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.

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!

Tie noise

The Michelin Defenders 265 50r 20 tires on my 2014 jeep grand cherokee make a lot of noise. I am really disappointed with that part of the tire. I have been using Michelin tires on my vehicles for over 20 years and will continue to do so. Help me out Michelin what is going on with the noisy ti

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?

Good braking but a little more noise than normal

I love Michelin tires and have always been pleased with them. I purchased these and traded them for a different Michelin because they made a lot of noise when I was driving on the highway. It may have been a defective tire in the mix, it was hard to tell. The service department traded them out for me. The tires did brake well and handled well in the rain.

Defender LTX M/S

Michelin customer since early 1980's. Use Michelin tires on all my vehicles,including motorcycle. Could always make a purchase being confident in the quality of the tires. July 6,2017 purchased new Defender LTX M/S to replace the LTX AT tires that had 55000 miles on them. The AT tires performed excellently. Change to Defender since I only drive on road. Have driven just over 500 miles on new tires and can't believe these are Michelin tires. Road noise is terrible,smoothness of ride ridiculously poor. Old tires at 55000 out performed these. 2 Hr.Highway ride with wife and she commented on the poor ride. Would not recommend these tires.

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.

Vibration is an issue

I always buy Michelin. I installed a set of these tires on my F-150 December 2016. When it's very cold these tires literally shake my truck as if they are solid, I am talking temperatures in the teens. They ride like that for miles. As the temperatures warm up, they still shake quite a bit until they are driven maybe 20 miles at expressway speeds. At temperatures over 65 degrees, these tires ride smooth as glass, so I know that my vehicle does not have any mechanical issues. I can't stand the vibrations these tires cause, very annoying ride! I more than likely will have to dispose of a brand new set of tire and find something else.
