Very disappointed. Returned them.
I was very disappointed with these tires. They were noisy, rode roughly, and couldn't be balanced correctly. Luckily my dealer took them off and switched them to Toyo tires. There's no comparison! My dealer told me that Michelin tires are going down in quality. I hated to hear that as I'd always been a loyal customer.

LTX MS2 has changed, expect Road Noise
I have purchased 6 sets of Michelin LTX MS tires, the last 3 sets are the newer Defender LTX MS2 version. I have no complaints with ride quality or performance, but the new versions have no had the same tread wear longevity, and the last 2 sets are much louder than they used to be. I first noticed it 6 months ago replacing a different brand with Michelins on an FJ Cruiser, but confirmed when replacing older MS2s with new ones today. Tire noise appeared instantly after install. Frequency and volume both become obvious approaching 50mph and after. Very disappointing change from what were the best tires I’ve ever had in 50 years. Not sure I can live with these.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your long loyalty to Michelin. We’re glad the Defender LTX M/S2 tires have met your expectations for ride quality and performance, but we’re sorry to hear about your concerns with increased road noise and tread life. We recommend having the tires checked by an authorized Michelin retailer to confirm proper inflation, alignment and installation. Our Consumer Care team would also be happy to discuss with you. Our number is 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Quiet!
Quietest ride of all tires! Very little road noise on all type surfaces
Quiet Tires
I changed from Goodyear to Michelin, and I’m very happy. I have high expectations for them, especially low noise levels, which I now have. I’ve put over 1200 miles on them in less than a week (mostly highway miles), and I’m happy! I’m expected them to better in snow too, time will tell. Costco was excellent for the purchase and installation! They realized I ordered the wrong tire and corrected it. Overall, a very good experience from both Costco and Michelin. Thank you.
Best Truck Tires Yet
The Defender A/T is amazing, so quiet on the highway and the pulling of our 38' fifth wheel has been a dream since we upgraded to these tires.
Replaced my worn set of Defender® LTX M/S with a new set of Defender® LTX M/S2. I felt the difference with excellent traction and handling.
