WHAT OWNERS SAY
❝
40% highway, 40% city, 20% ranch road driving, these tires are the best. They give 95% the performance of the premium Conti Terrain Contact AT but last, literally, twice as long. I'm at 40k miles and the tread depth says these are going to go 80k, which is crazy.
❝
Now, in heavy rain, the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 shines. They manage water very well, giving me confidence on rainy highways with no sign of hydroplaning. Even during an intense downpour, I didn’t have that floating sensation that cheaper tires often give you. That alone felt like a worthy investment.
❝
I now have 7,000 miles on my 275/60R20 M/S2 tires. Fronts are at 7-8 32nds and rears at 11. No conserve usage, 95% all purpose standard height. 2.0 mi/kWh lifetime over 20k.
