[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.

GREAT RIDE AND SAVED ON ROADSIDE INS FOR FREE

I’m ver pleased with the purchased on 4 tires and the great experience with my appointment and staff. All very friendly and my bonus was getting a 4 year roadside assistance included with my purchase saving me money from my auto insurance. I have great confidence in this brand for 20 years I have used because of the stability ride in rain or shine they have been very dependable. I definitely recommend to anyone wanting a smooth ride. Thank you for the great benefit Sam’s Club.

One heck of a fantastic tire!

Mitch defender LTX MS2 A 75000 mile warranty. WOW!! The tread dept is totally awesome....The old bias ply L series tire is where you might come close to this tread depth. Instantly noticed a smoother ride and a lot more stability. Railroad tracks were lots better. Stopping distance is much shorter than with my previous tires.

Michelin Defender M/S2

Bought this tire to replace the Firestone Destination LE3 on my 2020 Toyota Tacoma. Only had them for a couple of weeks, so I don't have many miles on them yet, but looking forward to rain and/or snow this year. This tire appears to ride smoother. It is the highest rate tire for my Tacoma on Tire Rack. The price at Sam's Club was the same as Tire Rack also.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the tires themselves are great. wonderful in the snow and everything. they look very nice, all good, great quality so far at the 6 month mark. the experience with walmart tire center was a bit of a headache, but with time and persistent, they got it figured out just fine. i would have liked not to waste those 4 hours, but all is well that ends well and i got a great price on the tires themselves

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.
