About This Tire

The Michelin Defender LTX M/S 245/65R17 is an all-season tire, designed for SUV, pickup, and van drivers who prioritize long tread life and reliable year-round performance in everyday driving. Its tread design and compound focus on durability and balanced traction across dry, wet, and light snow conditions.

The tire features Michelin's Evertread compound, an advanced formulation engineered to withstand high-torque demands from modern trucks while extending wear life beyond its predecessor, the LTX M/S2. The symmetric tread pattern uses stable independent tread blocks with high-density 3-D Active Sipes to maintain grip in varying weather conditions. Driver feedback points to strong dry performance and exceptional longevity, with solid wet weather capability and comfortable ride quality standing out in daily use.

Compared to performance-oriented tires, it emphasizes comfort, stability, and long-term usability. Overall, it's a solid choice for light trucks and SUVs used primarily for highway driving and daily transportation in diverse weather conditions.
