Very good tires for Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland

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.

Best ever all around performance, period.

Great all around performance from these Defender LTX M/S2 tires. As always, Michelin tires are always the best choice in all categories that matter. They consistently deliver excellent traction, handling and comfort all while providing the longest durability I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been driving for well over fifty years and almost all of those have been on Michelin tires. When purchasing new vehicles which are not factory equipped with Michelin tires, I’ve seen the performance from other manufacturers drop off significantly. In those cases I’ve opted to replace those tires over to Michelin’s at the earliest possible time. I only choose Michelin tires for all of my family vehicles because they have always been the best performing brand I’ve ever experienced.

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.

Loved the 1st set, have no doubt I'll love the new ones just as much

I put the Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee when the stock Goodyear Forteras wore out and didn't even make it to 30,000 miles. I put over 90,000 miles on those Michelins and they still had about 3 or 4 thousand more miles left in them. Those things were amazing given my driving habits. I have a lead foot, I corner hard, brake hard, and I travel at speeds I won't mention. I still can't believe I got so many miles out of them. I even hit a pothole so bad, it bent my rim, but the tire had zero damage. Just got the newer M/S2 version. So far, I'm just as pleased. Quiet and comfortable, but seem to handle a bit better. One of the most important things I liked about the originals was the ability to avoid hydroplaning on the highway, which is a must in South Florida. They maintained consistent performance in wet weather through most of it's treadwear life, only diminishing slightly in the last couple thousand miles. The previous Goodyears were never as good, and even scary after 25,000 miles on them. I haven't had a chance to go through heavy downpours yet, but I assume these newer generation Michelins will be just as good, if not better than previous set. If I find anything not as good as the originals, I'll update. For now, I'm very happy and I better be for the price I paid. Lol. Seriously though, when you factor in the performance and longevity, these tires are actually cheaper than comparable tires in the long run.

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:)

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.
