I have been a fan of Michelin LTX tires for my light trucks for many years. The problem is with your rebate process. The on-line process is so cumbersome and riddled with technical roadblocks that many people without high level computer skills will simply NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS! Are you kidding me, how many people actually have a FAX machine at home!

I have a lifted Ford F150 and I had a big mud tires and it was a ROUGH and LOUD ride. I had the Michelin Defenders installed today and it's like a completely different truck. It rides SO MUCH better and quiet it's hard to believe. I don't write a lot of reviews, but these tires are truly amazing and deserve a five star review.

The tires look great, seem to handle fine and tread depth looks deeper than some. (Maybe it just looks that way) Now, a couple of issues: I had them mounted on my original rims which were running the previous tires just fine. When I first start driving there is considerable vibration at 100kph for about the first 10 kilometers. Then it goes away and they are fine. I had the tire shop rebalance them and I have the same issue. They don't know why this happens so I guess I'll live with it. The second thing I should mention is that they are quite noisy on the road. (Noisier than my winter tires) I'm guessing that probably my set is just unusual as I didn't read anything about the vibration issue when I was researching the tires.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Tire – Smooth, Quiet, and Built to Last I couldn't be happier with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires. From the moment they were installed, the ride quality was noticeably smoother and quieter than anything I've run before. Highway driving is exceptionally stable and comfortable, even on long trips, and road noise is minimal. Wet traction is excellent and they inspire confidence in changing conditions. Steering feels solid and predictable, and the overall ride has a very “OEM-plus” feel — refined, controlled, and comfortable. These tires truly shine for highway miles and daily driving. What really sets them apart is the balance: comfort, durability, and performance all in one. You can tell these are built with quality materials and thoughtful engineering. They're not the cheapest option, but you absolutely get what you pay for — longevity, safety, and peace of mind. If you want a premium all-season tire that delivers a smooth ride, long tread life, and dependable performance, the Defender LTX M/S2 is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Bought my first set of LTX M/S Defenders in 2020. Still had lots of tread at 50K miles 5 years later. They started to get a little louder, but still performed well in dry and wet conditions. All four showed ever so small signs of cracking in the edge touching the rims. Hopefully these LTX M/S2 do as well. Very happy with Michelin tire performance on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland.

I've purchased Michelin tires previously and I've been very pleased with the durability performance and handling. The tires have produced a very smooth ride. Please note the tires I'm reviewing are based on previous purchases not these particular tires.

My 2004 F150 is on its 2nd set. The first set went over 100,000 and my 2nd set has 75,000 and still has good life left. The Michelins are the only replacement tires that balanced out smooth and road very quiet. The long wear is a great bonus! Purchased 2015.

I installed the Defenders back in June 25 and immediately noticed a difference in ride smoothness and noise. Most importantly, I have driven through some heavy rain downpours and found these tires cut through the water like it wasn't even there… I feel very safe having these Defenders on my Ram 1500. Highly recommend them.

I drove 102,000 miles on my previous set, rotated every 10k, pushed them a bit further than I should have, down to 2/32 at best. I will never buy anything other than these tires, just replaced the OEM Bridgestones on my 2021 Grand Cherokee L, 63,000 on those. I'm hoping for 90k to 100k from the Defender M/S2 that I just put on. Anyone saying these tires are loud has vehicle issues. New Michelins compared to the roar from OEM Bridgestone is like the difference between a football stadium when they score, to a night in the Arizona desert.

Back in May of 2019 I purchased a full set of 4 - 235/55R19 Michelin Defender LTX tires for our Ford Flex. I'd always been comfortable with Michelin tires for the quality of their construction and safe handling while driving. I also bought them for their mileage warranty! These came with a 65,000 miles guarentee! As of today Saturday 10/25/2025 my vehicle mileage is 89,497, and when I purchased these tires my mileage was approximately 05/09/2019 was 63,067 leaving a total mileage on the tires is only 26,430. My tires are in need of replacement "NOW", as they're only an 1/8th of an inch or less from reaching the wear indicaters in the tires, and the requiring new tires.
