WHAT OWNERS SAY
❝
My pickup (2017 Toyota Tacoma) is my daily driver and I need snow performance to enjoy winter sports. Winter here is mostly rainy and snow cover barely lasts a week or 2 so full winter tires aren't a good deal.
❝
Purchased Defender LTX M/S for my 2016 Highlander in September, 2019. After 30,000 miles, I highly recommend. Great in snow, wet, dry conditions. Very secure on the road. Quiet! Low rolling friction which has increased gas mileage by 1 to 1 1/2 mpg. I expect to get 70K + tread wear.
❝
Michelin has always been know for their high price and great quality. That is word of mouth. I bought my first set of Michelin tires and they are the worse tire I have every bought. Road noise is like a mud tire, I go stuff in my own drive way that is gravel.
❝
This is my 2nd set of the Defender LTX and they are the best tire I have even had. Smooth, quiet and great in all weather. Also wears great.
