No on the Defender tires but also no on the Discovery I and II tires which were Michelin. Tires can help but when your traction control strategy is to reduce throttle input and apply the brake to a wheel or wheels, traction/forward momentum issues can be discovered.
Edit add: Let's be fair to all manufacturers which basically used the same base technology, most customers will not take their vehicle into moderate to significant off road conditions. In addition the technology does work for 90%+ situations. That remaining 10% will **** off many. I took our LR4 HD up Engineer's Pass from Ouray a few years ago. Someone yelled out "I wouldn't take MY LR4 up here!" LOL.
