Initial Review, 1,000 Miles on Tires
December 07, 2012

With only 1000 miles so far, I haven't been able to try them in snow yet, but so far I think these are good, solid tires. Much more stable feeling than the uniroyal cross terrains I had before. They drive straight and with NO vibration what so ever even up to 80MPH (so far). Believe it or not, I had 100,000 miles on them when I replaced them and still would pass inspection but I wanted a more aggresive tread for this coming winter. I'm confident that these Destinations will really deliver in the snow. Yes, they are noticably louder that the Uniroyals. Hey, it's a Tacoma.....not a Mercedes. Turn the radio up a bit louder. The noise is NOT a LOT louder. VERY easy to get used to. I'm sure these will be awesome tires that will last a long, long time. You wont be dissapointed.

In 42 years of driving, this is undoubtedly the finest set of tires I have ever owned. I have owned top of the line Goodyear, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Uniroyal, and Kelly-Springfield. No other tire I've owned outperforms these tires in terms of quiet, smooth ride, tread wear, responsiveness and sure footedness in wet weather. No other tires I have used even comes close to giving me the confidence I have in the performance of these tires in wet weather. I purchase premium tires because I need to feel safe while driving regardless of the weather and at whatever speed I am driving.. The Firestone Affinity Touring tire give me that confidence.

I definitely recommend these tires and will re-purchase. They are worth every penny I paid.

I've put about 800 miles on the Michelin Energy Savers. Yes They do....save gas. I went from some worn out Uniroyals with 40,000 miles to these tires. The first tank if gas took me from 18.9 MPG to 22.3 MPG, an 18% increase. the tires will pay for themselves in less than a year of normal driving. They are Michelin quiet, smooth and responsive on top of that. If they hold up over 40,000 miles they are a bargain.

Gmc Canyon 4x4, S-10 4x4, Honda Ridgeline, Toyota 4Runner, All 4 wear LTX M/S. My Canyon just got 3rd set of LTX's, second set got 80,000 miles. S-10 is on its 4th set, it's pushing 200,000. 4Runner is still on 2nd set at 55,000 miles, truck has 130,000. Michelin was very acommoidating to warranty replace all 4 on my Ridgeline at 35,000 miles 7/32 tread left for cracking tread and sidewall. I worked in the tire industry several years back and found through experience that Michelin makes a superior product in most of their product lines. My BMW has stock 18" PS2's and My 09 V6 Accord has 18" stock Michelins. The Max performance Michelin's I have used are unprecedented for traction & handling, 25,000 for wear is common for me. Over 30 years of personal tire buying my advice is to pay a small amount more up front and in the end you will be better served for the life of your tires. I have used Goodrich, Uniroyal, Firestone, Yokohama, Goodyear,& Bridgestone, all fall short in long range performance. Only the Yokahama and Bridgestone were close in long life ride comfort, as well as tread wear. Please take my comments seriously, I have had literally hundreds of personal and business tires and Michelin as a company has serviced me better than the other manufactures. If you regularly maintain the alignment and shocks on a vehicle & check your air pressure, The Michelin will in general wear more evenly and maintain a better ride longer, not to mention service you more mileage on most of their product line.

I purchased this set of tires for my 2000 Seville STS and it is by far the best set of tires I have ever put on a vehicle. My old Uniroyal's were worn out after 20,000 miles and they never rode great on this car, but these Michelin's make this car feel like new. Bumps that were previously felt aren't existent anymore, and cornering stability is much improved. When I first installed them I felt they were rough, but after breaking in the car is smooth and goes over every road surface with ease. I'm throughly enjoying the capabilities of these tires, and there is no better tire in the rain. Hydroplaning is no longer an issue, and I can actually give the car throttle and not worry about it slipping and having the traction control system kick in. I'm a Michelin customer for life, and Tire Rack is great to deal with. Will definitely purchase again!

I bought my Baja used with just under 100,000 miles on it. It had Uniroyal Tiger Paws on it that looked to have plenty of tread left. Well the first time it snowed I found out that the Subaru has plenty of traction to get going, but I could not stop or steer. Time for new tires. I read the reviews on Tire Rack and checked out Consumer Reports. The Hankook's appeared to be a clear winner, so I ordered a set. Wow, what a difference! After having them mounted, I was driving home and was shocked by how quite my car had become. I just thought it was noisy and rode bad because it was an older car. These tires made it feel like a brand new car! I literally started to laugh on the way home. Drove in the rain with no problems. We had our first snow fall and I actually had brakes and could maintain control. I love these tires and cannot recommended them highly enough. Thanks Hankook and thanks Tire Rack! Buy these tires, you will not be disappointed.
