Tires have excellent response and feel, with comfort.

I was already convinced to buy these tires. This set is better, and handles better than previous set of LTX I had a few years ago, and they performed extremely well. On previous set of tires, on a Yukon, my wife had a 'generator' trailer come off hitch ahead of her, on 6 lane interstate. Between the Michelin tires, Stabilitrak on Yukon and anti-lock brakes, she was able to maneuver from one side of highway to other, multiple times, coming down from 60mph, to avoid the erratic trailer.

Nice quiet ride.

I've had these tires on my F150 for a couple of months now and they are the quietest, smoothest riding tire I have ever owned. My truck is 9 years old and I've gone through 2 sets of tires from another manufacturer in 100,000 kms. With 115,000 km wear warranty on these Michelins, I'm sure I will be replacing the truck long before the tires wear out. The higher load rating is a bonus as I use my truck for towing and hauling about half of the time.

C'mon Michelin.....You can do better!!!

Always enjoyed Michelin tires. An avid fan...Live in So Cal. Have a bought new 2015 Ram 2wd std cab, 6'4" bed truck. Installed a new set (4) of the 275/60-20 Defender LTXs @ 39,241 miles in June 2017...... Excellent handling, very low tire noise at all speeds and outstanding performance in wet weather. Tires have been rotated every 6K to 8K miles in a figure 8 pattern. 90 + % of the total miles are highway miles. Proper air pressure always maintained along with no alignment issues. Tires wearing evenly across the entire tread width.......Now have 71,050 miles on the truck. and a total of 31,809 miles of these Michelins. One of the tires has a center tread depth of 5/32 remaining while the other three have 6/32nds of remaining tread. Surely not going to come close to the 70K mile expected tread life for this tire. Might get 50K to 55K miles.......From other review blogs I have read, pre-mature tread life seems to be a common complaint for this particular Michelin tire, while a very few do get their nearly 70K and over 70K miles.....This means that the rubber compounds mixed during manufacture are not consistently durable enough. More durable compound mixture is needed.....C'mon Michelin. You can do better......I do not want to go with another tire brand.

All around very good tire

I have had these over a year. I own a 15 Honda CRV. The original OEM tires lasted 20k and were bald. The Michelin's have almost 20k on them and they look new. I live in MA and in rain or snow, they exuded confidence. They may not be the best at any one category, but they are a solid performer in all categories. I do rotate my tires every 6k and also check my tire pressure due to New England weather and temp shifts.

Defenders on 2014 GMC Sierra

I needed to replace my stock Good Year Wranglers which I considered good tires at 95K. After careful research I settled on The Michelin Defender LTX M/S and they have exceeded my expectations in the first six weeks of driving. I am mostly highway with a mix of city driving averaging about 400 KM a week in northern Manitoba. The first week I had the tire we had constant wet greasy snow and for the last few weeks a mix of -30 to -10 and intermittent snow. These tires have exceeded my expectations for traction on the snow covered and slippery roads during acceleration cruise and stopping. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride.

Best Tires on the Road

I bought this set of Defender LTX M/S tires last week for my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited. As soon as I started driving the truck with the new tires I couldn't help but notice how much smoother and quieter my ride was. Now this truck already rides like a fine luxury car but the difference these tires make is very noticeable to me. In addition to the comfort improvement you won't find a better tire for wet traction any where. I have owned 5 sets of these tires between my wife's 4Runners and my trucks and truly believe these are the safest and best tires you can buy especially for highway use. They last a long time too. They are not the cheapest but are the best and in the long run the best value for keeping you safe and getting long service from the tires.

Very planted and quiet

Have my Defenders now for just about 3000 miles on a 4Runner. Not the off-road tire, no - but for 99% of my travels, these tires are great. Smooth ride and they feel sure planted. No snow yet .... Rain driving, I didn't feel any risk or anything. They seem to react better when it was wet out. Very Happy with my purchase.

This is a great tire!

I bought these a month or so ago and love the quiet ride and just recently had a 4 hour drive in snow with about an inch or so on the road. They were a champ. Was able to go 50 - 55 mph with no slipping and sliding. was able to pass just about every car on the road with confidence.

Extremely Solid Choice

I am extremely happy with the purchase of these tires. I have a 2wd Sierra 1500 crew cab and had Goodyear wranglers prior. These Michelins are nice and tall and have a great sidewall look. The highway tread pattern looks great and had performed better. The tires are quiet on the highway and feel sturdy overall maybe slightly harder than I was used to however the beef inspires confidence when towing our 4,500 lb. camper as there is no wallow and the generally feels more capable. I would definitely purchase again.
