Our take

The Michelin LTX M/S2 is a strong choice for truck owners who prioritize longevity and wet grip. With a treadwear warranty of 70,000 miles, it comfortably surpasses the category average, making it ideal for long-distance haulers. Its wet grip score of 7 also exceeds the segment's typical performance, ensuring stable handling in rainy conditions.

While the tire's dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average, it remains competitive for everyday highway use. The comfort and noise levels are average, aligning with the segment norms but lacking any standout features. The 'R' speed rating is a limitation for those who might need higher speed capabilities, especially compared to competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3.

For those comparing options, the LTX M/S2 offers superior treadlife and wet grip over the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 and Hankook Dynapro HT RH12. However, if higher speed ratings or enhanced comfort are priorities, alternatives like the Firestone Destination LE3 might be more suitable.

Drivers who frequently travel at higher speeds or seek a quieter ride might want to consider other options with better speed ratings or comfort scores, such as the Firestone Destination LE3.

Pros

  • Outstanding treadlife with a 70,000-mile warranty, well above the category average of 61,048 miles.
  • Wet grip score of 7 is above the category average of 6.1, providing reliable performance in rainy conditions.
  • UTQG traction and temperature grades of 'A' indicate solid performance under heat and stress, suitable for highway use.

Cons

  • The 'R' speed rating may not meet the needs of drivers who require higher speed capabilities on highways.
  • Dry grip score of 7.5 is slightly below the category average of 7.7, which might be noticeable during spirited driving.
  • The speed rating of 'R' limits top speed compared to some competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3, which offers an 'S' rating.
  • Comfort and noise scores are average at 6.5, offering no advantage over competitors like the Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056.
