What A DIFFERENCE THESE TIRES MAKE

I am very happy with the new tires and service I received. These tires are very quiet. Have not ran in snow but feel they will do good. Had three picks in stock. Took the best and have no regrets.

Great tire, great price!

I have always been a fan of the Michelin LTX line They have always been worth the extra 50$ per tire. The have always done well in slushy ice and snow. They consistently wear for a long time. I'm happy to have scored a discount this tire. It was definitely a one off as it was the last in stock. I thank Walmart for the pay on 4 option. Just need a couple more now. This tire was manufactured in Nov 2025 and it's currently Feb 2026, so I know that this is new stock. Another bonus!

Great tires

Best price for these tires. The tires hold up very well if you take care of them. Correct tire pressure and rotation. These tires replace the old ones which were the same model and brand. We tow a camper and don't want any tire problems along the way. Service and installation was perfect.

Best big pickup towing truck tires! This tire managed to combine firm control with a smooth ride, usually a tradeoff when choosing a tire.. Quieter as well. Complete win and worth the extra cost over tires that will give you noticeably less.

Great Performance!

Michelin tires are hard to beat, I just put the Defender LTX M/S2 on 2024 Ford Expedition...butter smooth and has performed great in the summer time thunderstorms / interstate travel. Over the years, I've had several sets from the LTX family on SUVs and Pick-ups...just can't say enough about them.

Need for improvement.

Installation went well. But the Green Bay Sam's has an aggravating access means for parking the vehicle near the service garage doors and then having to walking around 200 feet outside to the club's entrance and about 200 feet inside the store to the tire center. And then, when the vehicle is done, one has to do the same walk again. Customers should not have to waste time on a hike to get service. They have a walkway from an employee garage service door to the tire service counter that has pipe rails separating it from the work area. This should satisfy their insurer. If not, Sam's should do what's needed so customers can use it or some other customer-friendly way to do business.

New M/S 2 not as plush as originals (NOT RECOMMENDED)

The ride on these tires are rough! not comfortable at all. Very different compared to the original defender ltx m/s which I still have in my wife's car. Bought these tires thinking they were the same.... NOPE not even close. Not to mention they are hard to balance. Need to "road force" balancer to get them right. The only attributes I can say is that they handle pretty good and they are not bad in the rain. BUT since the ride quality is atrocious, then the good not matter no more. Do yourself a favor and go get some Continentals.

DO NOT BUY

Installed on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and had terrible vibration and bouncing. Balanced 4 times and last was road force balanced. NO CHANGE!!! Shop replaced and new tires are just as bad. BUYER BEWARE. Shop has tried to make it right but they are the one losing due to bad Michelin tires.
