The best Tire ever

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are thick, robust and resistant tires...! Even though I just installed them and can't give you mileage or longevity yet, I am impressed with these tires. I have used them for 1 month and we have seen heavy rain, no hydroplaning, snow and ice storms, no slippage and mainly ground grip on hilly descents. They have behaved quite well in the elements. They also run very smooth and quiet, and I feel like my vehicle handles quite well with these tires. I drive frequently so it's only been 1 month but I've already put about 1000 miles on them and have no complaints. I'll add it to my review when I've gotten a little more use out of them and update their performance at that time. So far, so good. If you are looking for a good set, I tell you not to be indecisive, play it safe with Michelin tires, buy these. I am convinced that these tires will prove their worth for a long time... and I will buy again if/when necessary...! There are many tires, many cheaper, but the quality and price of a good tire, you can't go wrong.

Great tires but slightly under predecessor

I purchased these tires after 6 years and 30k miles on my Michelin Defender LTX M/S. I was a little leery with the UTQG Traction rating dropping to B from the previous A but with tread life listed similarly and great previous performance, I gave them a shot. I've driven 2,500 miles before posting the review. The M/S2 are fantastic on dry pavement and dissipate water very well. Unfortunately, around 35 F they become noticeably harder and break free much easier on cold or wet pavement compared to the previous M/S. With that, my initial assumption is that they have worse performance but herein lies the paradox. While they don't seem great getting moving and break free easy on acceleration, they seem hold true and stop well once in motion. Snow performance is similar to the aforementioned, but again cornering is fairly steady until acceleration is applied. The truck will still go where it's intended, but with considerably more wheel spin than the previous M/S in 2H. MPG appears to be comparable between the 113T SL M/S and 117T XL M/S2. Both ride quiet and have good feel when braking. They have a good look but not overly aggressive and don't pick up too many rocks. I would 100% recommend these for those who rarely experience snow or cold but would probably stick to swapping these out for Michelin Ice X for the cooler or snow filled months or plan to use full time AWD and the possibility of reduced tread life due to the additional slipping.

Great set of tires

Had them before on my wifes QX80, then went with another tire the last time. I came back to these this time. they run quiet, they did great for my wife in both the rain and the snow. They also lasted really close to their general rated amount.

Smooth as butter!!

Smooth and quiet!! I replaced a set of original factory tires on my Chevy Tahoe, what a difference! I immediately noticed the quieter ride with much less road noise and less shock over bumps in the road. Will see how they do in the long run.

Great tire for Trucks

I purchased these tires based on consumer reviews of comfort handling, durability and treadwear, I have had them in the past and they were a terrific tire for my truck (Ram 2500) I was more than pleased with the tires.

Road noise

I'm very happy with the quality of the tire but I feel I choose the wrong model for my truck. It's very loud on the road , I'm very unhappy with the tires .

Can't Be Beat

There simply isn't a better handling tire in all climates! This is my 6th or 7th set of these tires on three different trucks since the year 2001!

These are so fire

I have a 2024 Rivian R1T, and these tires came stock with the truck. These tires are genuinely phenomenal. I really, really like driving in them. I have 22-in rims on my car, and I mean they ride so well even though the wheel is just huge
