I've had this tread pattern on several vehicles, and the tires outlast my interest in the vehicle. When trading the vehicle, the tires are a selling point. In this case ( Oct 26 2017) I've removed the factory installed Latitude TourHP from my new 2017 RAV4 Hybrid XLE ( quiet, smooth, appear to be low rolling resistance, but do not appear to be well suited for winter or rainy near freezing weather, despite "M+S" inscription on sidewall) , and replaced with these Defender LTX M&S as an all weather tire. They are great so far, but I get the impression they do not roll as effortlessly as the Latitude Tours. Perhaps they need to be "broken in"?

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 always buy Michelin. I installed a set of these tires on my F-150 December 2016. When it's very cold these tires literally shake my truck as if they are solid, I am talking temperatures in the teens. They ride like that for miles. As the temperatures warm up, they still shake quite a bit until they are driven maybe 20 miles at expressway speeds. At temperatures over 65 degrees, these tires ride smooth as glass, so I know that my vehicle does not have any mechanical issues. I can't stand the vibrations these tires cause, very annoying ride! I more than likely will have to dispose of a brand new set of tire and find something else.

I purchased this very set 7 yrs ago for my '95 Z-71 SLE GMC which has 270,000 plus miles and never been happier with a single set of tires. I have driven these tires for 73,000 miles and still have 3/16 thread left on them. Being the frist owner of this truck (and yes, it is in immaculate condition all original), it has never been off road, but it has been thru some severe snow storms and have passed several trucks when roads have been bad. As far as rain, I've never been more confident in a set of Michelin tires, than these.

My husband bought a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires after getting it install he come to pick me up as he drive there's a loude noise...the ride is much rougher with the Defender tires than The road noise is also higher with the Defender tires. I am disappointed with the Defender poor qualit

Been using Michelins for 35 years. Had to very off the road to avoid a deer and the shoulder had a drop off. The Michelin's came right back onto the road with out pulling back. The safety of the Grandkids I feel is insured by drivving on Michelins. I recommend them every chance I get. Some people don't want to spend the extra money but in the wear factor and milage I save in the long run. One thing,,,,,Rotate them. I do it at 5000 even though recommended at 7500.

I purchased this tire in 2020 shortly after cupping the OEM Firestone Destination Tires with less than 30,000 miles. I sold the Jeep Wrangler in May 2024 with over 101,000 miles on the vehicle. 73,000 of the last miles were on the Michelin Defender LT MS tires purchased in 2020. The tires were still serviceable with 5/32 tread depth remaining.

In 2000 I bought a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe with 9000 miles on the clock. Apparantly the original owner didn't like the original equipment tires that came on the vehicle and had swapped them for a set of Michelins. I liked those tires very much from day one. The ride was excellent. The handling, braking, wet traction, and traction in snow were all very good. That set of tires lasted until 2009, when with about 60,000 miles on them, I figured it was time for a new set. Of course, I put on another set of Michelins. I also put a set on my wife's minivan. She loves them too.

I purchased the LTX M/S for my 2500 Dodge truck and was impressed by the smooth and quiet ride along with the fuel mileage I was getting. I also maintained the tires by rotating and proper air pressure regularly which enable me to achieve 108,000 miles before replacing them. I recommend these tires for all around performance, smooth ride and good mileage.

I love these tires. When I say these tires have superior traction, I've had tires for six months and i driven through mud, wet grass and wet pavement and these tires never loss traction. I love them and I recommend them to anybody who drives a truck! One more thing, these tires make a truck look so good!
