Confidence in any weather

245/65/R17 Second set in 10 years through some crazy winters. Working for a snow removal company I needed to be at work and Defender LTX always made that possible! Excellent tire and worth every penny!

I Don't think i would purchase michelin, these tires were warranty for 70k miles and they worn out sooner. They were rotated every 5k miles. and they still worn out sooner 55k miles.

Good tire at a good price

I really like these tires. I had these on my last pickup before I traded it in and they ride nice. Very quiet and are great in rain! I ended up with 60k miles on mine before o traded truck and they still weren't at the tread depth warning

Great tires

I bought the truck new this is the tire that was on it, I love them, they handle great, not that much noise and hold to the conners great. No other compares. in my opinion.

Working fine

So far, so good. Only 3000 miles on them, but holding up well. They are working fine on the 2019 Ram 3500. Worked well cornering and pulling our 36’ 5th wheel through the mountains.

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.

Hulk, there could be a contributing factor to the wear on the tires. We recommend to take the vehicle to an authorized retailer in your area for an inspection. Utilize our Dealer Locator to find dealers in your area. Give us a call once the tires have been inspected and we will contact the dealer and get their findings to determine next steps.

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?

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Thanks for the honest feedback. Sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your tires, so we totally get your frustration. The Defender LTX M/S is designed for long-lasting traction, but performance can vary depending on wear, road conditions, and vehicle setup. We’d recommend having a local dealer take a look to see what’s going on. And if you want to chat with us directly, feel free to call 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) —we’re happy to help!

Expensive but good for the value

I've had the Michelin Defender tires (Defender T+H for my sedan; LTX M/S for my SUV) on two different vehicles, and both sets impressed me right out of the gate. The first thing you notice is how quiet they are - road noise dropped immediately compared to my old set. Ride comfort also improved, especially on long highway drives. The grip is excellent in dry and wet conditions. Even during heavy rain, I felt in control, with minimal hydroplaning. Handling feels solid and predictable, especially on curvy roads. They're not cheap - but with the long life and consistent performance, they're more of an investment than a splurge. That said, if you don't plan to keep your vehicle long, cheaper tires might make more sense. The installation process was easy, it was just dropped off to the mechanic.
