Excellent Tires

This is my third set of these tires. Their performance is excellent, with no noticeable road noise. Handling and traction is very good. I am very satisfied.

Tires are great but extremely disappointed in the rebate process. It feels like an empty promise because the upload requirements have proven to be impossible for me to achieve. This will give me pause next time tires are purchased.

Low traction

These are highway tires and do NOT have very much traction. Less than 100 miles and the tires have a slight wobble like a tire blister or tread separation.

Durable

This is my second set of Defenders. One set on Rav 4, reduced cabin noise by 50%. The other set on my F 150, now on the 5th year. Will be getting new Defenders this spring.

Quiet and durable SUV tires

Great tires. We have had several sets of these on multiple cars. Used for highway driving, light offroad and towing. Never an issue. Rotate every 5000 miles and keep at air pressure spec. Always last beyond rated mileage.

Great tire for the F150

Just replaced these with a new set. Great tire, excellent mileage and the ride is smooth. Great in dry and wet conditions ( we don't get snow here, so cannot attest to their performance)

Exceed my expectations

These came stock on my 22 Tacoma. I'm at almost 3 years on these tires with 65k miles. From the look of them I could definitely go another 15k easily. They have preformed so well in the mid Atlantic region I decided to get them again on a new set of wheels. Quite smooth and fantastic in the rain. I'd recommend them to anyone that doesn't need a offroad tire.

Best Tire Money can Buy

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.

Quiet, firm and grip like hell

Michelin has never let me down after 55 years of buying their tires. I purchased the Defender LTX M/S2 tires for my 1500 series pickup truck because I wanted good traction on wet slippery roads when I travel. These tires are quiet and the sidewalls are firm enough to help my truck stay level in curves. They blend perfectly with my air-ride suspension. I feel safe with these tires.

Noisy!. Beware.

I've been buying Michelin tires for as long as I can remember. Always had good luck with them. But this new Defender LTX m/s2 Tire is so hard and it creates a rumble/road whine in my truck, especially on Country Blacktop roads. I got a 2024 truck that I'm really proud of but these tires are probably the worst michelins I've ever owned. The dealer said I can swap them but in my size 275-60-20 there's nothing to choose from but a more aggressive tire( no way). I'm hesitant to switch brands but I may have to do that at a dear cost to my pocketbook. ( Dealer has said he would swap tires out for another Michelin but they dont make my size in less aggressive tires as they have really pulled back on choices).Shame on you Michelin for leaving this tire size absent on your other popular quiet tires and making such a hard tire just to get higher lingevity ratings!
