It is not every day that you come across a product that is not only suitably described by the maker. The Defender LTX M/S2 is such a product. I didn't choose them they came stock on my 2018 F-150 and I have to say Ford mede a great choice. Not only are they a quite tire, they are surefooted in the rain and give great response on dry roads. I think when you combine those two with the longevity of the tires you have a winner. I now have 49,750 miles on this original set and they look like they can go another 10,000 miles easily. I just returned from a 5,450 mile vacation trip and I was expecting to possibly have to replace them before coming home. To my surprise the tires look just like they did before I left. I am planning to replace them with the same tire when they do wear out and I am also adding a spare of the same size. Rotations will then cost a bit more for 5 tires but I expect I'll have that set for a lot longer that this one. I'm saving money with these tires that's another reason to choose them.

These tires are awesome. The traction is great. The do great in any type of weather. These tires have almost no road noise. They make my 2008 feel like newer car with the way tires handle. These tires are well worth the money that cost you wont be sorry u purchased them

Bought these tires about 4 months ago. They have about 5k miles so far. They are so much smoother and better steering response than the Toyos that came on vehicle. I have had two other sets of these on other vehicles in the past. I'm sure these will deliver the same excellent quality my others have. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

I have had these tires for about two years now. There is just over 40,000 kilometers on them and I'm not likely to get another 10,000 out of them. To be fair the stock tires were no better but the rating on the defenders was a lot more than 50,000 kilometers.

My previous set of tires were Michelin. They were rated for 70,000 miles and I got 90,000 miles out of them. I only replaced them because I was driving and pulling a trailer from Milwaukee to Detroit, and winter is coming. I probably had another 10,000+ miles on them.

When I purchased my new SUV I complained about the ride all the time. I think they put the cheapest tires they could find on at the factory. When I only got 20,000 miles on them and they needed replaced, my first choice was Michelin. The ride improved 100%! I have purchased them in the past and have always been satisfied.

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

I have had 5+ sets of these on 2 different suburbans, 1) f150 std cab longbox, 1) Chevrolet dually cab-chassis with dump and snow-plow, and now on my '14 Superduty Kingranch. If my continued patronage of this specific tire doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what..I am in Wisconsin, and snow and ice traction are important. These tires are excellent in snow and ice, without quick wear like a winter tire 80k/set. Ride comfort is outstanding. I replaced the Michelin AT tires with these on the superduty, and they are 10 times better for traction and comfort. If you are wondering if these tires are worth the extra money, they absolutely are!

I have the Defender LTX M/S on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, replacing LTX MS2 tires that I used for 45,000 miles. The car is driven mostly in Montana where we have a lot of slippery snow packed roads and some black ice. I now have 6,000 miles on the new tire, mostly winter driving so far. The tires handle similarly to the ones they replaced, good handling on dry pavement, noise is not an issue. My complaint is that they do not have as much traction on snow-packed / icy roads as the tires they replaced. I can feel slippage at times and places I've driven for years in several generations of Grand Cherokees. Tires seem hard in cold weather
