Best price and service.

Great tires and effortless scheduling. Even had to change dates and they accommodated me the next day on Sunday! Less than an hour to install four new tires. Also …. Best price in town by over $300.00!!

Buy them, You Won't Regret - The Best

I own a 2024 Landcruiser and the OEM LXT Trail ties needed replacement. Replaced with the Defender LTX MS/2 and so much better of a tire. So much more stable and controlled ride. The tire is heavier than the LTX Trail and I did see a drop of about 3% in fuel economy - but that is a good trade off for the far superior drive performance.

New M/S 2 not as plush as originals (NOT RECOMMENDED)

The ride on these tires are rough! not comfortable at all. Very different compared to the original defender ltx m/s which I still have in my wife's car. Bought these tires thinking they were the same.... NOPE not even close. Not to mention they are hard to balance. Need to "road force" balancer to get them right. The only attributes I can say is that they handle pretty good and they are not bad in the rain. BUT since the ride quality is atrocious, then the good not matter no more. Do yourself a favor and go get some Continentals.

Great Performance!

Michelin tires are hard to beat, I just put the Defender LTX M/S2 on 2024 Ford Expedition...butter smooth and has performed great in the summer time thunderstorms / interstate travel. Over the years, I've had several sets from the LTX family on SUVs and Pick-ups...just can't say enough about them.

DO NOT BUY

Installed on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and had terrible vibration and bouncing. Balanced 4 times and last was road force balanced. NO CHANGE!!! Shop replaced and new tires are just as bad. BUYER BEWARE. Shop has tried to make it right but they are the one losing due to bad Michelin tires.

Peace of Mind

These are the only tires I will run on my truck. The last set went almost 80K. There is definitely a sense of pride when I look at these tires, knowing I made the right choice. As a retired professional driver I take tire safety very seriously. I tow a boat and two RVs and the Defenders give me peace of mind.

Good replacement for OEM tires on new Land Cruisers - Far Better

Replaced the OEM LTX Trail tires on my 2024 Land Cruiser with only 35K miles - horrible tread life on the Trails. The MS/2 is a far more stable and better handling tire that looks better too in my opinion. Mileage dropped some because the MS/2 is a heavier XL rated tire, with a more aggressive tread design and better traction.

Michelin or nothing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows Michelin is top tier. Even though my previous Michelin tire developed a small leak, nothing is perfect. My family in business rely on the tires on my truck everyday.
