Michelin Premier LTX Review

Exceptional all weather traction, high levels of fuel efficiency and superb controllability are the main features of Michelin’s Premier LTX. This model ensures safer year round performance, great handling durability and lower levels of fuel consumption thanks to the technologies Michelin utilized in its manufacture.

We at Priority Tire are proud to offer the Premier LTX in our touring tire line-up. The model is made to be mounted on crossover vehicles, SUVs and light trucks. Every driver can easily find what they are looking for among the Premier LTX sizes.

The tire is also extremely cost-efficient. Not only does it manage to lower the vehicle’s fuel consumption, it also lengthens the tread life. The tire is usable for a longer period of time and Michelin offers a 60,000 mile – 30,000 miles for rear tires mounted on staggered vehicles – tread wear warranty.

All Weather Traction

All season tires have an advantage on the tire market. They are more sought after as they can easily perform throughout the year and they save the cost of tire set changes in the summer and winter seasons.

The Premier LTX is an all season tire that was manufactured with Michelin’s EverGrip Safety Technology. The EverGrip Safety optimizes the tread design and the tire’s compound to guarantee its excellent dry, wet and winter performance. The special silica and sunflower oil Helio compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures and promotes first-rate traction in wet and winter weather conditions. The high-density siping detail of the tread design firmly grips the road surface throughout the year.

The tire also avoids dangerous hydroplaning. The tread design’s block placement and wide circumferential grooves, along with the enhanced wet weather traction of the silica-infused compound, improve the water and slush dispersing capability. They channel water and slush away from the tire’s footprint and prevent hydroplaning. As the tire resists hydroplaning, it offers a secure driving experience.

Fuel Efficiency

The vehicle’s fuel consumption does not just depend on its performing capability. The tires mounted on the vehicle also hinder or improve its fuel economy, depending on their treatment of the rolling resistance affecting them.

The rolling resistance is the driving force or pressure that influence the tires during the drive, which determines the amount of energy and fuel the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lower rolling resistance means reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions on the vehicle’s part, which offers a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performance.

The Premier LTX ensures its fuel efficiency with its tread design and tire compound. The optimal traction they provide eases the driving pressure off the tire and lessens its rolling resistance. The silica compound enhances the tire’s traction, while the additional biting edges of the siping detail promotes a firm road grip in all weather, which provides a fuel saving driving experience.

Handling and Maneuvering

A stabilized performance and a quick steering response are needed from all tires to ensure their excellent controllability. Tires must be easily controlled in all weather to guarantee a secure year round performance.

The Premier LTX features a reinforced internal structure and strengthened sidewalls that maintain its optimal shape under the driving pressure affecting it. This stabilizes the structure during the drive and ensures constant road contact. The better road contact allows the tire’s faster and more precise steering response to the driver’s instructions, which upgrades its controllability significantly.

The EverGrip technology’s special silica-based Helio compound improves the tire’s braking capability. This compound, along with the siping detail’s biting edges, manages to shorten the braking distance. At the moment of braking, they create friction, which helps the tire stop quicker to ensure a safer performance.
