I've had Michelin Defenders on my last four trucks and all of them had long life, extremely high tread life, were very durable, towed with each and NEVER left me stranded. As a matter of fact, I've never had a flat or leak with Michelins thus I replace the factory set on my new trucks as soon as I purchase the truck. The comfort of the ride is always improved by the Michelins and peace of mind is guaranteed with every Michelin I've purchased in my life.

These are the only tires I will run on my truck. The last set went almost 80K. There is definitely a sense of pride when I look at these tires, knowing I made the right choice. As a retired professional driver I take tire safety very seriously. I tow a boat and two RVs and the Defenders give me peace of mind.

Installed on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and had terrible vibration and bouncing. Balanced 4 times and last was road force balanced. NO CHANGE!!! Shop replaced and new tires are just as bad. BUYER BEWARE. Shop has tried to make it right but they are the one losing due to bad Michelin tires.

The ride on these tires are rough! not comfortable at all. Very different compared to the original defender ltx m/s which I still have in my wife's car. Bought these tires thinking they were the same.... NOPE not even close. Not to mention they are hard to balance. Need to "road force" balancer to get them right. The only attributes I can say is that they handle pretty good and they are not bad in the rain. BUT since the ride quality is atrocious, then the good not matter no more. Do yourself a favor and go get some Continentals.

Replaced the OEM LTX Trail tires on my 2024 Land Cruiser with only 35K miles - horrible tread life on the Trails. The MS/2 is a far more stable and better handling tire that looks better too in my opinion. Mileage dropped some because the MS/2 is a heavier XL rated tire, with a more aggressive tread design and better traction.

Michelin tires are hard to beat, I just put the Defender LTX M/S2 on 2024 Ford Expedition...butter smooth and has performed great in the summer time thunderstorms / interstate travel. Over the years, I've had several sets from the LTX family on SUVs and Pick-ups...just can't say enough about them.

Buying 2nd time, Perfect!

excellent tires,

I bought the Defender LTX to replace a set of XLT A/S for my GMC Sierra that were 10 years old but still had great tread left on them. If I get the same level of wear on these new ones, I will be very happy. Michelin has never let me down.

Had them before on my wifes QX80, then went with another tire the last time. I came back to these this time. they run quiet, they did great for my wife in both the rain and the snow. They also lasted really close to their general rated amount.
