ALWAYS PREFER MICHELIN TIRES, TRADED OEM'S OUT AND NOW I HAVE REAL ROUND TIRES. VERY SMOOTH AND ENJOY THE IMPROVED HANDLING. A BIT HARD ON ROUGH ROADS BUT SMOOTH AS CAN BE ON THE GOOD ONES. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THEY HANDLE AN UPCOMING ROAD TRIP THROUGH VARIES CONDITIONS.

Bought in the winter in Canada. Handled the snow and ice with ease. Little bit of slipping here and there but acted like a regular winter tire. I was really impressed. Very quiet and responsive. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend. They look sharpe as well and the side wall always stays black.

We listened to our trusty mechanic and bought Defenders for our 2014 F150. My daughter reports they are quiet and smooth as promised. The unexpected bonus was the white lettering. It's a small detail that I love and was a little worried I'd have t give up. We had a nail puncture but is fixed now. I hope they last a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My all time favorite tires for my truck is Michelin tires.The Michelin Defender LTX M/S is by far the best quality tires of all time.They are the perfection of durability and I highly recommend these Michelin tires.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this these tires and put them on my husband’s truck last month. The tires were quiet and smooth on the road, and even on gravel/dirt. We took them out in the rain, and had no problems. Haven’t had them long enough to inspect any tread-related issues, but confident the tread will hold up over time based on the quality material construction. .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Defender® LTX M/S2 are a great set of tires. My husband was very happy to receive these to put on his truck. They are a very high quality tire, easy smooth ride. Also work well off road. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of product.

I purchased these tires after 6 years and 30k miles on my Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I was a little leery with the UTQG Traction rating dropping to B from the previous A but with tread life listed similarly and great previous performance, I gave them a shot. I've driven 2,500 miles before posting the review. The M/S2 are fantastic on dry pavement and dissipate water very well. Unfortunately, around 35 F they become noticeably harder and break free much easier on cold or wet pavement compared to the previous M/S. With that, my initial assumption is that they have worse performance but herein lies the paradox. While they don't seem great getting moving and break free easy on acceleration, they seem hold true and stop well once in motion. Snow performance is similar to the aforementioned, but again cornering is fairly steady until acceleration is applied. The truck will still go where it's intended, but with considerably more wheel spin than the previous M/S in 2H. MPG appears to be comparable between the 113T SL M/S and 117T XL M/S2. Both ride quiet and have good feel when braking. They have a good look but not overly aggressive and don't pick up too many rocks. I would 100% recommend these for those who rarely experience snow or cold but would probably stick to swapping these out for Michelin Ice X for the cooler or snow filled months or plan to use full time AWD and the possibility of reduced tread life due to the additional slipping.

I've run through two sets of the original Defender LTX M/S, and they were nice and smooth. No problems. Now that they're discontinued, went with the M/S2. Two had to be replaced for high road force. They do NOT ride as smooth as the originals. Bounce and shudder. Very disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend these Michelin tires. In January 2024, I replaced tires on my GMC Sierra 1500 with the Michelin Defender tires. I could tell a difference right away. My truck rides smoother, is much quieter, and handles so much better. An added bonus is my improved gas mileage. I will never buy another brand of tires again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Michelin tires are top notch and really go the extra mile. Long lasting with great traction. Delivered excellent grip for shorter braking distance on wet roads. Black side walls, overall well made and good quality long lasting tires!
