The tires are still fairly new to us. So far they have performed really well. They are pretty quiet on the road. We have had the car out in the rain and they seem to handle and grip well in wet conditions. Overall we are happy with our choice of tires.

New tires

Could be Michelin's best tire. OEM on parents '03 GMC Envoy. I normally am not a fan of OEM tires, but these were exceptional. When replacement time came, local tire shop (and Michelin experts) recommended that these tires were still the best option. Just replaced those, as my parents don't drive nearly as much in their advanced age and the tires were starting to show signs of dry rot, which I've read is normal with Michelin's high mileage tires as they just don't wear out! These newest ones are probably the best Michelin tires, and I speak from experience. Another vehicle was supplied OEM with Primacy Tours, which were trash, and I replaced with the Defender2 and while better, aren't the equal of the Defender LTX! I have another vehicle with Pilot Sport All Season 4s which might be slightly better than the Defender LTX, but I have to knock them a point as I can't get 20k miles on them. But they ARE a high performance tire, and phenomenal! The Defender LTX is incredibly quiet, smooth, and resists hydroplaning and tramlining. Haven't bee drven in the snow, but considering how excellent they are in the other 3 seasons, I'm confident they'd perform just fine in the snow. Highly recommend!

Could be Michelin's best tire

Hands down, these are the best tires on the market for passenger vehicles.  I've had these tires on 3 different vehicles now.  2 pickups and an SUV. Excellent traction, very smooth ride, and great durability.  Provides confidence when on snow, ice, water or other slippery surfaces.  Until one of these fails me prematurely, I will never put a different tire on any of my vehicles.

Best Passenger Vehicle Tire Out There

This will be the third set of Defender LTX M/S that have been on my truck. The first set was on the truck when I bought it in 2013. That set had 83,000 miles on them. I then bought another set of the same tire hoping they would last as long as the first set. And they did even better with 90,000 miles on those. Now I have the third set on. I hope they do just as well. I check the tire pressure on a regular basis and rotate them every 10,000 miles. Both sets have worn very evenly and ride very nice. I live in MN and they do well in all four seasons. I drive a Honda Ridgeline and it handles very well with these tires.

Best tires I've ever purchased!  I put them on both of my Tacomas and I'm on my second set on my current daily driver.  I get close to 100k miles on each set.  Yes, I rotate them and run the appropriate tire pressure as scheduled.  The handling of my truck in adverse weather is so much better with my Michelin Defender LTX M/S...even in hurricane rain they grip the road while other vehicles are hydroplaning

Love'm

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6  to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Stop Looking

I put these tires on  my diesel pickup. I pull a 40 ft fifth wheel  trailer.
They really are nice on the hwy.  They rid a lot better that the original Michelin tires from the factory when new.
When driving on roads that have been cracked filled across the width of the lanes with tar, they take most of the bumps out .and gives a nice smooth ride.
I have not found anything with these tires that I do not like.  They are good.

So far so good but then I have always liked Michelin Tires.

Michelin Defender  LT27570R18

I have found the best light truck and SUV all-terrain of all time. I will be happy After I get our 5th set installed next week. Long lasting. Great traction wet, dry, and snow. They are worth the money for peace of mind.
Quiet ride. Once you get about 3 years on any tire they start to get loud, hard, and slick tread. The defender ltx ms2 do not.

Best light truck and SUV all-terrain tire

I really like these tires, they are Michelin quality.   However, I am giving them 4 stars because my gas mileage was reduced 1-2 miles per gallon, as compared to my previous set of Michelins.  The rolling resistance may be greater and they appear to be more of an all purpose/all terrain hybrid.

Good tires

I love Michelin tires and have always been pleased with them. I purchased these and traded them for a different Michelin because they made a lot of noise when I was driving on the highway. It may have been a defective tire in the mix, it was hard to tell. The service department traded them out for me. The tires did brake well and handled well in the rain.

Good braking but a little more noise than normal

These tires were purchased Feb. 26, 2021 on a new vehicle.  The date today is June 19, 2023.  I have driven 18,500 miles since my purchase and the wear bars have already shown on two of the tires and the other two tires are close behind.  This is only with highway driving.  I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin Premier LTX tires.  Needless to say, these tires have shown excessive wear.
