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.

Road Tires

I love these tires on my jeep. They're good driving tires for all road conditions.

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.

Great tires

I have used these tires on all my vehicles. Honda Pilot, Lincoln Navigator and just got theses tires on 2025 Toyota tundra. The dealer tires that came with the tundra were only good for 25k. Michelin defenders always lasted 80-85k when properly rotated on time.

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

Safest, most comfortable ride you can get is with Michelin's on your vehicle.

Have Michelin Defender LTX 2 on our Lincoln Navigator, and Defender 2 on our Ford Explorer Platinum. They are the most comfortable, best handling, with perfect traction in all weather conditions. They handle the most aggressive roads, are extremely durable, and the tread outlasts the warranty by many miles.

Buy them, You Won't Regret - The Best

I own a 2024 Landcruiser and the OEM LXT Trail ties needed replacement. Replaced with the Defender LTX MS/2 and so much better of a tire. So much more stable and controlled ride. The tire is heavier than the LTX Trail and I did see a drop of about 3% in fuel economy - but that is a good trade off for the far superior drive performance.

DO NOT BUY

Installed on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and had terrible vibration and bouncing. Balanced 4 times and last was road force balanced. NO CHANGE!!! Shop replaced and new tires are just as bad. BUYER BEWARE. Shop has tried to make it right but they are the one losing due to bad Michelin tires.
