Great 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.

Michelin Defender Set of tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the market for new tires and had been comparing different brands and styles. The Michelin Defender had everything I was looking for in a set of new wheels. The tires are very well made, strong and sturdy and most importantly, they make me feel safe on the road. These tires provide a smooth ride on the highway and are rugged enough for our back country roads. The tread wear life is impressive and I feel for the life and wear and tear of these tires, that they are a good investment. I like the deep tread pattern and noticed during the rainstorm that the tires gripped the road and they are weather proofed very well. I felt safe during all of my recent commutes.

Great Tires But Rock Slingers

Great Tires, Handled really well when I was plowing snow. Theyre ok in muddy conditions. The only problem is theyre rock slingers. Its constantly throwing rocks and you can hear them from inside the cab when they hit the body. If you go a lot to places where its dirt roads get another pair of tires

Very nice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires are so nice on my vehicle! They definitely feel luxury compared to the thin cheap tires I was driving before. They seem like they will be very durable long-term and I would definitely recommend them to anybody looking for tires, as they seem perfect.

Listen to your mechanic

We listened to our trusty mechanic and bought Defenders for our 2014 F150. My daughter reports they are quiet and smooth as promised. The unexpected bonus was the white lettering. It's a small detail that I love and was a little worried I'd have t give up. We had a nail puncture but is fixed now. I hope they last a while.

Not as good as the original LTX Defender

I was hoping these tires were as good as the previous ones, but I was wrong. These tires are louder and seem to inhibit more road vibration. I have had them balanced again but they still have an issue. The previous LTX Defenders I had were smooth had hardly any road noise and felt more sure footed. This comparison is after the 50 or 60k miles I had on the old ones, up until the day I swapped them out. I don't know who they paid to design these tires but I would hope they get rid of them and find the old team that designed the previous generation tire. The only thing I can say that is about the same is the gas mileage. So I will give a 1 star for at least keeping one aspect of the tire the same. Please get back to being the Michelin brand that used to mean something. I will definitely save my money next time and get a different brand at half the price, it surely couldn't be any worse.

NICE TO BE CONFIDENT

ALWAYS PREFER MICHELIN TIRES, TRADED OEM'S OUT AND NOW I HAVE REAL ROUND TIRES. VERY SMOOTH AND ENJOY THE IMPROVED HANDLING. A BIT HARD ON ROUGH ROADS BUT SMOOTH AS CAN BE ON THE GOOD ONES. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THEY HANDLE AN UPCOMING ROAD TRIP THROUGH VARIES CONDITIONS.

Great tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires are great, they are really nice premium tires. They make my ride drive so much smoother. They handle really well in many conditions but for me it rains a lot where I live so they especially perform well when its wet. Dry weather conditions the performance is also amazing. I definitely feel like these tires are made to last, whether you are daily commuter or driving long distance, I really feel like these tires excel on the road and are very quiet tires when driving. When turning they are more supportive in maintaining control. They are superior quality tires and I'm super happy with this brand of tires on my SUV. I would highly recommend these tires they are a definite must have on your truck or SUV.
