I had the original Michelin LTX MS and now have about 500 miles on the new Defender LTX MS. I think Michelin really got it right with the whole design of this tire. The original LTX is a great beloved tire. It provides good all season traction, a smooth quiet ride and decent tread life. I see the difference to the LTX MS2 and the Defender LTX I am driving is mostly in the outer shoulder block tread design. Its not open so water and slush can evacuate more easily. I like this idea. So far I love the new Defender. My only advice to Michelin and keep a decent tread depth on your tires. For an SUV or truck 11/32 should be the minimum.

I have used the defender tires for years on my vehicles and love them in every way. Bought a chev pu and the tires were still good, but did not like them and had to replace with these defender tires , could not wait the other tires were loud and did not drive as nice. I will only use michelin tires. My spouse does think it makes that much difference but it does.

My first set of Michelins ( I am 62 yrs old ) Defender LTX M/S. Everything was great around town and local roads. Then I took a trip to Los Angeles. The rain grooves cut in the freeway caused this model tire to wander and follow the grooves. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was constant steering wheel adjustments. I guess the wrong tire for my truck.

I bought these tires for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are by far the best tires I have ever owned. They are a 5 star in every category. They ride like a dream and are super smooth and quiet. The traction in the rain is phenomenal. Absolutely no hydroplaning. They grip the road and don't budge no matter how wet the road is. I am more than anxious for the snow so I can see how they handle in snow. I average 75 - 80 mph and they just glide. No bumpy ride and definitely not noisy. I love these tires! Worth every penny!

I bought these tires (LT265/75R16) several years ago for my Nissan Frontier after the factory originals wore out after about 40K miles. I currently have almost 100K miles on these and they are just now telling me that I need to think about replacing them. I am planning on keeping my truck (only 140K miles on it) so I am looking for the same model tire.

The Michelin Defender LTX are great quality tires and have a luxury ride. I have purchased my second set of these tires. The first set had almost 100,000 miles on them and still were in usable condition. I highly recommend these tires for high mileage and smooth ride.

Don't know how,don't know why....but I can't get these tires to last. I've used nothing but since buying my Ridgeline in 2006. Seems right after I get a new tire, it finds a new nail. My wife and I both travel the same roads ( we work at same place just different shifts ) different brand,no problems

I've had problems with two sets of these. Both wore out way too quickly. The first set was on my Wife's Toyota Sequoia and the 2nd on my GMC Yukon. I put 12k miles on these and they are down to 5/32nds. I plan to take my pro-rated warranty and buy a different brand once they reach 4/32. I used to swear by these tires and this brand, but not anymore.

Purchased my 2016 F150 Lariat with what I thought were the best 275 55/R20 LTX M/S2 and only have 33k miles. Need Replace. Nice even wear, Rotated every 5K Miles, would Like to replace with same or equivalent (if and only If) I can pro rate. Please contact me ASAP Im Keeping this truck for many more years, I have reciepts of rotation but not filled out book pg 23-25 as Ford dealer Never Gave it to me. ;<{

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.
