Product Overview:
The Michelin Defender LTX M/S is an all-season highway terrain tire designed for SUVs and light trucks, with select touring passenger sizes also available. Built to handle a variety of road conditions, this model delivers superior traction, exceptional durability, and optimized fuel efficiency for year-round performance. Michelin backs this model with an impressive 70,000-mile treadwear warranty for H and T speed-rated sizes and a 50,000-mile warranty for R speed-rated sizes.
 
Year-Round Traction and Hydroplaning Resistance
Engineered with a specialized Evertread compound and 3D Active Sipes, the Defender LTX M/S delivers excellent traction in dry, wet, and winter weather conditions. The circumferential and lateral grooves channel water and slush away from the tread footprint, significantly reducing the risk of hydroplaning. This ensures optimal grip and safer driving experiences in rainy and snowy conditions.
 
Extended Tread Life and Even Wear
Thanks to Michelin's MaxTouch Construction and Evertread compound, this model ensures even distribution of driving forces, including acceleration, braking, and cornering. This minimizes uneven tread wear and extends the tire's usability. As a result, the Defender LTX M/S offers an exceptional tread lifespan, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term use.
 
Fuel-Efficient Performance
The tire's optimized tread pattern and low rolling resistance design reduce the energy required to maintain motion, improving fuel efficiency and lowering CO₂ emissions. This not only saves money on fuel but also supports environmentally conscious driving practices.
 
Enhanced Driving Comfort and Quiet Ride
Michelin’s ComfortControl Technology utilizes a computer-optimized tread block sequence to reduce road noise and vibrations. This design cancels out soundwaves generated during driving, creating a quiet and smooth ride. The internal structure, reinforced with twin steel belts, further stabilizes the tire, enhancing both comfort and durability.
 
Durable and Reliable Construction
The reinforced internal structure prevents deformation under driving pressure, ensuring consistent performance across varying driving conditions. The durable construction enhances the tire's resistance to wear, punctures, and damage, providing peace of mind during long highway drives and light off-road adventures.
 
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
