Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

Think you can’t improve on perfection? Think again. Outfit your crossover, SUV or pickup with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 and experience a living legend made new.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 Features

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 delivers the ultimate performance in tread life, all-season safety and ride comfort, with a quiet, comfortable cabin feel.

The newest iteration of the Defender line, the LTX M/S 2 takes a paragon of performance and elevates it to new levels of quality and dependability. If you value premier ride quality, hardworking stability and tread life that doesn’t quit, you want the LTX M/S 2 on your vehicle.

Built to provide the same luxurious ride as the original Defender with more tread life than ever, the Defender LTX M/S 2 boasts Michelin’s EverTread 2.0 Compound. This next-gen tire rubber mixture is scientifically formulated to resist abrasion (AKA treadwear), even under heavy loads and high torque—both of which are inevitable on modern pickups and SUVs.

The best part? The Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 is EV compatible. Whether you drive a Ford F-150 Lightning or a Rivian R1T or R1S, this Michelin may be the tire for you. It’s also a great fit for the Chevy Silverado, RAM pickups, Ford F-Series trucks, the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner and many, many more popular vehicles.

Other features of the Defender LTX M/S 2 include:

• An all-new tread pattern featuring deeper tread and stiffer tread blocks resists treadwear for long-lasting tread life.

• Built to be as quiet as it is capable, the M/S2 features Michelin’s Piano Acoustic Tuning to smooth out tread disturbances and reduce energy peaks. 

• Boasting Michelin’s MaxTouch 2.0 Technology, every tire size is optimized for even stress distribution within the tire footprint, yielding extended tread life.

• For adhesive grip in slippery conditions, it’s loaded up with SipeLock Technology, AKA hundreds of 3-D sipes that bite into water and light snow.

• Those 3-D sipes also lock together during cornering maneuvers, as well as braking and accelerating, stabilizing the tread blocks for precise steering control.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 Treadwear & Warranty

If you know anything about the Michelin Defender nameplate, it’s probably for its unstoppable tread life. And the M/S 2 has been redesigned from the ground up to provide modern trucks and SUVs with even more tread life than ever before. With that in mind, P-metric sizes come backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, while LT (AKA light truck) tire sizes feature a 50,000-mile treadwear warranty.
