New Michelin LTX Trail

The All-Terrain Tyre That Actually Fits the Way New Zealanders Drive

Most ute and SUV owners in New Zealand don’t need an extreme off-road tyre.

They need a tyre that feels confident in the rain on State Highway 1. One that handles gravel roads without flinching. One that tows the boat north for the weekend, carries tools during the week, and still feels quiet and comfortable on the school run.

That’s exactly why the Michelin LTX Trail exists.

The LTX Trail is built for the way Kiwi utes and SUVs are genuinely used every day. It gives you the added confidence and durability of an all-terrain tyre, without the road noise, harshness, or compromises that come with aggressive off-road tyres. It’s capable when you need it to be. Comfortable when you want it to be. And refined enough to live with every single day. For most New Zealand drivers, it sits in the sweet spot.

The Smart Choice for Modern Utes and SUVs

Today’s utes do everything.

They commute. Tow trailers. Carry families. Head off-road occasionally. Cover long distances. Travel gravel roads. Tow the boat. Pull the caravan. Load up for camping trips. Drive through heavy rain. And most owners want one tyre that can confidently do all of it. That’s where the Michelin LTX Trail stands apart.

Unlike more aggressive all-terrain tyres designed for serious off-road terrain, the LTX Trail is focused on balanced real-world performance:

• Quiet on the highway
• Comfortable around town
• Strong in wet conditions
• Durable on gravel roads
• Tough enough for weekend adventures

It’s the tyre for people who actually use their ute everywhere.

Built for New Zealand Conditions

New Zealand roads are tough on tyres.

Coarse chipseal. Long highway drives. Gravel roads. Sudden weather changes. Wet corners. Rural roads. Heat in summer. Frost in winter. The Michelin LTX Trail has been engineered to handle all of it with confidence. Its advanced tread design and RallyForce2 compound are designed to deliver long-lasting grip and durability on both sealed and unsealed roads — helping the tyre last up to 41% longer than leading competitors.

That means:

• fewer tyre replacements,
• better long-term value,
• and confidence that lasts kilometre after kilometre.

Quiet Enough for Every Day

One of the biggest reasons many drivers avoid all-terrain tyres is simple: they can become noisy, heavy, and tiring to live with.

The Michelin LTX Trail was designed differently.

Using Michelin Duo-Harmony Block technology, the tread pattern helps reduce cabin noise and road vibration, creating a smoother and quieter driving experience.

So whether you’re:

• driving across town,
• heading away for the weekend,
• or spending hours on the open road,

the LTX Trail feels refined and comfortable in a way many all-terrain tyres simply don’t. Because most New Zealand drivers spend far more time on highways and everyday roads than they do climbing rocky trails.

Confidence When the Weather Turns

Anyone who drives regularly in New Zealand knows how quickly conditions can change. Dry roads become heavy rain. Smooth highways become greasy backroads. Gravel becomes mud. The Michelin LTX Trail is built to keep you feeling composed when that happens.

Its Variable Thickness Sipes maintain wet-road grip while helping preserve precise dry-road handling. The result is strong braking confidence and reassuring traction in conditions where many tyres begin to feel unsettled. For families, tradies, rural drivers, and anyone towing loads, that extra confidence matters. Especially when the weather turns bad halfway through the trip home.

Tough Enough for the Roads Beyond the Highway

The Michelin LTX Trail is not a hardcore mud-terrain tyre  and that’s exactly why it suits so many Kiwi drivers. It’s built for the places most New Zealand utes actually go:

• gravel roads,
• forestry access tracks,
• campsites,
• ski field roads,
• beaches,
• boat ramps,
• farm tracks,
• and back-country weekends away.

Its durable sidewall construction helps resist punctures and splits from rough terrain, while the Biting Shoulder Design adds extra sidewall protection when roads become uneven or rocky. You get genuine durability and all-terrain confidence without sacrificing comfort during the other 95% of your driving.
