Great tires!

I have 105,000 mi on these tires and am going in for a new set. These tires are amazing on my F150 that I haul trailers and boats with. I will buy them every time!

Reliable tires

Love these tires second set I’ve had on this vehicle. I’ve always bought Michelin tires for all my vehicles. They are reliable and they stand behind their product.

Top of the heap

I had the same Michelin tire on for 40K miles. I was ready for a new set although the old ones only showed slight wear. Michelin is the only brand I will used.

Very happy with my purchase

Wet traction and water displacement is very good. Quiet and very stable at all speeds. Snow traction was a very big surprise. Had some very snowy weather this year and had no issues.

Excellent Product

I have a Ford F150 King Ranch, and I bought this truck with 40K miles and the original tires. I now have 111,000 miles on it and still have tread left. Winter is around the corner, and I figured its time, so I have just bought a new set of the exact same tires and am expecting them to last another 100K+ miles. These tires are the best ever!! <3 my tires:)

BRING BACK THE LTX MS IN A 20 INCH TIRE

I have always been a Michelin fan, especially of the LTXMX2 tires. Bought a new GMC SIERRA SLT X31 in June 2025, took off the Bridgestones dueler tires from factory. put on the newest version of the Defender ms2 tires, and they ride the same but I will say they do not handle snow very well. The outside tread no longer has the same sipe as the past tires. They still make the LTX JX2 tires but not in 20 inch options, they need to bring these back. If not I will have to ex-ore another brand.

Great ride!

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is a strong all-season tire that delivers a quiet, comfortable ride with excellent traction in both dry and wet conditions. It’s known for long tread life, stable handling, and dependable braking, making it a great choice for daily driving, highway miles, and light weather. While it’s not built for heavy off-roading or deep snow, it performs reliably in most everyday situations. Overall, it’s a high-quality, durable tire that offers strong value and confidence on the road.

Quiet and durable !

I replaced my original Bridgestone Dueler tires om my 21 Ford Ranger with these as I had two sets on a previous F150. They are so good in rain, and moderate snow that I sometimes don't even use four wheel drive until hitting the deep unloved areas . They are quieter and grip quite well even in heavy rain storms ! My third set, so plenty of confidence in handling and treadlife .
