Michelin Defender 2

I wabted Cross Climate but were told that they could not get these without my paying for shipping. Love that my last set if 4 Defender S lasted 60,000 miles on West Virginia roads and performed well in winter and wet conditions.

The best SUV tires for all-around driving and traction

These tires have lasted 95,000 miles. I am going to get the same new tires put on my Expedition. Great driving, great grip - in all conditions. The best that is out there for SUV driving.

Better than my older Michelin LTX M/S

I enjoy driving my safer Lincoln Mark LT after installing New Defender LTX Truck Tires last month. My truck drives like it is brand new again! These are the only truck tires I would ever buy!

Floating on a Cloud

I bought my new tire a few weeks ago. Had an opportunity to do a long highway drive. It was like I was floating a cloud. Much better ride than the factory OEM.

Beware

Took my vehicle in to Goodyear service center to diagnose a thumping sound driving at any speed. They determined the tires were cupping at 45,000 miles. These tires have a 70,000 mile warranty. I rotated them every time I had my synthetic oil changed at Walmart, which is more than three months and usually 9000 miles. so basically, the warranty is voided. I never had any problems with Michelin latitudes. Those were awesome- no cupping, no problems. It's unfortunate that I spent $245 per tire on these defenders and they perform so poorly.

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

AWESOME TIRES

This is my 5 set of the LTX M/S on my 2007 Ridgeline with 485,000 kilometers on it. averaging close to 100K a set with 55 to 60 % hard gravel driving. I was never a Michelin fan until this tire came with the truck. I now wont run anything else at least on the Ridgeline. Carry the load rating nicely and I have only had 1 unexpected flat since the truck was new.

Smooth and quiet

On the drive home from the shop I could tell these are my favorite all season tires I have ever owned. There are quieter than I had hoped for, but I was surprised how much smoother the drive was, something I had not noticed in similar range tires that I have owned. The last time I felt the tires made a big difference was we with X-Ice tires.

Built to last

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.
