[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've run Michelin tires before and they were excellent durability and longevity. They gave exceptional road handling and traction in rain and dry conditions. I I ran the last set six years. What more can you ask of a tire. They still had good tread left. I would highly recommend Michelin tires to anyone.

Definitely the Right Tire for My Truck

I just replaced the Defender LTX M/S tires on my truck after 65,000 miles. There was easily adequate tread to take me to 70,000 miles but with winter coming on I decided to take advantage of the sale local Ford dealers were running this fall and put on a new set of Defender LTX MS2 tires. I figured 65,000 miles without a problem means something and the M/S2 tires are supposed to be a bit better across the board. After having the new tires mounted I had a 2-1/2 hour drive home and it felt like I was driving a new truck; the ride was so much smoother and quieter.

Buy them, You Won't Regret - The Best

I own a 2024 Landcruiser and the OEM LXT Trail ties needed replacement. Replaced with the Defender LTX MS/2 and so much better of a tire. So much more stable and controlled ride. The tire is heavier than the LTX Trail and I did see a drop of about 3% in fuel economy - but that is a good trade off for the far superior drive performance.

Great tires

I have used these tires on all my vehicles. Honda Pilot, Lincoln Navigator and just got theses tires on 2025 Toyota tundra. The dealer tires that came with the tundra were only good for 25k. Michelin defenders always lasted 80-85k when properly rotated on time.

Safest, most comfortable ride you can get is with Michelin's on your vehicle.

Have Michelin Defender LTX 2 on our Lincoln Navigator, and Defender 2 on our Ford Explorer Platinum. They are the most comfortable, best handling, with perfect traction in all weather conditions. They handle the most aggressive roads, are extremely durable, and the tread outlasts the warranty by many miles.

Defender LTX

Best tire you can ever purchase for family or any other kind of use. Tire is great in rain, snow and dry weather. Handling is great, breaking awesome, nice and quiet tire. No words to describe how good it is.

Verified Purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased the tires recently and probably still have to break them in. But so far my only concern has been the grip especially this time of year, with these slick roads. I've lost control a few times but 4WD has helped reel some of that traction back in. But they are pretty quiet, and there was an immediate improvement as far as driving on the highway, breaking, and steering etc. Other than the poor winter performance, I felt they provided one of the most comfortable and smoothest driving experiences, initially.
