Not happy

Not happy with these tires way too much weight they use 5 1/2 half ounces or more. Took it back they just moved them from the inside. The inside rim truck has a vibration now it didn’t help by moving the weights to a different place from the inside rim to the outside would not recommend this tire vibration of seats are shaking was not like this before about the tires had original tires bought the truck new Has never been wrecked. Wheels are not bent just poor quality tire they’re telling me this is normal.

Bought these before for another truck and really liked them -

Tires are quiet on the road and provide excellent handling and traction.

2016 Ford F250

I recently purchased a set of these Defender LTX M/S2 tires for my F250. Tire size is LT275/65R18. They replaced a set of off road tires that were loud and made for a harsher than normal ride. I've always been a fan of Michelin tires on my trucks but I think these are the best tires I've ever bought. The change is ride quality and noise is nothing less than remarkable. The ride on my truck is much smoother and now it sounds like the interior of a luxury sedan rather than a truck. The truck pulled very slightly to the right with the old tires but the Michelins solved that problem. They look good, they ride good and they're very quiet on the highway (where my truck is used nearly exclusively). I was reluctant to spend so much for tires but I'm very happy I did. Highly recommended.

Improved my gas milage and overall driving experience

Went from Nitto Ridge Grabblers to the Defender LTX M/S2. So much better handling and improved my gas millage too. Handled well in rainy conditions.

Quiet Ride- Treadwear mediocre on AWD

3d Set of Michelins. Quietest ride of all tires tried. However, tread wear was < 15000 miles on 4WD 1/2-ton Truck.
