Tire skips while turning at slow speed
Tires skip when turning at slow speed, like truck is in 4wd on dry pavement but it’s not. Had it aligned to thorn specs but still skips…very annoying for a tire this expensive.
Excellent tire
Excellent tires in the rain and snow. Pretty quiet and look amazing. I've had them on for a year now on a heavy diesel f250 and I love them.
Great for Winters!
Incredible tire, Especially in NE Ohio/Western Pa winters I wish they made this tire in every size, tread life is freakin great, performed outstanding in deep snow and ice, if you got kids or commute in areas with deep snow and you’re really worried about safety, grip, and reliability. This is the tire. This is not ai lol 100% recommend. I drive a full size 22 Tundra.
Overall ride and handling plus extremely quiet
The Defender’s exceeded my expectations. I have ran Michelin tires for twenty years plus. This tire takes the F250 Ford to a new level of ride and quietness.
To early to give a better opinion.
I only purchased these tires because the you no longer make the Defender LTX M/S2 in my size. I had the Defender M/S2's on my truck for 5 yrs and they were the best tires I ever owned. I just put the Platinum's on a week ago because I switched to Continental's but the ride after 60 mph wasn't the best. The Platinum's are good after 60 mph but a little rough at slow speeds.
Brilliant Ride!
Quality
30000 miles and I’m still at 70 percent tread life. Amazing tires. I’ll never buy anything else. I’m pulling a 42 ft fifth wheel. It has great traction and I have peace of mind.
TERRIBLE Tires
I have had Michelin tires on all my trucks over the years, these new ones are not the same. Bought 2 in July and 2 in November, truck was shaking bad. Back to Discount tire and the road force value was 40-50 on two of them. Replaced and problem came back within 2 week. Since then they have replaced all 4 again, problem is back. Took to the dealership, nothing wrong with the truck, it's the tires again. Not a happy customer.

Great tire
Could tell a big difference in the ride as soon as I hit the road after installation. Much smoother and quieter than the All Terrain’s I had replaced. The traction during the rain has been great.
