Review Summary

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires are generally regarded as high-quality, long-lasting, and reliable all-season tires that provide a smooth, quiet ride and excellent traction in various weather conditions. Many customers report getting over 70,000 miles of use from these tires and praise their performance in rain, snow, and dry conditions. However, a subset of customers have experienced issues with excessive road noise, vibrations, and premature wear, while some felt the ride quality was harsher than expected.

Love'm

Best tires I've ever purchased! I put them on both of my Tacomas and I'm on my second set on my current daily driver. I get close to 100k miles on each set. Yes, I rotate them and run the appropriate tire pressure as scheduled. The handling of my truck in adverse weather is so much better with my Michelin Defender LTX M/S...even in hurricane rain they grip the road while other vehicles are hydroplaning

This is a truck tire, not a luxury tire

I purchased these for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, road noise was persistent over 40 mph, the tires felt relatively unstable at highway speeds, and tracking wasn't linear. These are great truck tires, but I found them unsuitable for a luxury SUV. I returned the Defender LTX M&S 2 tires for a set of CrossClimate2 and am more than pleased.
