I have been running this series of your tires on 2 different vehicles' for over 20 years and have nothing but praise for them. There has just not been any failing grade at any point. Thank you for continuing this product without changing to be better like so many products and in actual fact end up give the customer a inferior product . Keep your quality, IF IT'S NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT.

Excellent tread wear, last set went 80,500 miles.

Excellent replacement tire of the same prior Defender LTX M/S model which lasted 80,500 with no service issues. Tires ride great, are quiet, and have excellent traction. Unfortunately, the manufacture date on the tires is 4423 which means the 44th week of 2023, so the new tires were actually 2 and one half years past their manufacture date when sold and installed.

What a remarkable difference

Really quite comfortable tires. It feels like I put slippers on my truck. The original tires hydroplaned and had poor traction. Not these they are great. The truck handles so much better.

Great tire, great look

Purchased a set of Defender LTXms yesterday for my 2019 F150 4x4 and couldn't be happier. I've had them on other vehicles, on the Wifes Outback now, and never have been disappointed. I mainly highway drive and occasional pull a 3k lb camper and these just work. The drive home was smooth and quiet and they look awesome!

Worth the extra cost

Purchased Defender LTX M/S for my 2016 Highlander in September, 2019. After 30,000 miles, I highly recommend. Great in snow, wet, dry conditions. Very secure on the road. Quiet! Low rolling friction which has increased gas mileage by 1 to 1 1/2 mpg. I expect to get 70K + tread wear.

Best light truck and SUV all-terrain tire

I have found the best light truck and SUV all-terrain of all time. I will be happy After I get our 5th set installed next week. Long lasting. Great traction wet, dry, and snow. They are worth the money for peace of mind. Quiet ride. Once you get about 3 years on any tire they start to get loud, hard, and slick tread. The defender ltx ms2 do not.

When Excellence is your only option

I have been an Undercarriage Specialist for a number of years. I've worked for several major tire companies and a few new car dealerships. I've been involved in the design of custom off-road and race track suspensions. I understand the geometry and physics of achieving maximum performance from a tire. Most importantly, I've experienced the quality and performance of many brands of tires. From my early years as a Front End Alignment mechanic, I noticed the Michelin Tire presented the least amount of problems and failures, and always has. In the long run, Michelin is the most inexpensive form of safety and reliability I could purchase.

This is a truck tire, not a luxury tire

I purchased these for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, road noise was persistent over 40 mph, the tires felt relatively unstable at highway speeds, and tracking wasn't linear. These are great truck tires, but I found them unsuitable for a luxury SUV. I returned the Defender LTX M&S 2 tires for a set of CrossClimate2 and am more than pleased.

Shrinkflation

Manufactured with far less tread depth compared to the LTX M/S. And further sold as a benefit to mileage ect. This seems to be the classic percentile grab directly from your pocket. I have always purchased Michelin tires for towing and was very pleased with the LTX M/S durability, wear, mileage, noise. Why sell as a premium tire and give less for the money?

Tires don't last

The tires have a 70 thousand mile warranty. I bought the tires in May of 2023 but the review form makes me put the purchase date within a year of the review date becuase they don't want people giving a real review of the tires. I only have 30,000 miles on the truck and the tires are going bald already. I drive mostly highway with some city driving, buts its all on paved roads and never offroad.
