I installed the Defenders back in June 25 and immediately noticed a difference in ride smoothness and noise. Most importantly, I have driven through some heavy rain downpours and found these tires cut through the water like it wasn’t even there… I feel very safe having these Defenders on my Ram 1500. Highly recommend them.

I purchased four Defender LTX as research showed they are one of the quietest tires available for a light truck. They truly are. I do a fair amount of highway trips and these tires are amazingly quiet. If you are looking for a good looking quiet tire, you won’t go wrong with the Defender LTX.

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.

absolutely the right choice for my style driving. haven't been able to check any MS features but no doubt in my mind I will be totally satisfied with them. on the road, quiet, smooth riding, just a hint of whine but nothing to be upset about when you can barely hear them.

My trucks original tires were Goodyear Wrangler. They were all right but these are the best I've had them before in the past. Quiet handling is far better. More durable just overall a much better tire and Canadian made maybe! I am very happy with my Michelin tires!

I HAVE BEEN A MICHELIN CUSTOMER FOR YEARS AND HAVE HAD MANY SETS OF DEFENDER LTX TIRES . ALWAYS PLEASED WITH THE RIDE AND COMFORT OF THE TIRES. THIS IS MY FIRST SET OF DEFENDER LTX M/S 2'S. TIRES CAN'T BE BALANCED AND LOPE WHEN DRIVING. DEALER HAS SAID THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO. IF I CAN'T GET ANY RESOLUTION FROM MICHELIN I WILL TAKE THEM OFF AFTER ONLY 5000 MILES OF USE AND SWITCH TO COOPER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THESE NEW 2 SERIES TIRES. HELP MICHELIN AS I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR DECADES.

These tires are amazing. I replaced my OE Bridgestone Dueler Alena H/L after 40k due to wear. Mind you, I monitor air pressure and rotate regularly and even though most of the miles were highway, the definitely needed replacing. I was a bit skeptical because of the more aggressive tread on the Michelin tires, but I’ve had Michelins on my other vehicles, and so I went ahead and rolled the dice. Man am I happy I did! These tires are not only quiet, but they have a certain confident feel on the road and a responsiveness that I never had out of my Bridgestone tires. Shortly after taking the vehicle out of the shop I hit the highway and the feel can only be described as riding on glass. I haven’t had an opportunity to feel them in the rain, but based on the reviews I’d read prior to purchasing the tires-I’m confident that these tires will continue to perform. I’d 100% recommend these tires to anyone especially for a truck or SUV. Quiet, comfortable, and responsive. Thanks Michelin!

I’ve driven about 30,000 miles on these tires, and while tread life and traction are excellent, the noise is absolutely unbearable. From day one, the road noise has been loud, droning, and constant — it doesn’t matter if I’m on a smooth highway, backroad, or city street. The sound fills the cabin and never stops. They’ve worn evenly and still have tons of tread left, but I honestly can’t take it anymore. Nobody wants to ride with me and it gives my daughter instant headaches. For a tire that’s marketed as quiet, this has been the complete opposite experience.

I’ve used Michelin tires for probably 40 years. I have never had any problems with them. I’m getting old now and my last set of tires aged out and still had more than half of the tread left. Bought a new complete set of the same type of (Michelin Defenders) tires. I suspect these will be my last set before I have to turn in my drivers license as I will be very close to 90 years old by then.

The tires were offered for a fair price, which included a military discount. I am very satisfied with the tire's performance and handling. I have only had them for a few months, but have taken a few multi-state trips and the tires handled great on the Interstates.
