Got Defender MS2s in 275/55/20 installed on stock '13 LX rims. They look really good - not an AT obviously but more aggression on the sidewall and noticeably fill the wheel wells better than stock. Nearly silent on the highway and steering/handling is tight. I drive old potholed roads daily...

I just got these 275/55/20 XL delivered from Discount Tire after the Costco debacle. 39 pounds. I've run KO2 on previous trucks and great for a purpose, but I'm solving for onroad ride/handling with 2% offroad handling on forest service and farm roads. They look great in person, will report...

Not isolated. I ordered same tire, they delivered to store, then they refused to install even after I elevated to the tire manager who was off at home that day, arguing they are within 3% size constraint. Basically the argument is going from a 148 to 130mph speed rating is unacceptably...

Yeah no big deal...just a wasted trip and wasted shipping for them x2 I'm leaning towards stepping up to the 33" 275/60/20 Defender MS2 instead of 31.9" 275/55 on stock 2013 LX rims. Anyone have negative feedback about the 275/60s ride/fit on stock rims? Thanks

I ordered set from Costco delivered and they wouldn’t install them because 10mm narrower than stock and speed rating only 118mph. GMAFB. Love Costco but this is absurd liability CYA

How do you like the M/S2 vs your Contis previously had? Am looking at both...

Are the Defender M/S 2 (that came out this year) already consensus better tire than the old OGs? Wish they offered more sizes in the new one.

What did you replace with? Curious why as looking at Conti

About to get rid of stock Michelin HTs and searching for an upgrade tire on stock 2013 LX 20" rims. I am 99% on-road and care most about high-speed performance, ride and noise, so am likely going P-rated for comfort/weight. That said, I tow a small skiff to gravel and dirt ramps and hunt a lot...

What big, fat highway tires are you eyeing? I'm looking for same, no cutting or hard rubbing.

Saw this tweet recently and made so much sense... "Used Japanese cars will be a better store of value than cash. Like old Lexus IS, LS, and LX, Toyota pickup trucks and SUVs. Proof of assembly line work."

Getting 120K mi service on my '13 this week - not sure if AHC fluid ever changed - is $225 good price for AHC flush?

These were great instructions and yes, that passenger side firewall plug is a real b*tch. Took me so long I’ve only had time to do the first 4 on passenger side. Probably would pay someone if I did it again, but glad to save the 400 bucks. 2013 LX with 112K

This ran $375 at Pops in Summerville SC

I had the seam split on the left side of my driver's seat (2013 LX) and took it to local upholstery shop, where they replaced entire bottom section of leather. Results are extremely impressive .
