When asked, 83% of reviewers recommend this tire
Customers overwhelmingly praise these tires for exceptional durability and long tread life, with many reporting 80,000 to over 115,000 miles per set. Reviewers consistently highlight excellent all-weather traction in rain, snow, and gravel, plus a smooth, quiet ride that reduces road noise significantly. Many are repeat buyers citing reliable performance and wear patterns that justify the investment. A small number report occasional road noise or lower-than-expected tread life, but these concerns are vastly outweighed by widespread satisfaction and strong recommendations.

Super quiet and great ride qualities
I replaced my original tires with Michelin tires. It's my first choice for years. Very nice brand of tires! the a Durable, quiet, and handle great. I always buy Michelin.
Very smooth ride on rough roads. Passengers ask me if I had put new shocks on, but it was the Defender LTX M/S Tires. It unbelievable the difference they made. We love them.
I think these are the best tires made for a light pickup. I have ran them for many years on all of my trucks. After they are installed it's unbelievable the difference in the feel and handling when you leave the tire store. They last a long time. Treadwear is greeeeaaaat !
Good tires on Ram 2500 but no stability on a Jeep Gladiator will not use them on my Jeep any longer shakes over every road expansion joint and uneven pavement, was the wrong choice
Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.
XL = Extra Load
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 15" diameter tire on a 15.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
T-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 |
| Load Capacity (% of max.) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 | 124 | 130 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 |
| Load Capacity (% of max.) | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
