They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

First accumulating snow in Michigan 2013. From the trip in, to the trip home with new tires; these new LTX m/s made a world of a difference. The sure grip was very noticeable. No where near the slip and slide at stopping or acceleration. Good choice of tires on my Explorer.

I travel in winter in northern Michigan and wanted a more aggressive tire than the touring tires that I had been using. These are rated a little lower in comfort and noise but I needed the traction and was willing to sacrifice a little. Now that I have been driving on them most of the winter, they are providing better traction in mud and snow than I expected. Also, I don't notice any increase in noise or decrease in comfort. I would recommend these for everyone.

A few years back, I kept replacing the tires on my Tahoe every 20-30K miles then a friend told me about Michelin tires. I now have Michelins on all my vehicles not only they ride super in wet or dry conditions but they last upwards of 60K miles. The savings and the security is worth every penny threefold. Thanks Michelin for putting out a product that lasts while giving a great performance and security for my family.

I have 30k on these tires and they wore abnormally down the middle, despite keeping proper air pressure and rotating them. The original LTX M/S2 tires were the best tire I ever owned and what made me a Michelin customer. These new Defenders may look like the old design, but are clearly inferior.

In my family is 3 set my dad has on Sequoia i have on my outback and Xv Crosstreck this tires perform just great for all seasons in snow. Little noisier then some tires i had coming from dealer but performance is so good i don’t really care my dad has 40k on it still looks like brand new i have 30k same results on xv just installed tire rotation every oil change and you good to go

My new LTS M/S tires look much better than the sample picture Michelin has posted. The sidewalls have a nice look and the tread looks better. If these tires get the miles that Michelin claims, and if all the positive reviews I have read are true, than I may be one happy new tire buyer. I will let you all know if I get the 60k+ miles in a few years.

I have bought these same tires for almost ten years and they have been worth every penny, every time. Knowing my wife and children are counting on the tires to perform I spent a little more and get so much more. I don't worry about tire performance with these Michelin LTX M/Ss on my SUV. If you are wondering if it is worth it, go for it.

Loved this product, when I put my first set on my 2003 chevy 2500 the ride was better and much quiter from the old factory tires, now I am on my second set of MS and I love them on my surburband not to mention the last set lasted 90,000 miles Travis in WV
