2016 Ford F250

I recently purchased a set of these Defender LTX M/S2 tires for my F250. Tire size is LT275/65R18. They replaced a set of off road tires that were loud and made for a harsher than normal ride. I've always been a fan of Michelin tires on my trucks but I think these are the best tires I've ever bought. The change is ride quality and noise is nothing less than remarkable. The ride on my truck is much smoother and now it sounds like the interior of a luxury sedan rather than a truck. The truck pulled very slightly to the right with the old tires but the Michelins solved that problem. They look good, they ride good and they're very quiet on the highway (where my truck is used nearly exclusively). I was reluctant to spend so much for tires but I'm very happy I did. Highly recommended.

Good tire, but very hard ride

I now have approx. 40,000 miles on a set of these. They are in all respects very good tires. The wear seems to be as expected, they are great on wet highways and relatively quiet although as all Michelins do, they seem to be getting noisier as they wear. What I don't like is they are as hard as rocks and with every pothole or manhole it feels like the front of the truck is getting torn off. I had the Primacy's prior to these and for us, they were a much better tire. I don't do a lot of heavy hauling and would prefer the softer ride. I think I'll be going back to the Primacy in the future.

Great Tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tires!! They work perfectly for any surface, mud, rainy, gravel, etc. The tires fit like a glove and when you drive it feels smooth and easy to drive with. I have no complaints at all. I would totally recommend.

Quiet, comfortable and confidence inspiring

I just had these tires and they have excellent ride quality. I switched from Bridgestone Dueler HL tires which only lasted about 32k miles, but they rode very well. With the heft and XL rating of the Michelin tires I was worried that they would ride harder, but those fears were quickly proven wrong. Also, my first time driving on these tires was in the rain and the tires were excellent and confidence inspiring. I love that these also come with an extra 2/32 of tread compared to the standard LTX tire. I purchased the 275/55/r20 113T size tire.

Amazing Tires

Comfortable, quiet, and stable. I install tires for a living and this is the most popular tire that my shop sells for large SUVs and pickup trucks. I finally decided to try them for myself and they are the best tires I have ever had on my truck. They have incredible my fuel economy by a little over half a mile per gallon and the comfort it unmatched.

Great on my Tundra

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased a new to me 2020 Toyota Tundra and was wanting to put new tires on it so went with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2. Now I live in Texas and have had them for about 6 weeks of up and down weather. From 80 degrees and windy/rain to near zero driving in snow. These have held up tremendously in all of these weather conditions. The traction these get is superb and makes for a smooth ride. Ride noise is minimal if that is a priority for you. Turning corners in them is also great. Overall these are tires I highly recommend!

love these tires!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am female, and dont know a whole of technical stuff about tires, but I do know I am really happy to have these tires for my Tahoe. they seem to make the drive quieter and when we hit a slick patch of road while driving in very cold temps the tires dug in and we did not skid. made me feel very safe. a big plus-they look very cool on my Tahoe, and after driving on them for a several weeks the still look brand new.

Like the tires so far

Tires are very quiet and smooth running. Any increase or decrease in mileage is yet to be determined. I bought these for extra load rating for towing a 5th wheel trailer. I am at this time experiencing death wobble and I am hoping the tires are not a contributing factor as I only have 19,000 miles on the truck.

Great Tires

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 has very good grip cornering and is very quiet for a tire that has an aggressive tread design. I have only owned the tires for 4 hours but I have already put the tires on several tests, including cornering and stopping. I am very satisfied with these tires, as I have been with other Michelin tires purchased over the past 20 or so years.

Not smooth, not quiet, but very capable

This is a nice truck tire, but it is a truck tire. I can feel every bump and seam on the highway. It's noisy and unrefined, so I suppose this is a truck tire. I puchased a set for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator and the tires removed the luxury aspect of the vehicle. Thanks to Michelin's ride satisfaction promise, I was able to exchange the Defender LTX M/S2 for a set of CrossClimate2 SUV tires. The ride quality and noise is like night and day. Moving from a Highway All-Season (LTX) to a Grand Touring AS (CrossClimate) was the answer. I would not buy the LTX again for a luxury vehicle.
