- 5 out of 5 stars review9/21/2025I purchased four Defender LTX as research showed they are one of the quietest tires available for a light truck. They truly are. I do a fair amount of highway trips and these tires are amazingly quiet. If you are looking for a good looking quiet tire, you won’t go wrong with the Defender LTX.
Quiet
James31Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/13/2025I have a lifted Ford F150 and I had a big mud tires and it was a ROUGH and LOUD ride. I had the Michelin Defenders installed today and it’s like a completely different truck. It rides SO MUCH better and quiet it’s hard to believe. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but these tires are truly amazing and deserve a five star review.
Amazing tires
Ford F150Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/20/2025My trucks original tires were Goodyear Wrangler. They were all right but these are the best I've had them before in the past. Quiet handling is far better. More durable just overall a much better tire and Canadian made maybe! I am very happy with my Michelin tires!BigOriginally posted onmichelinman.com
- 5 out of 5 stars review12/9/2025I've purchased Michelin tires previously and I've been very pleased with the durability performance and handling. The tires have produced a very smooth ride. Please note the tires I'm reviewing are based on previous purchases not these particular tires.
New tires prior customer
RubbermeetsroadOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 2 out of 5 stars review10/9/2025I regret purchasing these tires. Their ride is too hard and noisy. There is excess molding process flaps of rubber on two tires which should have been trimmed off at the factory. The Latitude Touring HP is a much better choice for a 2018 Lexus GX 460. I fell ill and didn't have the opportunity to ask for other tires within the Michelin allotted time period.
Not recommended for a luxury suv.
markOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/1/2025I have been a fan of Michelin LTX tires for my light trucks for many years. The problem is with your rebate process. The on-line process is so cumbersome and riddled with technical roadblocks that many people without high level computer skills will simply NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS! Are you kidding me, how many people actually have a FAX machine at home!
Great tires, LOUSY ON-LINE REBATE PROCESS
CRZY8Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/2/2025The 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.
Great ride!
mike47Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/16/2025Bought 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.
Very good tires for Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
RCOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/30/2025I 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 th...
Loved the 1st set, have no doubt I'll love the new ones just as much
RichardROriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/31/2025Great 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...
Best ever all around performance, period.
PatriotPeteOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 2 out of 5 stars review10/20/2025I’ve driven about 30,000 miles on these tires, and while tread life and traction are excellent, the noise is absolutely unbearable. From day one, the road noise has been loud, droning, and constant — it doesn’t matter if I’m on a smooth highway, backroad, or city street. The sound fills the cabin and never stops. They’ve worn evenly and still have tons of tread left, but I honestly can’t take it anymore. Nobody wants to ride with me and it gives my daughter instant headaches. For a tire that’s marketed as quiet, this has been the complete opposite experience.
