BFGoodrich g-Force Phenom T/A 

Huge improvement over the stock Bridgestone Ecopia's. Ride quality is worlds better. 3rd Party tests confirm the excellent wet performance, and I haven't had any issues which is the only way I can confirm the excellent wet traction they provide.

When you're buying, make sure you're buying the improved version which has a callout on the sidewall as "DT". These are the newer ones listed on Michelin's web page (part number is different too). I once found a comparison between this DT with the older one, and seems the dry traction was better on the new one.

I don't know how long they're going to last, and I honestly don't care. I will happily trade some longevity with more safety and comfort. In the end, these rubbers are the only thing that the vehicle and the road meet each other.

I bought these for my 2011 Toyota 4Runner Limited. It has 20 inch wheels that are only 7 inches wide (a bad decision by Toyota, but it is what it is) and this significantly limits the number of tires and tire brands one can safely choose from. Thankfully the Michelin Premier LTX's are now available in the 245/60/R20 size that fits the 4Runner Limited's 20x7 inch stock wheels. I'm 100% certain that these are the very best all-season tires one can buy in the 245/60/R20 size. If you are searching for tires for your 4Runner Limited with 7-inch wide rims, look no further! Yes, they cost more, but the safety and comfort are well worth the extra money. They'll also last a heck of a lot longer than the OEM Bridgestone Dueller H/T D684 II's that come with the 4Runner. The Premiere LTX's are the best tires I've ever owned. They are incredibly smooth and quiet. They offer great traction, wet & dry. I'm amazed at how well they disperse water. I can barely detect puddles as I drive through them. I'm hoping the snow performance is acceptable for an A/S tire and initial reviews suggest it will be. The only criticism I have is that I've noticed a slight drop in gas mileage. I'm fine with that considering all the benefits these tires yield. Assuming the tread life is satisfactory, I would definitely buy again!

P.S.) You will read about some people putting 275/55/R20's on their 20x7 inch 4Runner Limited wheels. Don't follow their advice; it's foolish. You need at least a 7.5 inch wheel for a 275/55/R20 tire. Although the wider 275/55/R20 tires look much nicer than the 245/60/R20 tires and they are easier to find at a local tire shop with a wider selection of tire brands to choose from, if there was ever an issue (accident, blowout, etc.) insurance could blame it on the non-compliant tire size (even if it wasn't the real cause). In addition, you are putting other people (passengers, pedestrians, other drivers) at risk.

As the winter season comes to an end, it is time for an update. These were actually surprisingly good in cold, snowy days. They actually gave me more confidence than I had expected of them. When comparing them to the previous set, which was a off/on road tire, they showed better starting, cornering and braking, is up to 2" of snow on the road. Compacted snow made the car work a little harder than normal, to gain speed, but, they kept very predictable and were driving at higher speed than traffic was going. Icy roads were handled with caution, and I found these Michelin to be giving me confidence in steering and stopping. All in all, a very good experience.

Let's see what next winter has in store for us.

It's almost time for new tires, and I will be replacing my current Premier LTX's with another set. I live in the Sierra Nevada, hence most of my driving is on winding roads in all sorts of weather. These tires have proven to be the best all-around for me. While the dry traction isn't as good as a high performance summer tire, it is superior to other all season tires I have had. Steering response is not race-tire sharp, but it is quite good, consistent and predictable making these tires enjoyable on mountain roads. Wet traction is top notch. What surprised me most was light snow and ice traction: Shortly after getting these tires we had a light snow storm followed by freezing conditions, and I got around when others with 4WD and winter tires were stuck on our hilly street. OK, part of that is probably due to the Mercedes "4Matic" system, but the tires have to be a big factor. Riding comfort and noise are also excellent.
The only disappointment has been tread life: Caveat, I had a rear alignment issue that I didn't notice which wiped out the outer tread bands on the rear tires before I woke up. The other two tires have enough tread I estimate they would have probably made it to 38 - 40,000 miles, but that is still short of the UTOQ rating expected tread life. On the other hand, it is similar to what I have experienced with other tires in this category. Bottom line, I have been happier with these tires than with competitors, I recommend them and I will be buying another set in the near future.

Excellent snow and ice performance. Maybe not quite as good as the previous Blizzaks but very close. Certainly acceptable for Virginia winters and q bit more responsive and more quiet on dry surfaces.

These are great tires, only had 3500 miles on them, and they are the best tires I have ever had. The emphasis of these tires is wet traction, as well as short stopping distances, and much better compared to the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400 that I had before, which are absolutely horrific. It delivers a comfortable ride as well as low tread noises. The dry traction is also great, but I expected a little bit more traction when going up my steep driveway, it tends to skid a little bit sometimes when there are branches on my driveway, but I still can drive up my driveway with ease, and much smoother than my previous tires. No major problems with these tires yet, but there are a couple of minor issues. One is going up my driveway when dry (no problem when wet for some reason), and also I personally don't like the softness of the tires. Yes, I know the Michelin people did that because they wanted to increase wet and light snow traction, but I find it really sticky which makes the cornering and nimble maneuvering not as responsive. Did not drive on snow yet, but will do an update this winter on these tires when going through snow.

Exceptional tires. Installed on my Euro-spec (and driven) Q5. Mixed driving on Autobahn and little European villages/towns. These have handled dry, unlimited speed highway and slow-go rainy and muddy village paths with equal aplomb. Routine and effortless comfort and handling at speeds in excess of 170km/hr. I have no info on snow/ice because I take these off to save them for 3 season driving.

These are the nosiest tires that I have ever purchased. They do seem to perform well as long as you turn up the volume on the radio!

I bought these based on TireRack reviews. We replaced a set of Yoko's we really liked. These are better. These might be the best tires I've ever purchased. They run quiet, they are GREAT on rainy highways at speed, and they're nice on dry pavement. I haven't driven off road with these and we haven't encountered snow yet, but so far so great. I am buying a second set for my other car. Massive wet traction upgrade and I expect same in snow/ice.

30 days and 1,500 miles in and these tires have already started to exceed expectations. They provide confidence when driving in
wet conditions with no hydroplaning at highway speeds, and provide a superior ride quality with low road noise. The ride almost makes me forget I am driving a truck! I am very happy with the performance with these tires and will continue to provide additional feedback as I put on more miles.

good grip on the road if dry and rain wet. tires spin immediately on ice or snow. tread wear is poor. very soft tire. had 2 flats in first year where 1 had to be replaced and the other was saved with a patch. a third incident the short screw was pulled and no penetration. tires hold air and very strong sidewall. i will never buy these again.

After 24k miles, the tires are down to 3/32 all around (rotated tires every 5k miles; checked air pressure every month; alignment check every year; most of the time only 1 adult + 3 young kids in the minivan with no extra stuff in the back). Before this set, the original tires that came with the car lasted 36k miles and were at 4.5/32 before I switched to this. Will probably not buy again.

After only 26000 miles these tires are done which is not acceptable and as such I will never purchase this tire again and do not recommend it to anybody who lives in hot weather climate. I rotated the tires every 5000 miles. It's a low noise and comfortable ride tire with rather poor tire wear performance.
