The new tire feel more comfortable on the road and brings in good traction and handling. They are registered for 75,000 miles.

Michelin defenders LT XMS2 275/60R20 116H BSW

I don’t think that this has real good traction on a wet street i’m a little concerned about when the snow comes here in Wisconsin?

Great tires!

Tires are great! My F-150 came with these tires new. I liked them so much I replaced them with the thing. Very quiet smooth ride and great traction.

Awesome tire

Had these tires replace original Bridgestone Duellers on my 2018 GMC Yukon XL. Great ride, handling and quiet. Original replacement were Toyo Open Country but did not work with my vehicle at all. Tire dealer changed to Michelin after one month and difference was night/day. Definitely worth slight cost premium.

2020 Tundra OEM tires that only lasted 37,000 miles

I’ve been generally pleased with the performance of these tires—they handle well in both wet and dry conditions, provide a quiet and comfortable ride, and inspire confidence on the road. However, I was disappointed with the tread life. Despite careful and consistent driving, my set needed replacement at around 37,000 miles, well short of the advertised 60,000-mile expectation. Since these came as OEM equipment on my vehicle, there was unfortunately no warranty support available. Overall, great performance, but potential buyers should be aware of the faster-than-expected tread wear.

Great Tires!

Bought in the winter in Canada. Handled the snow and ice with ease. Little bit of slipping here and there but acted like a regular winter tire. I was really impressed. Very quiet and responsive. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. They look sharpe as well and the side wall always stays black.

Great Tires

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 has very good grip cornering and is very quiet for a tire that has an aggressive tread design. I have only owned the tires for 4 hours but I have already put the tires on several tests, including cornering and stopping. I am very satisfied with these tires, as I have been with other Michelin tires purchased over the past 20 or so years.

Great tires but slightly under predecessor

I purchased these tires after 6 years and 30k miles on my Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I was a little leery with the UTQG Traction rating dropping to B from the previous A but with tread life listed similarly and great previous performance, I gave them a shot. I've driven 2,500 miles before posting the review. The M/S2 are fantastic on dry pavement and dissipate water very well. Unfortunately, around 35 F they become noticeably harder and break free much easier on cold or wet pavement compared to the previous M/S. With that, my initial assumption is that they have worse performance but herein lies the paradox. While they don't seem great getting moving and break free easy on acceleration, they seem hold true and stop well once in motion. Snow performance is similar to the aforementioned, but again cornering is fairly steady until acceleration is applied. The truck will still go where it's intended, but with considerably more wheel spin than the previous M/S in 2H. MPG appears to be comparable between the 113T SL M/S and 117T XL M/S2. Both ride quiet and have good feel when braking. They have a good look but not overly aggressive and don't pick up too many rocks. I would 100% recommend these for those who rarely experience snow or cold but would probably stick to swapping these out for Michelin Ice X for the cooler or snow filled months or plan to use full time AWD and the possibility of reduced tread life due to the additional slipping.
