5 out of 5 stars review

I’ve run several sets of these over the years. Quite, good traction, and long wear. ‘‘This is the only tire I will buy for on road use.

Good quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Michelin DEFENDER® LTX M/S 2 from try it sampling. They came right in time for the weather cause my truck was in need of new tires. I feel a lot safer driving around in the rain with these tires. They’re good quality and performance is top tier. I would definitely recommend them.

Great tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires are great, they are really nice premium tires. They make my ride drive so much smoother. They handle really well in many conditions but for me it rains a lot where I live so they especially perform well when its wet. Dry weather conditions the performance is also amazing. I definitely feel like these tires are made to last, whether you are daily commuter or driving long distance, I really feel like these tires excel on the road and are very quiet tires when driving. When turning they are more supportive in maintaining control. They are superior quality tires and I'm super happy with this brand of tires on my SUV. I would highly recommend these tires they are a definite must have on your truck or SUV.

Purchased these Defender LTX M/S2 little over a year ago, for my 2015 Chevy Silverado with 65K miles on the odometer. I have experienced all facets of weather conditions with these tires. Tires ride good for HIGHWAY applications. Tires ride good in the rain, but that is where it ends. Tires are very sloppy in the any amount of snow on the road. The tires are inflated to 35-psi, per Manufacture recommendations. The RIDE QUALITY is absolutely HORRIBLE. The tires ride so HARD that you feel EVERY bump and crevice in the road. Great on the HIGHWAY, but that's it. I have been purchasing Michelin products for 40-years and these are the worse I have ever had. I am very meticulous about products I purchase for my vehicles... safety and handling are always in the forefront. BUT RIDE QUALITY suffers greatly for these tires. Never had to give up on ride quality before, WHY NOW? Now my vehicles has rattles I've never had before! Michelin Team, please help!

Awesome tire

Had these tires replace original Bridgestone Duellers on my 2018 GMC Yukon XL. Great ride, handling and quiet. Original replacement were Toyo Open Country but did not work with my vehicle at all. Tire dealer changed to Michelin after one month and difference was night/day. Definitely worth slight cost premium.

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.
