On the drive home from the shop I could tell these are my favorite all season tires I have ever owned. There are quieter than I had hoped for, but I was surprised how much smoother the drive was, something I had not noticed in similar range tires that I have owned. The last time I felt the tires made a big difference was we with X-Ice tires.

Bought these tires about 2 weeks ago for my Toyota Tacoma (2001). 265/75 R16! My truck rides so much smoother now and the tires are really quiet! The steering is easier too! We had a couple of hard rains here and the tires were great in it! They seem to grip the road so much better now (dry pavement)! Now if they last as long as stated, you must buy these tires!

Michelin devotee for 30 years. Put these on my F250 truck to replace previous LTX/MS tires since these were no longer available and the new Defender line was touted as soooo much better. Immediately these tires shook my vehicle as though they were unbalanced. I had them rechecked for and they were properly balanced. Secondly, these tires also vibrate on paved roads as if they were knobby style tires or if the lug nuts were loose. They make it seem as though something is wrong with my vehicle.I hate these tires and now I'm stuck with them. I have less than 1000 miles on them.Not up to the quality of what Michelin has previously stood for.

I run these tires on my Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 Cummins Quad Cab. It's my second set now , I get about 80,000 km's out of them now and I'm just looking here to see size options as I'm going to need to replace them before the snow flys. I have considered other tires but in the end I'm not prepared to put up with any tire noise or ride issues. These Defenders are amazing, quiet, smooth, accurate, great traction in wet, snow, mud. Just need to find a dealer that can get me a good price as they are expensive but they are worth it for sure. My truck was stock with 265-70-17, but I have been running 285-70-17 with amazing results, my truck when not pulling a trailer will get 10.2 Lphkm, about 29 mpg at 110 kph.

I only buy Michelin tires as they are proven to be the best, I have been a faithful Michelin tire owner for many years, and however, my latest Michelin purchase I am not happy with. My MPG has dipped 3 to 4 miles per gallon since I put these tires on. These were the most expensive tires they had at the store and I was told the best Michelin tires they had, so I was quick to purchase thinking I couldn't go wrong. Well, that's is not the case. While the tires give a smooth, quiet ride, the reduction in gas millage leaves me more than disappointed. The original brand tires the vehicle came with gave me much better millage and those were worn out

I bought the Defender LTX 265/70R16 for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner to replace the LTX M/S2 that had 72,000 miles. I found the newer Defender LTX quieter than I expected and quieter than the older design LTX M/S2. I was not expecting that from a few of the reviews which indicated noise. All I hear now are wind noise, or engine noise if I accelerate, no tire noise. I am wondering if tire balance or other issues caused some reviewers to experience noise. I tested my new Defender LTX at all speeds up to 70 mph and especially in the 65 - 68 mph range where I typically see a balance issue the most if there is one, and these are well balanced tires.

Defender LTX M/S are outstanding*. Ride, comfort, grip, handling & braking are outstanding. Noise reduced exponentially. Other Michelins & brands may start out this strongly but based on previous experience & research, these Defender LTX M/S tires will** surpass all, certainly most all others. Name a better tire? I'll buy it! *More driving time of course, in various weather and road conditions, and at varying or higher speeds for longer duration is needed to establish baseline to test limits, etc. **Defender research shows some manufacturing problems Michelin must resolve. I want & expect less risk, more certainty. Michelin can do it!

I have been driving and buying tires for over 50 yrs and these LTX M/S are by far the smoooothest riding tires I ever had. I could feel the difference in 2 blocks. I only have 200 miles on them so I have to wait and see how they last. I only give them 4 stars because I just bought them. They are NOT cheap but I think they will be worth it.

Tires are great , perform excellent no issues , I would bye another set

These tires lasted 100,000 miles on my last jeep.
