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, LOUSY ON-LINE REBATE PROCESS

I have been a fan of Michelin LTX tires for my light trucks for many years. The problem is with your rebate process. The on-line process is so cumbersome and riddled with technical roadblocks that many people without high level computer skills will simply NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS! Are you kidding me, how many people actually have a FAX machine at home!

Great value and performance for the price.

The tires were offered for a fair price, which included a military discount. I am very satisfied with the tire's performance and handling. I have only had them for a few months, but have taken a few multi-state trips and the tires handled great on the Interstates.

exellent tires for a long time

This is the 3rd set of this set of tires that I have purchased for this truck. All of them have given me more miles that the warranty will cover and the handling and comfort have always been top notch. I originally purchased them because i was told the noise was very low. This has been true, I hear very little road noise. That's saying a lot because this truck has been driven across the country 3 times.

Great traction great tires.

[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!

Great tire but harder compound and don't grip as well in the rain as the previous model

I have the F rated 35x12.5R22 tires on my 21 Ram 1500. These tires are great, but in hindsight I would have bought the metric equivalent in the E rating. These tires are heavy and stiff, and not as good as the Michelin tires I had on my last Tam. They weren't the 2 series.

My trucks original tires were Goodyear Wrangler. They were all right but these are the best I've had them before in the past. Quiet handling is far better. More durable just overall a much better tire and Canadian made maybe! I am very happy with my Michelin tires!

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!

I hope they'll be good eventually...

I purchased the tires Dec 27 2024 and when they finally arrived had them balanced and installed on January 31st 2025. Very bumpy ride quality after my OEM Goodyears with 88,000 km on them that still gave a very smooth ride. The shop tried to rebalance on Feb 24th and the ride quality is worse now and there's definetly something wrong. I think I'll like them once this is sorted out but lots of hassle and time wasted so far. I read such good reviews I was really expecting better. Also it was interesting these tires were made in Brazil. At this point I'll give the tires 2 stars not knowing if its a bad tire(s) or a bad install and balance. So with that said I want to like them but not yet.
