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.

Un nuage

J'adore la souplesse et le silence de roulement de ces pneus. Dans vos choix de grosseur, vous avez oublié le ratio de pneu 50.

Great tires for all terrains!

Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 are great tires for modem pickup trucks & full size SUVS. I own a Chevrolet Suburban LT and this tires fit them perfectly, I can feel the difference while I’m driving if how these tires work on any terrain, specially on rainy days. The material is thick and the tires look powerful. I recommend them if you have a large truck!

Smooth ride

Got these Michelin Defender LTX M/s2 tires to go our family's 2019 Toyota Sequoia. We were running on a different brand of tires but will have to admit that these tires give us quite a comfortable ride! They don't look quite as rugged as ones we've had but if these will last as long as they're rated for them I'll be more than happy.

So smooth & quality is superb!

These tires are great, they ride so so good and make our small town roads feel like they don’t have a pothole every mile. They are seriously great quality and I plan on them lasting a while for me. Thick, not dense & they look really good also! My husband is now purchasing these for his own truck he likes them so much! My SUV is in the shop currently with some recall getting that taken care of, so don’t have a picture of them on my car..BUT I highly recommend

Michelin Defender Set of tires

I was in the market for new tires and had been comparing different brands and styles. The Michelin Defender had everything I was looking for in a set of new wheels. The tires are very well made, strong and sturdy and most importantly, they make me feel safe on the road. These tires provide a smooth ride on the highway and are rugged enough for our back country roads. The tread wear life is impressive and I feel for the life and wear and tear of these tires, that they are a good investment. I like the deep tread pattern and noticed during the rainstorm that the tires gripped the road and they are weather proofed very well. I felt safe during all of my recent commutes.

Best tires

My mom swears by these tires and now I know why! They have the best smooth, quiet ride and give my car great traction. Big improvement over original factory tires. They seem to last longer too in her experience. I’m still new so time will tell for my set. It’s the only brand and line she’s been using for years on multiple cars

Tires performed better than expected!

We got this these tires and put them on my husband’s truck last month. The tires were quiet and smooth on the road, and even on gravel/dirt. We took them out in the rain, and had no problems. Haven’t had them long enough to inspect any tread-related issues, but confident the tread will hold up over time based on the quality material construction. .

Great on my Tundra

I recently purchased a new to me 2020 Toyota Tundra and was wanting to put new tires on it so went with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2. Now I live in Texas and have had them for about 6 weeks of up and down weather. From 80 degrees and windy/rain to near zero driving in snow. These have held up tremendously in all of these weather conditions. The traction these get is superb and makes for a smooth ride. Ride noise is minimal if that is a priority for you. Turning corners in them is also great. Overall these are tires I highly recommend!
