My truck was sold new with Bridgestone tires. I couldn't wait to get them off and get my Michelin Defenders put on. The ride is noticeably better. I'm a lifetime Michelin tire owner on all of my trucks. When I was 21 years old, I had a sidewall blowout with another brand of tires and was seriously injured. Ever since I've been using Michelin or Goodyear tires only. I prefer Michelins for my trucks, but Goodyear is equivalent in my estimation for passenger cars. The noise is less with Michelins and seem to last longer. Handling and traction are good.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Michelin line of tires since they have always done well for me. These Defender tires are no exception- perfect combination of value and durability. Perfect for what my family requires in the rainy yucky seasons of Louisiana!

Tires are very quiet and smooth running. Any increase or decrease in mileage is yet to be determined. I bought these for extra load rating for towing a 5th wheel trailer. I am at this time experiencing death wobble and I am hoping the tires are not a contributing factor as I only have 19,000 miles on the truck.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My mom swears by these tires and now I know why! They have the best smooth, quiet ride and give my car great traction. Big improvement over original factory tires. They seem to last longer too in her experience. I’m still new so time will tell for my set. It’s the only brand and line she’s been using for years on multiple cars

I am 7 years into the 2018 Defender LTX M/S, and am getting the Defender LTX M/S 2 this month. This tire far exceeds all others in every genre that can be reviewed. I drive a 1999 4Runner SR5, and have attempted to "get stuck", but have never been in such a predicament with these. Even with very worn tires, we were in the backcountry in the Black Hills, SD and it climbed right out. Excellent performance in midwest winters, and the smoothest handling and noise control you'll get. Worth the splurge on any vehicle.

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 had the passenger Defenders on three SUVs and I couldn't have been happier with them. They did well in all conditions and lasted forever. I put the Defender LTX on my 2023 Tundra, replacing Nitto Ridge Grapplers that were ridiculous on the highway over any distance, and the Defender LTX exhibit higher than expected levels of noise and poor performance on wet roads. Price wasn't really a consideration if I got great tires, but these have been a disappointment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super excited to finally be able to try out my new Defender® LTX M/S2 tires! They are super! Just had them installed and I am very impressed by the smooth ride and how they handle the streets with such ease. Definitely going to continue to purchase products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was in the market for new tires and had been comparing different brands and styles. The Michelin Defender had everything I was looking for in a set of new wheels. The tires are very well made, strong and sturdy and most importantly, they make me feel safe on the road. These tires provide a smooth ride on the highway and are rugged enough for our back country roads. The tread wear life is impressive and I feel for the life and wear and tear of these tires, that they are a good investment. I like the deep tread pattern and noticed during the rainstorm that the tires gripped the road and they are weather proofed very well. I felt safe during all of my recent commutes.
