Good quality tires

This is the second set I have purchased, the first set was bought for a 2016 Ram which lasted around 90k kms and the second set was for my Current 2022 Ram. These tires are quiet while maintaining good grip on the road.

Great investment!

This is my second set of "Defenders" and I have been and am now very pleased with them. Virtually all characteristics of these tires are excellent and have proven their worth over the years.

5 out of 5 stars review

Tires are great but extremely disappointed in the rebate process. It feels like an empty promise because the upload requirements have proven to be impossible for me to achieve. This will give me pause next time tires are purchased.

Longevity

Excellent tires, got 110k miles on last set. Purchased same tires again this week.Never had a tire go past 90k regardless of manufacturer. Defenders on wife's SUV & also on my 85' van. Highly recommend.

Excellent Tires

This is my third set of these tires. Their performance is excellent, with no noticeable road noise. Handling and traction is very good. I am very satisfied.

Early days but solid performance so far

Tires are on a 2016 F-150 King Ranch. So far they have proved to provide a "softer ride" that what they replaced. Traction under wet conditions (torrential down pour with flooded roads) has been very good, no hydroplaning. I see to be getting improved fuel mileage. Handling was a little vague. It is too early to say anything about durability.

Not a worthy change.

Not an upgrade for the defender ltx ms. I am very disappointed and feel I wasted money. The outer lugs are closed now which changes their capabilities. The compound doesnt hold as well in water and snow/ice. Maybe you will get more miles and on dry pavement they are decent but that isn't what these tires are supposed to be...and at such a price. I won't purchase these again and will find another brand for next tires. I bought online because I had to finance and trusted michelin to not mess up a great tire...these should have a different name...they do not act like ltx ms....not at all. Very disappointed.

Best Winter Tires for Western Canada

The X-Ice tires are just excellent. I've had several sets over the years living in Calgary. The winters here are no joke and these tires are super capable on both snow and ice, they wear nicely and they're super quiet. Can't say I've ever driven a better winter tire.

Exceed my expectations

These came stock on my 22 Tacoma. I'm at almost 3 years on these tires with 65k miles. From the look of them I could definitely go another 15k easily. They have preformed so well in the mid Atlantic region I decided to get them again on a new set of wheels. Quite smooth and fantastic in the rain. I'd recommend them to anyone that doesn't need a offroad tire.

Cuts through rain soaked roads like nothing.

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.
