Best LT tire ever

This is honestly the best LT truck tire ever. My most recent set lasted over 90K miles without losing any performance at all. They cost slightly more then the competition but last twice as long so when I finally needed to replace them I didn't even consider buying another tire.

Outstanding tire at 225k miles

On my 06 Honda Ridgeline, these tires were OEM and lasted +100k miles. Since then I've replaced them with two more sets of non-Michelin tires and have hated them every mile. Now, at 225k miles, I've gone back to the Michelin tire and love them. I'd forgotten how quite good tires should be. They give me fantastic wet-road performance. Haven't yet been in the snow yet, but if they perform like my original tires, they'll be great. My advice, spend the extra for these tires. They're worth every penny.

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

Excellent quality tire

I am a recently retired Fleet Manager with 40 years managing a large municipal fleet including Fire and Emergency Services vehicles and in my career Michelin has always been my number one choice for all on road units. The quality of the defender tire no only provides an excellent ride on my truck but also great tread wear which equals long life and economical operation costs.

Expedition's new Defender LLTX M/S

I replaced all 4 tires on my Expedition with new Defenders LTX. I now have a smooth ride with no road noise. It even seems as if handling of the curves has improved. The tires hug the road whether it's wet or dry. I can always confide in Michelins to keep us safe on the road.

Best light truck and SUV all-terrain tire

I have found the best light truck and SUV all-terrain of all time. I will be happy After I get our 5th set installed next week. Long lasting. Great traction wet, dry, and snow. They are worth the money for peace of mind. Quiet ride. Once you get about 3 years on any tire they start to get loud, hard, and slick tread. The defender ltx ms2 do not.

They work in Warmer months

Have previously bought Michelin tires because they are pretty durable, the traction is decent and they're comfortable The handle isn't as great on my truck so I may need to look at different brands but they do work and get the job done in the summer months. But when the winter comes I have to make sure that I have a year-round tire with really good tread

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.

tire noise

i have run other sets of michelin tires and have been satisfied with each one. these tires have a roar at all speeds and at less than 400 miles. i have never had tires that roared and don't think that i would buy another set of this tire. it may not be a big deal, but i don't like noise in my vehicle it really isn't right to rate the tire with less than 400 miles. my only problem is the roar. michelin is a good brand and i feel like i will continue to buy your product.
