Michelin Defender LT Load Range E only

[Madtiger]

Hey all,

I need some feedback. Very specific. Michelin Defender LTX…Load Range E only. Any size. How is it?

Tell me the:

Size.

Ride comfort.

Noise.

Rain traction.

Snow traction.

Off-road traction.

Tire failure…sidewall slash or tread puncture etc.



Thanks you in advance.

PS…i am thinking of maybe LT265/70/18 Load Range E for my LC….49 lbs / tire weight…requiring PSI 44 (per gaijin).

As long as you are going to do this poll, wouldn't it be valuable to know:

PSI?

LC200 or LX570?

Just my US$0.02

Most of your questions are directly related to vehicle weight. You probably won’t get much useful info without knowing that.

Tell me the:

Size. 275/70/18 LT E

Ride comfort. Firmer than stock, think sport plus. Compared to KO2s? Leagues better, you think oh this is why I bought a 200

Noise. Not much more than stock and compared to K02s it’s night and day. I don’t think a lot of people switch the other way I remember when I got my KO2s I was so pumped I didn’t care about noise or ride or mpg. So if you asked me then I’d have said oh they’re not that bad they’re actually good. Switching to these is like going from a Mitsubishi Mirage to an LS500.

Rain traction. Stellar I’m always making up a lot of distance in the rain they inspire a lot of confidence.

Snow traction. Don’t know

Off-road traction. Don’t know

Tire failure…sidewall slash or tread puncture etc.
