Seen Michelin came out with this new tire. The old Defender LTX has always been a phenomenal tire but never looks great. I’m not even sure this new one will look any better. But, was curious if any of you guys are running it?
Exactly what I was thinking. Although like a previous person said, I’m not exactly sure about that tread pattern.Specific for luxury trucks .....
I will add these to the short list of tires ill checkout after these firestones destroy themselves.
Finally a Michelin sidewall that isnt ugly.
The tread pattern confused me, but BFG\Michelin has not ever let me down. Dont get me started on Yokohama....Exactly what I was thinking. Although like a previous person said, I’m not exactly sure about that tread pattern.
I guess it is still too early on to know.
I agree, but they have have a specific LT tire for that already.No 3 peak rating? Ugh.
I'll let the ih8mud guys test them out first.The pictures appear vague and without real world testing I'll reserve judgement - but I will say it doesn't appear they will evacuate water well at all. Also most of the time with tires in order to get something you have to give something up - they advertise a rubber that lasts twice as long as the last generation. At the cost of what?
I don't like it at all so far - I may be proven wrong though. We'll see.
I could not agree more...Im not all that big on the looks myself.The tread pattern confused me
I have the the Defenders and love them. Curious as to what looks bad? they are tires.Seen Michelin came out with this new tire.

IMO only, Im not disputing the great quality and performance of the Defender, its a look preference, with out getting to snitty I find them a little too grandpaish.I have the the Defenders and love them. Curious as to what looks bad? they are tires.
I would imagine if they are a success many more sizes will come.I wonder if they have plans to make these in more sizes? I would consider these if they came out with a 285/65/20.
