- Is the Defender LTX M/S2 worth the price?
- At $259.00 at Belle Tire as of November 6, 2026, you pay a premium over budget all-seasons. The 75,000-mile warranty and long-wear UTQG 820 rating make it a reasonable value for high-mileage SUV and truck drivers.
- How does it compare to the original Defender LTX M/S?
- The M/S2 keeps the long-wear, all-season formula but adds 3-D Active Sipes for better wet and light-snow grip. It remains a highway-focused tire, not an off-road or winter model.
- Can I use it in snow?
- It handles light snow and cold wet roads, but it is not a three-peak mountain snowflake winter tire. For regular deep snow or ice, a dedicated winter tire is the better choice.
- What sizes does it come in?
- Sizes run from 15 to 20 inches, including 245/60R20 with load index 113 and H speed rating. Check your vehicle's placard for the correct size and load range.
- What is the treadwear warranty?
- Michelin lists 75,000 miles; Belle Tire's page states 70,000. Keep rotation records, since warranty claims require documented maintenance.
- When is it cheapest?
- Tire prices move with seasonal promotions, often around spring and fall changeover sales. Compare all 5 stores listing it new rather than assuming one is lowest.
