That’s good to know! I worry about punctures often. Any specific wear patterns you’ve noticed?
Surprisingly, they’ve worn evenly for me. No strange patterns that I can see. I’d say they perform quite well overall!
What about winter performance? Have any of you driven in snow or ice conditions?
I live in a snowy area, and these tires handled it well. Just ensure to drive carefully, but they grip better than I expected!
I’ve been using the Michelin 275/55R20 Defender LTX M/S on my Chevy for about six months now. The ride is incredibly smooth, even on bumpy roads. Noise levels are very low, making long drives quite enjoyable.

I totally agree! I took mine on a road trip last month, and it felt like I was gliding over the highway. No complaints about noise either!
I’ve had a different experience. While the comfort is decent, I noticed more road noise than I expected. It’s not terrible, but it’s something to consider if you want that ultra-quiet cabin feel.
That’s interesting, Albert. Maybe it depends on driving conditions or tire pressures? Mine has been quite quiet on paved roads.
I took my Defender LTX M/S on a 10-hour drive recently, and my back felt great when I arrived. It handles well, and the comfort is outstanding. I can barely hear the tires working.
That’s awesome! I’m planning a long trip soon, so this gives me more confidence in my choice. Thanks for sharing!
I actually prefer a little noise from my tires to remind me that I’m on the road! It adds to the driving experience. But I do appreciate a comfortable ride for the long hauls.
The Defender LTX M/S definitely provides a solid ride for all conditions. I think it strikes a good balance between comfort and performance, though I, too, noticed some noise on rougher surfaces.
Right! As much as we love these tires, they can be a bit louder when dealing with gravel or uneven pavement.
For those who have driven in heavy rain, how do these handle? I’ve heard they perform well, but noise often increases during wet conditions. Just curious!

I’ve driven in both rain and snow with them, and they were surprisingly quiet and maintained great grip. They’re solid all-rounders!
