Anyone running Michelin Defender LTX M/S?

I've got 295s. 60K when I rotated them for the first time last month. No wear on the rear and only slight scrubbing on the front. Best sand tires I've ever had too.

 

Any photos of your set up?

Edit: actually I think I've seen yours around the website..

 

Not on my phone. I've got some on my computer if I can remember next time I'm in the house.

But yeah, I've posted them a couple of times on here.

 

I was running them. I absolutely hated them. They were the noisiest tire I've ever had on any vehicle. Just got noisier with wear. Finally got rid of them and had some Yokohamas mounted instead. What an improvement!

I had bought the LTXs because they were supposed to be quieter than the AT2s that were on the truck when I bought it. Not so! The LTX were lot louder.

 

There is a big difference in the AT2's and the defenders in the mud. The AT2's will sling more mud worn out than the defenders will new. The defenders are in my opinion a 2WD tire

 

I'll have to respectfully disagree with part of this. They're the best tires I've ever run in sand. Not 2WD sand, OBX sugar sand. Hot dry summer days when the wind comes from the back of the dunes. I do avoid mud unless I can't, but from the tread style I would expect they're not very good for that. They're good in rain. They seem ok in snow based on the limited amount we get, but it's not really enough to form an opinion.

 

That looks sick. Do you have any lift or are you talking me I could throw these on my '18 stock SR5? Any rubbing?

 

Thanks
