Still waiting for the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

[Nono-rhlr]

Love the wide circumvential grooves for deep standing water.

[AnonYmous-kfuu]

My Defender 1’s are just about to hit 100k miles. I hope the D2’s can hold up.

[brettmiller]

Why would Michelin make a tire with a “B” traction rating? Seems like a step backward from the prior version.

[barryrutenschroer]

Nice explanation of the tire. Just bought a set for my Rav4 based on recommendation from Tire Discounters sales person.
My criteria was: Long life, wet traction, under $225/tire. Looks like they steered me right.

[LocoD]

Michelin’s are well worth the price if you are piling on the miles on your vehicle. How about some reviews on some Bridgestone truck tires. Keep the videos coming!

[bardigan]

Many thanks for the comment regarding less than best in class for rain performance, I live in Oregon. Regarding symmetrical vs non symmetrical groove patterns and their rotation issues, I've never heard anything about that. Any chance you think the issue might be worth a video of it's own? Many thanks for all the great work you're putting into the channel.

[rmchee]

Love you channel, can you do video on Toyos HT02, Falken HT02 and Michelins

[dww]

Can we get a look at the new Cooper Stronghold AT?
Also, in a past video you pressed down in the middle of the tires to show their strength.
That is a good visual I think you should bring back.

[maximaalski]

This guy knows his stuff. Great video and very informative analysis of what makes up a good (Michelin) tire

[aarone]

Will you please review the new tires below:

Cooper Discoverer Stronghold AT
Yokohama Geolandar AT/4

Thank you! You are awesome at reviewing tires!

[colinschmitz]

What is going to be softer riding between this, General Altimax RT45, Cooper Endeavor?

I need an all season that is going to absorb as imperfections of the road to help with my back pain.

[homesteadandhighways]

Loved how he explained the tradeoff between tread life (miles) vs. every day performance, especially in rain. Larger groves = more siphoning but this also equals less road contact which increases the wear rate on the tread that does contact the road. These tires sacrifice this by having smaller and more groves, but equals a much longer tread life. Great, honest and simple review! Thank you!

[danielthornton]

I would like to see a comparison between Yokohama geolander A/T GO15 vs Michigan Defender 2 for my 2wd F150. Highway dry and rain conditions. Thank you

Bought 4 Defender 2's in April. Very quiet, excellent handling and no drop in mpg as some have claimed. Only issue (not just with Michelin)....I hate low-profile tires. '21 Avalon came with 235/40R19, and after queries to Toyota and other reputable sources, there's no way to move away from that size without possibly causing mechanical harm and incorrect instrument readings.

[radiohead]

Really? Compared to Defender 1 most people hate 2.

[christopherwilson]

I know you are not a huge fan of Falken tires but I would like to know your opinion on the wildpeak ht02 and if any one has ran these tires I would love your feedback on them

[wowdude]

Saw this tire on my coworkers ram 1500 size 275/55/20 i have 22 inch rims so I'm looking to get the 285/45/22 i do city driving no off road and it hasn't snowed in few years here in NC but this tire still says rated for mud/snow

[idngeqh]

Do you have a review compared to the Defender Platinum and comparison against the MS?

[AlvinEllis-hupn]

what is the difference between the defender 2 and the defender 2 cuv?
