The Michelin Defender: one of the best-known, most reliable and all-around capable tires 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 tires 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).

Who is Michelin?

Michelin is a multinational French Tire company based in Clermont, Ferrand, France. The company started in 1889 and initially was a rubber company. Things turned when a cyclist stumbled upon their factory and needed to repair his tires. Bike tires during those times were glued to the rim and took forever to repair. So Michelin saw the opportunity and created the first removal Pneumatic tire. Today, that same principle is what’s being used in all tires.

Revolutionizing the Tire Industry

Michelin is known as a key innovator and played a big role in revolutionizing the way tires are made. They introduce a tire that when punctured, would run on a special foam lining which what we know today as run-flat tires, and was the first company to introduce Radial tires. These tires perform and handle better compared to the traditional way tires are made.

Motorsport Participation

The company is also actively participating in various motorsport events. Some of these races include Rally Racing, Moto GP, and some of the most prestigious races in the world such as Formula 1 and Lemans 24 Hours.
