Michelin Defender LTX MS/2 - Best Tire?

[duckhuntkllr]

I’m looking at the Michelin Defender LTX MS/2 285/45R22 tires due to all the positive feedback I‘ve read. Is this still the best street tire for our trucks? My truck is lowered and I do absolutely no off-roading with it as I have a Jeep for that. I’m just looking for a really good street tire that is quiet, has good wear life, and good grip in most conditions. I’m not worried about snow and ice because I drive my Jeep on those bad weather days. I am also considering the Continental CrossContact LX25. Thoughts?

I bought a set a month ago before the snow started since the Nexus tires (or whatever the original tires were) were worn down. I do a lot of high way driving (state and freeway) and these have been super quiet. They were more $ than some other options, but quiet and didn't reduce mpg. About the same I've been getting (avg 20). Good snow and ice handling so far this winter. Good stopping too.

I ended up going with the MS/2’s a while back and I’ve been happy with them so far.

I like mine a lot. Confident wet and snow traction which were priorities in upstate NY. Dry traction is fine. Unpaved roads is the most off road i get. TBD on mileage but so far wear looks good

I had them before in an extra low capacity and they were good. I do wish I got them in an LT so I didn’t need to upgrade.
