Michelin defenders

Anybody out there purchase Michelin defenders ltx ms/2 tires for their runner.
If you have how would you rate them in rain and snow.

 

My wife had them on her 2017 Ridgeline and they were excellent (10) in rain. Not sure about snow we live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex...not much snow

I agree with @Texas4Runner ... Wife has an 03 limited V6... That's the only tire ever been on it in 20 years... 10 for rain... No snow in Fl.

 

I can't speak to the 4Runner, but I've been running those on my Highlander and F-150 and they are excellent highway tires. I've always felt confident in the rain and mild snow we get here in Indiana.

 

OP, looking at the sidewall you are referring to the new Defender LTX M/S2
and not the older LTX M/S2 many are mistaking these for. I too am looking forward
to reviews on this tire. Tire Rack test results look promising. A slight improvement over the
Defender LTX M/S.

I had the Defender LTX M/S on my 2WD Ram 1500 I had before this 4R. I thought it was the best tire I ever had and performed perfectly in all conditions. I was in some bad snow on the interstate once and the 2WD! truck never skipped a beat. I plan for sure to put the M/S2 on the 4R once the stock Flintstone Dueler HT 684 IIs are done (or maybe sooner !!). This is a Tirerack rating summary FWIW

Note the M/S2 is tops and the stock BS Dueler is near the bottom

Just IMHO

I got a set installed about a month ago and took them on a 1300 mile round trip the next week. I'm loving them so far.

They are great in the rain. We haven't had any snow yet.

 

Have them on both my runner and my wife’s Highlander...being in the PacNW we see it all and these have been great in Montana blizzards and Moab dirt....super smooth on the highway too...
