Great tire for Durango rt

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems very good. Good deep tread, very smooth ride. No leaks. Drove home in a rain storm, felt confident. Expensive but worth it

Michelin Defender

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] they are a great tire. yes they aren't the cheapest but i've bought other tires for this vehicle and they didn't ride as well and got worse gas mileage as the Michelin Defender. so i'll stick with the Michelin for this vehicle.

Good in the snow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live in Wisconsin and drive a 2021 Grand Cherokee. We have had some really foul weather so far this winter and I must say these tires have met my expectations. The times that it has snowed I have felt very confident while driving and breaking. I'll even play a little game with myself to see how well they do before turning on the 4x4 and I gotta say they do really well. I recommend these to anyone that lives in a place where there is snow.

Definitely the Right Tire for My Truck

I just replaced the Defender LTX M/S tires on my truck after 65,000 miles. There was easily adequate tread to take me to 70,000 miles but with winter coming on I decided to take advantage of the sale local Ford dealers were running this fall and put on a new set of Defender LTX MS2 tires. I figured 65,000 miles without a problem means something and the M/S2 tires are supposed to be a bit better across the board. After having the new tires mounted I had a 2-1/2 hour drive home and it felt like I was driving a new truck; the ride was so much smoother and quieter.

Buy them, You Won't Regret - The Best

I own a 2024 Landcruiser and the OEM LXT Trail ties needed replacement. Replaced with the Defender LTX MS/2 and so much better of a tire. So much more stable and controlled ride. The tire is heavier than the LTX Trail and I did see a drop of about 3% in fuel economy - but that is a good trade off for the far superior drive performance.

Great tires

I have used these tires on all my vehicles. Honda Pilot, Lincoln Navigator and just got theses tires on 2025 Toyota tundra. The dealer tires that came with the tundra were only good for 25k. Michelin defenders always lasted 80-85k when properly rotated on time.

New M/S 2 not as plush as originals (NOT RECOMMENDED)

The ride on these tires are rough! not comfortable at all. Very different compared to the original defender ltx m/s which I still have in my wife's car. Bought these tires thinking they were the same.... NOPE not even close. Not to mention they are hard to balance. Need to "road force" balancer to get them right. The only attributes I can say is that they handle pretty good and they are not bad in the rain. BUT since the ride quality is atrocious, then the good not matter no more. Do yourself a favor and go get some Continentals.

DO NOT BUY

Installed on 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 and had terrible vibration and bouncing. Balanced 4 times and last was road force balanced. NO CHANGE!!! Shop replaced and new tires are just as bad. BUYER BEWARE. Shop has tried to make it right but they are the one losing due to bad Michelin tires.
