[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Michelin tires are top notch and really go the extra mile. Long lasting with great traction. Delivered excellent grip for shorter braking distance on wet roads. Black side walls, overall well made and good quality long lasting tires!

I now have approx. 40,000 miles on a set of these. They are in all respects very good tires. The wear seems to be as expected, they are great on wet highways and relatively quiet although as all Michelins do, they seem to be getting noisier as they wear. What I don't like is they are as hard as rocks and with every pothole or manhole it feels like the front of the truck is getting torn off. I had the Primacy's prior to these and for us, they were a much better tire. I don't do a lot of heavy hauling and would prefer the softer ride. I think I'll be going back to the Primacy in the future.

Bought in the winter in Canada. Handled the snow and ice with ease. Little bit of slipping here and there but acted like a regular winter tire. I was really impressed. Very quiet and responsive. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. They look sharpe as well and the side wall always stays black.

I bought my 2nd set of Michelin Defenders after going 86,676mi on the first set. I never bought Michelin tires until I bought my first set of Defenders. I probably could have driven another 5k-7kmi but I noticed that traction wasn't that good in the rain with 86k plus miles. Very impressed with these tires quietness, longevity, and performance. When it's time to ditch the 2nd set of Defenders, I will definitely be buying a 3rd time.

I've run through two sets of the original Defender LTX M/S, and they were nice and smooth. No problems. Now that they're discontinued, went with the M/S2. Two had to be replaced for high road force. They do NOT ride as smooth as the originals. Bounce and shudder. Very disappointed.

Just bought 4 Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 very good looking tires, sold me on the 2 years extra treadwear and other features, they was not kidding, handing on the road and comfortable quiet ride on the highway, grip the road no problem it meet the task

Great tires for wet weather and smooth ride. Very quiet.

These are the most quiet and comfortable tires I've ever owned

Handling is excellent on the road and going into corners.

Put them on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe smooth ride, Quiet & reasonable price!!
