I debated if I should spend the extra money on Michelin tires for my older Ford Expedition but it's my go to vehicle for trips and inclement weather and only has 45 thousand miles on it. It was worth it---tires give a very smooth and quiet ride and are great in rain. This winter I will put them to the test in the snow and ice on a ski trip.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

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.

My 2015 Escape came equipped with the worst (not Michelin) high performance tires on earth and literally were breaking apart in a short time. I was advised the Defenders were the best and I'm on my 2nd set. I've had Blizzaks on this car, but now that they're worn out, I find the Defenders do the job all seasons in Michigan!

I purchased my Michelin Defender tires for my 2020 Ford Edge a little over a year ago. We had a couple of road trips on the new tires and the Defender gives a very smooth and quiet ride. The Defender LTX tires performed very well through winter as well. I would definitely recommend Michelin Defender LTX tires to anyone in need of tires.

I drive a Ford F250 diesel to Mexico and back each year pulling a 10,000 lb trailer so tires are important. I am into my third set of Defenders which realistically last about 75,000 km before tread wear begins to be an issue for long distance travel. Of the 15,000 km per year I drive the truck, half of it is pulling a trailer. I choose these tires not only because Ford recommends them but also because they give me very good fuel economy even pulling a trailer (17 L/km pulling and 8 L/km not pulling).

I've had these tires on my 2019 Nissan Titan for a couple of years. I don't change them to winter tires in the winter but they work just fine, despite the amount of snow we get. I would prefer if they would have kept the all weather version with the snowflake so I meet all government requirements, even though the all weather wears a little faster.

Last week I had 4 new defender ltx tires mounted and balanced (P265/60r18). About 100 miles later the whole rear end of my truck now shakes like crazy when traveling between 55-60mph. I drove right back and they tell me that my rear 2 tires have "factory defects". I'm having them replaced tomorrow.

I have the Defender LTX M/S on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, replacing LTX MS2 tires that I used for 45,000 miles. The car is driven mostly in Montana where we have a lot of slippery snow packed roads and some black ice. I now have 6,000 miles on the new tire, mostly winter driving so far. The tires handle similarly to the ones they replaced, good handling on dry pavement, noise is not an issue. My complaint is that they do not have as much traction on snow-packed / icy roads as the tires they replaced. I can feel slippage at times and places I've driven for years in several generations of Grand Cherokees. Tires seem hard in cold weather

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your ride.
