Let’s talk about these differences before diving into the good stuff. The lifespan of any tire depends on the tire design, how the tires are used, the weather where they spend most of their time, and how they are cared for. In general, and in good conditions, with regular care, a Michelin tire can last as long as 10 years. Michelin recommends that you start paying close attention to your tires at five years. They also provide a tool on their website to help you determine when your tires need to be replaced.
Michelin passenger tires are available for your coupe, sedan, or minivan! With tire lines like the Defender, Energy, Latitude, Pilot, and Primacy, Michelin’s full line up of passenger tires offers the perfect tire that offers both versatility and comfort. Increasingly popular on the roads today are Sport Utility Vehicles or SUVs. Some people have a “thing” about sitting up high where they can see over a few car lengths of traffic. Others may have a large family and need extra seats to tote the kids around town. Or, if you’re like me, you have an SUV for toting around your pets and all the junk that accumulates in the car (did somebody say something about a trunk full of shoes?).

So, now you have the 411 and based on that information it’s time to decide which Michelin tires are best for your SUV (or light truck). Personally, I’m going with the Michelin LTX M/S 2s, but it’s your vehicle so the choice is up to you. And because Michelin really is the leader in tries they’ve even equipped this winter tire with some low rolling resistance technology (decreasing rolling resistance by 10%) to help improve fuel economy. It’s not much, but winter tires generally impact fuel economy on vehicles and winter temperatures definitely do, so every little bit helps.
