The Michelin Defender: one of the best-known, most reliable and all-around capable tyres perhaps ever created.

With the addition of the Michelin Defender LTX M/S to the “Defender” nameplate, Michelin has created a tire that lays down a comfortable and predictable ride on a day-to-day level while maintaining its composure in extreme road conditions.

An outstanding light truck tire for your pickup, SUV or even CUV, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S delivers excellent all-season traction, dynamic handling and steering responsiveness all coupled with industry leading performance over its long-lasting tread life.

Michelin Defender Features

With an advanced “Evertread” rubber compound that effectively resists wear and tear, (even when subjected to heavy loads and severe road conditions) Michelin once again went through great effort to create a balanced and supremely reliable tire that more than carries on the legacy prior variants of the Michelin Defender have established over time. In fact, Michelin says that its Evertread rubber compound helps the Defender LTX M/S be up to 10% more effective in severe driving conditions than its predecessors.

Other performance and technology features of the Michelin Defender LTX M/S include:

• Shorter winter weather and wet stopping distances than other tyres with comparable warranties.
• Michelin’s “MaxTouch Construction” incorporated into the Defender LTX M/S reduces noise, vibration and harshness while saving up to 65 gallons of fuel over the life of the tire.

A great choice for any full-size pickup or SUV, the Defender LTX M/S also comes with Outlined White Letter (OWL) and Black Sidewall (BSW) options (based on tire size).

Michelin Defender Treadwear and Warranty Info

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S comes in a wide variety of fitment sizes, load ranges and speed ratings, fitting 15-inch diameters all the way up to 22-inch wheels.

With solid traction (A – AA) and temperature (A) grades for this segment of tire to boot, it’s easy to see why the Defender LTX M/S is so in-demand.

And with treadwear ratings between 720 to 800, Michelin further backs the long-lasting life of the Defender with a robust 50,000 or 70,000-mile manufacturer warranty (depending on the speed rating).
