Superior in Confidence!

I bought them 5 months ago and put 6663 miles on them so far. They are quiet and sturdy giving me complete confidence that they will provide more miles than what they are rated for (70,000). I put them on a 2017 Lexus GX460. They destroyed my MPG ~30%. I still love them!

Incredible performance all terrain tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Alabama, a little south of Birmingham and we just had a little bit of a winter storm here a few weeks ago but I was still required to go to work, I say this because if it wasn’t for these incredible tires, I never would’ve attempted to drive anywhere in that weather!! I felt safe driving in the rain and ice and below freezing cold temperatures. The Michelin - Defender® LTX M/S2 tires are not just your run of the mill tires, they are built to last and to keep you and your family safe! The tread is thick and built to withstand whatever conditions you may encounter. I absolutely love these tires and I tell everyone they should get them for themselves if they want dependable and durable tires!!

Tires performed better than expected!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this these tires and put them on my husband’s truck last month. The tires were quiet and smooth on the road, and even on gravel/dirt. We took them out in the rain, and had no problems. Haven’t had them long enough to inspect any tread-related issues, but confident the tread will hold up over time based on the quality material construction. .

Great tires but could use improvement in this regard.

I just ordered a set of 275-55-R20 Defender LTX M/S2's to replace my older LTX2's and found that they still use a bar code sticker molded into the bead. On my old set of M/S2's this sticker caused a severe leak on three of my four wheels. This sticker caused moisture to collect between the rim and sticker and eventually corroded the aluminum rim. I had to dismount all four tires, remove the corrosion from the rim and remount with bead sealer after removing the sticker and re balance. Fortunately I was able to do all this myself as I have a friend that has the proper equipment to do it. Otherwise I would have to pay for it. Why put this sticker in this location???

Performance okay, ride is the worst.

First of all, the tire performance has been pretty good in all sorts of weather conditions. At times I’ve experienced light hydroplane issues on my 2017 F-150 2x4 XLT SuperCrew. My biggest issue, and why I despite these tires is the ride. After maybe 9 on the of running them, the ride degraded quickly. They ride like rocks, and every bump has the potential to send jarring shock waves down your rear end and back. It’s really bad. I have had the truck checked, I’ve changed shocks and everything is fine. I’m now approaching time to replace and it’s genuinely the worst ride I’ve had in my 40 years of trucks. I really don’t understand this as I have always used Michelin as my top choice.

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tires!! They work perfectly for any surface, mud, rainy, gravel, etc. The tires fit like a glove and when you drive it feels smooth and easy to drive with. I have no complaints at all. I would totally recommend.

Great Traction

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these a month or so ago to try and Absolutely love them. These have great traction in the rain and on dry pavement. They are super quiet, durable and a all around solid tire. I highly recommend giving these a try.

Great highway tire

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are all around good tires. There isn't a lot of road noise when driving. We towed our trailer and they did great. My only complaint is that they pick up smaller rickas and pebbles when traveling off road. Excellent on the highway. We are now Michelin customers.
