Michelin Defender LTX M/S

[Anchor Down]

I had their older version of just the Michelin LTX M/S 2. Best road tires I ever had regardless of dry/wet/snow/ice, lasted me 60k miles.

Totally agree 100%. I'm on my second set and will buy a third in due time.

I've had mine for ~27k miles. I've found them to be loud. Noticeably louder than my set of winter tires - michelin X-Ice.

I've posted earlier in this thread. After racking up a few miles, on 275/70/18 E range LTX's, I won't be going with these again. They are wearing much faster than their other light duty sizes, and have cut some mpg due to their weight and rolling resistance. I may choose them again in C range if I get some 20" takeoffs in the near future.

I totally agree with this. I've had Mich Def LTX tires on a 4Runner, a GMC Sierra, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and now my Ram 1500. Always liked them and remain very impressed with their handling of snow, ice, rain, light off-roading, etc but they are noticeably louder on this truck. Not sure if its the tires or the truck though. Never had the noise problem until the Ram.

I've got 55,000 miles on mine and they are around 30% so I ordered a new set today. Defender LTX M/S in 305/45R22 is backordered till mid November so I've got a bit of a wait.
They have decent traction still but I don't like running under 30% with the amount of rain we get in Georgia.

Anyone have pictures of these on the 22" rim factory tire size?

Here ya go... I just had these put on last week. Truck is completely stock. The Michelin's replaced the factory Pirelli's

I also run these on my wife's 2019 Grand Cherokee Overland.

How are you liking them? Thinking of moving back to street tires from my Ridge Grapplers

I like the tires... I have ran the latest version of Michelin Defenders on several vehicles over the years and have always gotten great mileage and ride quality out of them. I didn't want to go with anything real aggressive because I pull this truck behind my motorhome, with a golf cart sometimes loaded in the bed. Didn't want to increase the ride height to affect the loading and unloading of the cart...
