Best light truck tire on the market!

When ordering a new GMC, I read as many tire reviews as I could find. The Michelin Defender LTX M/S generation 2 was receiving rave reviews. After a lifetime of burning through all brands of tires on a variety of sports cars, trucks and passenger cars, experience has taught me to stick with Michelin. And these new Gen 2 offerings were the best performing truck tire for the road, bar none. They also had the best warranty. They are more than adequate for light off roading and boat ramps, but on the road are the smoothest and quietest tires I hae had on any truck. I’ve run everything, from road tires to All Terrains to Mud tires, even installing non radial tires on a swamp buggy I owned. (Safer when airing down for very rugged conditions off road-Florida is 90% sugar sand and like 10% mud, so All Terrains and M/S tires generally do better on most conditions. The ride after installing thee tires is WAY better than any others I’ve used. The tires are so quiet I initially was hesitant while towing. But the traction is excellent off road with the sipes on the side and the generally self cleaning tread. More importantly, handling in bad weather and wet braking are all excellent. High speed travel on the interstate is very quiet and composed, just like a passenger cars tire. The occasional road trash and a couple poorly laid curbs and damaged asphalt have caused no damage, as the tires stayed in balance and showed no punctures or cuts. I do make a point of rotating every oil change an remove any stuck gravel or debris every time I wash the truck. I have automotive engineers in the family who advise running 80% of the max pressure on the sidewall and this has yielded very long tread life. I have absolutely no complaints and when my youngest son returns from college I will be putting Defenders on his Nissan as well. These tires cost a little more than average but give you much longer tread life and superior handling and braking. There are many good tires on the market but Michelin generally excels in every category for most people. When in doubt, just get Michelin. There is a reason why my company only used Michelin on the truck fleet when I was i the trades. This particular model is another win for Michelin.

Not happy

Not happy with these tires way too much weight they use 5 1/2 half ounces or more. Took it back they just moved them from the inside. The inside rim truck has a vibration now it didn’t help by moving the weights to a different place from the inside rim to the outside would not recommend this tire vibration of seats are shaking was not like this before about the tires had original tires bought the truck new Has never been wrecked. Wheels are not bent just poor quality tire they’re telling me this is normal.

Not worth the money

Was excited to try out some Michelin tires on my Yukon. Went for an oil change and a tire rotation other day, mechanic told me he couldn’t rotate them because they were completely wore out!!! And it would not pass MVI!!! I went with the defenders because it had the best rating, unfortunately for the amount of money I paid I got half the life span out of them compared to the Bridgestone I had on it before, sometimes the reviews get it wrong, definitely did in my case, they were wore out after a year with next to no mileage and would not keep air.

Does a great job at a reasonable price

On a large SUV or truck all that I care about is tire grip and ability to stop quickly. These tires are definitely an upgrade in both those things for a reasonable price.

Tire

Great price when purchased. So thankful for the warranty. Got a nail in sidewall. Had to replace tire. Only $40. So much cheaper than buying another tire. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

Best truck tires

Best longest lasting tires I have ever bought. After 7 years and well over 70,000 miles, I replaced them. Not because they were worn out, but because of age. I highly recommend. Bought the same ones!

Spend the money and get the best!

These are very quiet tires and that's what I needed most on my Ram 1500 crew cab truck. The warranty is 70,000 miles, which is a bonus. Michelin quality, in my opinion, is second to none.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 Tires

All four tires had almost 1.5 years shelf life. I want more recently manufactured tires. I will monitor closely and demand my 70K Michelin tire warranty be honored. You're on notice Walmart!
