I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX for my wife's Lincoln today... Wow, What a difference from the OEM Pirelli's that came on it new.. We commented many times about how disappointed we were with all the road noise this Lincoln had.. Little did we know it was the Pirelli's. After two sets of them I wanted to try something else and low and behold, the New Michelin's did the trick. The road noise from the car is sooo much quieter now. I wont be putting Pirelli's back on this car again!

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

I have been buying LTX M/S versions since the early 1990s and have them on most vehicles I own. Just purchased a set today for my Explorer and noticed the difference right away from the Master Craft that were on there when I bought the truck a couple of months ago.

This tire is the best one on the road for me. I have over the years taken this tire way, way off road and often I've pulled 4x4's with more aggressive tires than these out of situations they could not get through on their own. I drive a stock 2013 Ram 1500 4wd and these tires not only take me wherever I want to go but they ride smooth. I often go in sand, snow, mud, rocks, you name it and this tire is gonna get you through. It takes a long steady foot on the accelerator but these tires will find a way to get you through. Love my Michelin Truck Tires.

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

I have been buying Michelin LTX tires for many years now too include the MS/2 version. Without hesitation the LTX MS/2 were the best tires I have ever seen put on a truck. However with the advent of their new Defender series, I can honestly say they are the worst LTX tires they have ever made, they just will not balance out, the more I drive them the more they shake and shimmy. Last pair of LTX MS/2 had 115,000 miles on them, my 2002 Z71 Tahoe... LT285/70/17. The old tires had a better ride than the new tires do, (Defenders)... Shame, time to find another tire and manufacturer, never thought I would be saying that about the LTX Dave

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don't hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

I have had this model tire on every vehicle I have owned. I am on my 5th vehicle and the 4th van / truck. The first and second vehicle was a small passenger car and a small van. These tires last and I not only fully trust them but I get my money's worth.

These tires came as standard equipment on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. At 85,000 miles they needed to be replaced. The folks at the tire dealer thought I was crazy for putting such expensive tires on an older truck, but I told them that I planned to drive it until this set of tires wear out and I would be making money with the more expensive tire.
