Amazing tires

I have a lifted Ford F150 and I had a big mud tires and it was a ROUGH and LOUD ride. I had the Michelin Defenders installed today and it's like a completely different truck. It rides SO MUCH better and quiet it's hard to believe. I don't write a lot of reviews, but these tires are truly amazing and deserve a five star review.

Loved the 1st set, have no doubt I'll love the new ones just as much

I put the Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee when the stock Goodyear Forteras wore out and didn't even make it to 30,000 miles. I put over 90,000 miles on those Michelins and they still had about 3 or 4 thousand more miles left in them. Those things were amazing given my driving habits. I have a lead foot, I corner hard, brake hard, and I travel at speeds I won't mention. I still can't believe I got so many miles out of them. I even hit a pothole so bad, it bent my rim, but the tire had zero damage. Just got the newer M/S2 version. So far, I'm just as pleased. Quiet and comfortable, but seem to handle a bit better. One of the most important things I liked about the originals was the ability to avoid hydroplaning on the highway, which is a must in South Florida. They maintained consistent performance in wet weather through most of it's treadwear life, only diminishing slightly in the last couple thousand miles. The previous Goodyears were never as good, and even scary after 25,000 miles on them. I haven't had a chance to go through heavy downpours yet, but I assume these newer generation Michelins will be just as good, if not better than previous set. If I find anything not as good as the originals, I'll update. For now, I'm very happy and I better be for the price I paid. Lol. Seriously though, when you factor in the performance and longevity, these tires are actually cheaper than comparable tires in the long run.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Tire – Smooth, Quiet, and Built to Last

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Tire – Smooth, Quiet, and Built to Last I couldn't be happier with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires. From the moment they were installed, the ride quality was noticeably smoother and quieter than anything I've run before. Highway driving is exceptionally stable and comfortable, even on long trips, and road noise is minimal. Wet traction is excellent and they inspire confidence in changing conditions. Steering feels solid and predictable, and the overall ride has a very “OEM-plus” feel — refined, controlled, and comfortable. These tires truly shine for highway miles and daily driving. What really sets them apart is the balance: comfort, durability, and performance all in one. You can tell these are built with quality materials and thoughtful engineering. They're not the cheapest option, but you absolutely get what you pay for — longevity, safety, and peace of mind. If you want a premium all-season tire that delivers a smooth ride, long tread life, and dependable performance, the Defender LTX M/S2 is worth every penny. Highly recommended.

Lots of Lost mileage!

Back in May of 2019 I purchased a full set of 4 - 235/55R19 Michelin Defender LTX tires for our Ford Flex. I'd always been comfortable with Michelin tires for the quality of their construction and safe handling while driving. I also bought them for their mileage warranty! These came with a 65,000 miles guarentee! As of today Saturday 10/25/2025 my vehicle mileage is 89,497, and when I purchased these tires my mileage was approximately 05/09/2019 was 63,067 leaving a total mileage on the tires is only 26,430. My tires are in need of replacement "NOW", as they're only an 1/8th of an inch or less from reaching the wear indicaters in the tires, and the requiring new tires.

BRING BACK THE LTX MS IN A 20 INCH TIRE

I have always been a Michelin fan, especially of the LTXMX2 tires. Bought a new GMC SIERRA SLT X31 in June 2025, took off the Bridgestones dueler tires from factory. put on the newest version of the Defender ms2 tires, and they ride the same but I will say they do not handle snow very well. The outside tread no longer has the same sipe as the past tires. They still make the LTX JX2 tires but not in 20 inch options, they need to bring these back. If not I will have to ex-ore another brand.

Very disappointed. Returned them.

I was very disappointed with these tires. They were noisy, rode roughly, and couldn't be balanced correctly. Luckily my dealer took them off and switched them to Toyo tires. There's no comparison! My dealer told me that Michelin tires are going down in quality. I hated to hear that as I'd always been a loyal customer.

Michelin Tires Are The Best (Period).

Michelin is the only tires I buy for our personal vehicles. Overall traction is great, and I feel safe during rainy day driving. Treadwear performance is excellent, and I have always accumulated at least 40,000 miles on every set of Michelin tires I have owned. I especially appreciate the comfort and handling they provide while driving my 4-wheel drive RAM pickup.

New tires prior customer

I've purchased Michelin tires previously and I've been very pleased with the durability performance and handling. The tires have produced a very smooth ride. Please note the tires I'm reviewing are based on previous purchases not these particular tires.

Excellent Product

I have a Ford F150 King Ranch, and I bought this truck with 40K miles and the original tires. I now have 111,000 miles on it and still have tread left. Winter is around the corner, and I figured its time, so I have just bought a new set of the exact same tires and am expecting them to last another 100K+ miles. These tires are the best ever!! <3 my tires:)

Best You Can Put on Your Pickup

My 2004 F150 is on its 2nd set. The first set went over 100,000 and my 2nd set has 75,000 and still has good life left. The Michelins are the only replacement tires that balanced out smooth and road very quiet. The long wear is a great bonus! Purchased 2015.
