Defended!

We have been purchasing Michelin LT tires for almost 30 years now. Awesomely quiet, extremely good handling on wet roads and in rain, and 70,000-mile wear guarantee. Hard to find something to complain about.

Great Quality Tires

These are great tires! Good on dry, wet, or snowy roads. Very quiet, very durable and wear extremely well. 60 to 70 K easy.

Defender LTX M/S2 255/70 R18 on 2014 Navigator L

I only have about 500 miles on a new set of Defender LTX M/S2 255/70 R18 that replaced Michelin's LTX M/S2 mounted on a 2014 Lincoln Navigator L. The LTX M/S2's were the second set and each set only gave me about 45k miles; which were rotated and balanced every 5k miles and the alignment was always good; with even tire wear on all four tires. I hope for better mileage with the Defender tires and observed the Defender tires are noticeably quieter than the LTX were. The driving was

I have 51000 miles on my f 150 truck tires Michelin 275/60r20. They look almost new with plenty of tread remaining. Smooth,noise free riding tire. No uneven wearing,no flats, always maintained air pressure. Rotated every 6,000 miles. Very pleased with performance.

One heck of a fantastic tire!

Mitch defender LTX MS2 A 75000 mile warranty. WOW!! The tread dept is totally awesome....The old bias ply L series tire is where you might come close to this tread depth. Instantly noticed a smoother ride and a lot more stability. Railroad tracks were lots better. Stopping distance is much shorter than with my previous tires.

4 Michelin tires

I purchased 4 Michelin tires for my 2028 Tundra. I've had to go to a different tire shop to add air to the tires because they didn't have enough air in them. The 2nd time the other tire shop had to repair a leaking tire valve.

Not worth the money

Was excited to try out some Michelin tires on my Yukon. Went for an oil change and a tire rotation other day, mechanic told me he couldn’t rotate them because they were completely wore out!!! And it would not pass MVI!!! I went with the defenders because it had the best rating, unfortunately for the amount of money I paid I got half the life span out of them compared to the Bridgestone I had on it before, sometimes the reviews get it wrong, definitely did in my case, they were wore out after a year with next to no mileage and would not keep air.

Not happy

Not happy with these tires way too much weight they use 5 1/2 half ounces or more. Took it back they just moved them from the inside. The inside rim truck has a vibration now it didn’t help by moving the weights to a different place from the inside rim to the outside would not recommend this tire vibration of seats are shaking was not like this before about the tires had original tires bought the truck new Has never been wrecked. Wheels are not bent just poor quality tire they’re telling me this is normal.
