I run them on my F150 and my wife's Yukon. The new M/S2 nearly ties with the Continentals in wet braking. They make great road tires and are more than adequate offroad too.
They’re amazing. I had 2 sets on my ‘16 F-150. I put larger Recon Grapplers on my '22 F-150 and they look cool to me, but ride like a stone wheel compared to the Defenders.
As unbiased as I can be, myself and my family run defenders on every vehicle we own, and latitude X-ice for winters.
After a lot of years of trying different things, the Michelins have been the best tires by far.
Had them on my 2010 F 150 when I sold it and loved them, nice soft quiet ride.
I have 40k on mine and they’re going strong. I sold tires for years and nothing compares to Michelins. They’re just the best.
I like these tires so far. Have them on my silverado. I don't do much off-roading, but they eat rain for breakfast, and do decently well in snow
had them on my last car, great in the snow, great in the rain, and really quiet
I got 103k miles on a set on my 2013 5.0 F150. Still have them in the garage because there’s still tread left. I put new defenders on a couple winters ago. Highly recommended.
They’re Michelin. And while they’re not fantastic or anything. They’re more than good enough, and cheap enough to swap every 6 months if needed.
Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
