Quiet, efficient, good looking tires mostly for on-road service. Comfortable on the od good grip and low noise. Thread is strong and long lasting. However, shoulders are fragile and easy to puncture (non repairable) or get bumps. That's why I'd suggest to stick to the paved roads only.

These are not winter tires, these are not meant to replace winter tires BUT if you are like me and rock all seasons all year long- these are the tires you’re looking for. This past winter (in a pickup truck) I was able to slowly crawl down a slippery mountain road, I passed by over a dozen cars pulled over, 3 accidents, and watched someone lose control and graze the guardrail. I drove slowly and with extreme caution- but these tires never slipped once.

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.

We recently replaced the OEM tires that came on our 2020 F150 with Michelin’s defender ltx m/s 2’s. I was looking for a tire that did everything well with emphasis on performance in snow and on slick roads while being comfortable and QUIET. Literally everyone I spoke to and everything I read about these tires talked about how quiet and comfortable they were. Our truck currently has between 50 and 60 thousand miles on it and we have less than 2,000 miles on the Defender’s, I can say without hesitation these tires are not as quiet as what we took off. If I had it to do over I would put the OEM tires back on.

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 .

bought the tires as a replacement for my 2019 Toyota? Tundra, 4 wheel drive tires are fantastic in the snow. Tires are very smooth. I used a decimal meter to compare the noise level with the previous set of tires. I had and they are quiet as a mouse plan to enjoy these tires for the next eighty thousand miles

I heard the name "Michelin Man" decades ago. My first introduction to car safety came from seeing a blowout at high speed. A man who rebuilt a big-block in my Mustang explained that the best tires are Michelin. Decades later, a microburst dropped a record 19 inches of rain per hour on I-45. I could see the rooster tail of the water my tires pumped out of the way as I moved forward. Countless vehicles around me went off the road. Many were hurt, two died, and I was shaken. And the ride is quieter, more comfortable, and always gets me where I am going. So, yeah, you can call me a Michelin Man!

Just couldn’t say enough. Paying a little bit more money upfront means a huge return later on down the road so to speak. My Michelin defender ones lasted 70,000 miles and we’re showing slight signs of cracking. The traction was still very good and if I had to, I could’ve pushed it another year. I had them rotated and balanced once about 40,000 miles ago, we’ve been across the country twice and I tow regularly. Just doubled down on a good thing then purchased the defender twos. Best of the best in my opinion. If there had to be one complaint with the first tire would be that it picked up small rocks on gravel surfaces. A very small price to pay, Along with the cost for this type of quality. The quiet, the ride quality, limited body roll, etc. I put them on my dad‘s car, on my wife’s Prius and on our work truck. Don’t get me started lol! I’ll never buy another brand of car tire again.

I was very disappointed with these tires. They were noisy, rode roughly, and couldn't be balanced correctly. Luckily my dealer took them off and switched them to Toyo tires. There's no comparison! My dealer told me that Michelin tires are going down in quality. I hated to hear that as I'd always been a loyal customer.

2018 4Runner do not buy these tires if you are looking for curb appeal. These tires are as plain jane, no cool factor or attitude at all. But they are quiet, smooth & responsive. I have driven in mud snow rain, no problem. I would say overall this tire checks 99.9% of what you want out of a tire. The toyota avalon of tires lol not pretty buy super solid
