I've had the Defender series on several different vehicles. Best performing road tire I've ever had. Wet, slick, icy and light snow, the traction, stopping power and cornering is the best. I'd love to have some narley looking AT tires on my 4runner for looks but I'll never change from the Defenders, I feel safe with them on my vehicle.

I was actually thinking about the comfort and the smooth ride I get with these Tires and I like them enough to buy again. The cracking and appearance of My old one's is rushing Me, I'm only at 50% or maybe 40% tread, I would be able to get another Season or 2 at least.....it'd be worth the money then.

I shopped around a variety of tires for my Ford F150. After looking a lot of different brands and styles, decided I like the Michelin LTX best of all. The tire handles extremely well in rain or snow. Grips the road well. especially on turns. I feel very confident when I am on the road with this tire. One of the better tires I have come across in my years in the car repair business.

This is my second set of tires on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Truk has 185K miles. Driving around the city or on the highway very comfortable. reat traction and gas mileage has been outstanding. 20 mpg on the highway! Would definitely buy these again. Great in the rain and wet locations and in the snow with 4x4. I get very good mileage fro these tires easy 70K miles. Have not done too much off road with these so I can't comment.

I bought the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 275/55R20 for my 2016 Chevy Tahoe LT. These tires completely changed the Ride, Control, and Stability of my wife’s vehicle in Rain and on Dry surfaces here in South Louisiana. I liked these tires so much that I put a set on my 2016 Silverado Crew Cab Defender LTX M/S 275/50R22, All I can tell you is what a difference in the way my truck rides, handles, and tracks on any given road conditions. These tires are pricey, but in the long run they will pay for themselves.

I replaced to Defender LTX M/S from original Premier LTX which was recommended as 'same' by tire specialist for my Pacifica Limited AWD. Wrong! It is noisy and bouncy at all speed. Also lost 0.3 mpg. No big deal on mpg loss. This tire may be better fit for pickups and off roads.

In rain the tire catches traction In stoping and take off as if it goes below the rain to stop or take off with a squeal as if it were on dry pavement. Haven't ever experienced another tire to do the job in wet conditions as if it were dry. I am 59 yrs. old and have never experienced another tire to do this. Other tire companys shouls want to learn this from you all!

I run michelins on 3 vehicles, 2 dodge diesels and a jeep grand Cherokee. The first experience I had with Michelins was on a 2004 dodge truck. They came as original equipment. After 65 thousand miles, I replaced them with michelins and installed the used tires on another truck for they had about 40 percent tread left. When my grand Cherokee needed tires, I replaced the originals with michelins. They are the best.

Dear Sir or Madam: Back in 2004 I purchased my Nissan pathfinder Armada LE a 6500 lb SUV. After Trying other Brands I and being gravely disappointed on how poorly the tires lasted, I purchased my first set, my second set and now my 4th set of Michelin Tires. The Armada now has 240,000 miles on it. A lot of miles in the rearview mirror, but my Michelin lasted well past the Warranty stated at purchased. And yes I used Nirogen, and did the rotations and alignments and balancing etc. And Hocus Pocus they lasted, well past the warranty milage...So the "Beast" just keeps rolling. best Regards, Gray Ghost, Raleigh NC

Bought new Michelin 18” Defender LTX M/S2 tires for a Ford F250 to replace Michelins that had come with the truck. My old tires were smooth as silk and I actually got more miles from them than the warranty. However, the new tires vibrated badly, so I had them rebalanced twice, with no improvement. Michelin replaced the tires under warranty, but the new tires also vibrate badly. I took them to another shop that had a road force balancer and paid out of my own pocket to have them rebalanced again. There was some improvement, but there’s still a significant amount of vibration. I'm very disappointed in these tires.
