These tires are amazing. I replaced my OE Bridgestone Dueler Alena H/L after 40k due to wear. Mind you, I monitor air pressure and rotate regularly and even though most of the miles were highway, the definitely needed replacing. I was a bit skeptical because of the more aggressive tread on the Michelin tires, but I've had Michelins on my other vehicles, and so I went ahead and rolled the dice. Man am I happy I did! These tires are not only quiet, but they have a certain confident feel on the road and a responsiveness that I never had out of my Bridgestone tires. Shortly after taking the vehicle out of the shop I hit the highway and the feel can only be described as riding on glass. I haven't had an opportunity to feel them in the rain, but based on the reviews I'd read prior to purchasing the tires-I'm confident that these tires will continue to perform. I'd 100% recommend these tires to anyone especially for a truck or SUV. Quiet, comfortable, and responsive. Thanks Michelin!

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.

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 has very good grip cornering and is very quiet for a tire that has an aggressive tread design. I have only owned the tires for 4 hours but I have already put the tires on several tests, including cornering and stopping. I am very satisfied with these tires, as I have been with other Michelin tires purchased over the past 20 or so years.

absolutely the right choice for my style driving. haven't been able to check any MS features but no doubt in my mind I will be totally satisfied with them. on the road, quiet, smooth riding, just a hint of whine but nothing to be upset about when you can barely hear them.

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.

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.

I've been buying Michelin tires for as long as I can remember. Always had good luck with them. But this new Defender LTX m/s2 Tire is so hard and it creates a rumble/road whine in my truck, especially on Country Blacktop roads. I got a 2024 truck that I'm really proud of but these tires are probably the worst michelins I've ever owned. The dealer said I can swap them but in my size 275-60-20 there's nothing to choose from but a more aggressive tire( no way). I'm hesitant to switch brands but I may have to do that at a dear cost to my pocketbook. ( Dealer has said he would swap tires out for another Michelin but they dont make my size in less aggressive tires as they have really pulled back on choices).Shame on you Michelin for leaving this tire size absent on your other popular quiet tires and making such a hard tire just to get higher lingevity ratings!

This is the 3rd set of this set of tires that I have purchased for this truck. All of them have given me more miles that the warranty will cover and the handling and comfort have always been top notch. I originally purchased them because i was told the noise was very low. This has been true, I hear very little road noise. That's saying a lot because this truck has been driven across the country 3 times.

for me your sure with Michelin , the durability is 120,000 km for sure if you perform tire rotation ,on a regular base , handling is very nice , no road noise at ALL. traction good year a round , performance better on fuel by 1.5 liter to / 100 km, use less

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.
