Michelin LTX A/T2

The LTX A/T2 is Michelin's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed to meet the needs of today's recreational and commercial pickup, van and SUV drivers.

It was designed to provide even wear, low noise and good fuel efficiency, even in demanding commercial applications while delivering the year-round traction and durability expected from rugged off-road tires without forsaking the on-road comfort and handling expected of a Michelin tire.

The LTX A/T2 features an advanced light truck tread rubber compound molded into an independent tread block tread design featuring Michelin Biting Edges (notched blocks in the tread pattern) that enhance traction on dirt, mud, gravel, wet grass and snow.

Michelin's Advanced MaxTouch Construction results in a unique tire footprint shape that allows for long-lasting, even treadwear while their Comfort Control Technology uses computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing to reduce vibrations and road noise to deliver a comfortable ride.

The tire's internal structure includes two or three steel belts depending on the tire's Load Range and manufacturing location to enhance durability and tread puncture resistance.

All-terrain, all-season, all with one tire—the Michelin LTX A/T 2 light truck tire provides a great balance of off-road toughness and on-road comfort. 

Experience industry-leading MaxTouch® Construction, which evenly distributes road forces to help retain tire integrity. Backed by an aggressive tread pattern, The Michelin LTX A/T 2 is made of a durable compound that resists chips and tears to handle the toughest off-road environments. 

Off-road performance doesn't come at a sacrifice to on-road comfort. The Michelin LTX A/T 2 provides dependable all-season road traction thanks to circumferential grooves that resist moisture for maximum grip.

One of Michelin’s core characteristics is its ability to infuse tires with multiple performances and limited compromise. They’re perhaps most known for this design skill in the ultra-high performance tire category, where many Michelin tires achieve remarkable street + track performance duality.

“Bringing multiple performances together with innovative technologies to deliver the total performance all drivers need-that’s MICHELIN® Total Performance™.” – MichelinMan.com

A similar performance diversity is the call sign of the All-Terrain tire category. The name of the game in this space is to deliver real overland capability and durability, but with minimal day-to-day on-road compromise.

It seems like an engineering task tailor-made for the French manufacturer, but unlike other tire categories where Michelin tires are numerous, there’s only one current Michelin All-Terrain tire – the Michelin LTX A/T2.

A Closer Look:

• The latest trend in the All-Terrain tires looks a bit like a race to the most extreme. All-Terrain tires are, by definition, intended to stop short of the more extreme Mud-Terrain Tire attributes, but some of the modern All-Terrain entrants definitely push the boundaries and blur the line.
  
• By contrast, the LTX A/T2 falls at the conservative end of the All-Terrain tire spectrum. It’s aimed at those who want to open the window to All-Terrain tire performance and durability, but not to the extent that there are on-road drawbacks.
  
• So what’s the Michelin LTX A/T2 like from behind the wheel? Here’s a sneak peek.
  

On the road:

The LTX A/T2 features Michelin Comfort Control Technology™, a computer-optimized design for reduced road noise and better comfort.

It’s a tread design feature that’s apparent straightaway on-road. The LTX A/T2 produces just a faint, unobtrusive hum at low speeds and during mid-speed cornering (no thanks to the weight shift of our half-ton pickup). Insulated within a modern truck cabin, tread noise is essentially a non-factor once up to highway speeds though, which is where more aggressively treaded tires begin to “announce” their design features and off-road performance intentions.

The favorable on-road comfort characteristics should be enjoyed over the long-term – the LTX A/T2 is warrantied up to 60,000 miles (and gets the full Michelin Brand Promise treatment as well for stress-free purchasing and confident use).

Strong treadlife continues when used on gravel roads. In fact, it’s one of the LTX A/T2’s development focuses and strengths. Internal Michelin testing showed the LTX A/T2 to deliver up to 35% better tread mileage in gravel conditions as compared to leading All-Terrain tire competitors.

What does MS stand for on Michelin tires?

     M+S, M/S or M & S. All-season rating designation for tires that can perform at certain levels in mud and snow conditions. Meets the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) definition of a mud and snow tire. Match mounting.

Which is better all season or winter tires?

Snow tires outperform all-season tires under snowy and icy conditions. They'll give you better traction, more stability in turns and better stopping power. If you wonder whether your “all-season” tires perform just as well in snow as the best snow tires, we have the answer.
