Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 vs ?

[nvabill]

Clearly... they wanted to sell you other tires and not the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 that day.

Not the case at all, decision was not made in one day.

I just bought a set of Bridgestone Dueler LX tires from @Discount Tire in factory size 275/60R20 and could not be happier with them. They come highly rated by my local Discount Tire store and according to them they are better than the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 tires and I will add that they sell them both.

Thank you for your business, we appreciate your support. It is great to have choices, and Discount Tire definitely has more choices.

Michelin has very confusing names. Defender LTX is not the same as LTX, and in dont recall the defender LTX MS2 having an E-rated tire.

Regardless, i had my 275/60/20 Michelin Defender LTX MS2 on my max tow Screw F150 for about a month, and just towed my RV for the first time (7,000lb jayco). This replaced the factory Hankooks which were worn out.

1. These new tires are SUPER quiet compared to hankook. The truck feels a lot more quieter and yet didnt give up on stablity. Highway driving is veyr smooth.
2. While towing (pressured up to 41PSI) felt just aas good if not better than the Hankook. Tire noise is still lower which was great.
3. This tire picks up a lot of rocks in the treads.
4. Mileage rating seems really high so for the extra price paid, totally worth it.

I am very happy with these new tires. Makes my truck feel new again, and doesnt seem to be squirmy. Load capacity is very decent on a P tire.

I have had two sets of Defenders on my previous two F150s. Love them. I will most likely get them again when I need tires.

Previous 2 trucks have had these Michelin LTX M/S tires. I tow a snowmobile trailer into (hopefully) snowy, slushy icy highways up north Michigan 4-6 times per winter. These tires are GREAT in the snow, quiet, and lasted me 60-70k miles both times. As soon as my stock tires wear out I will be getting another set. The cost makes sense when they last that long.
