Michelin defender lxt 255/75r17

Yeah i thought they might look a little weak compared to the 265/70’s but honestly they look just as big and more aggressive then i thought they would. Very happy with my purchase

 

I once had a set of Michelins on my 1994 SR5 4x4. Performed very well for several winters in the Lake Tahoe area, off road in the Saline/Death Valley region and many, many miles of forest service roads in the Sierra's. I had 147,000 miles on them when it was time to move them along.

 

any reason you went with the m/s, and not the m/s2? Ski

 

Yeah a couple the 2’s are more expensive and all the reviews I read that were great reviews were about the original. So money and they come highly recommended

Also the m/s2’s did have good reviews but just that many

 

Bought a set of these in 2022 for $1,100 installed. Just checked after reading this thread and the cost of those same tires has jumped a bit:

$330.00 /EA
+ Installation costs added in cart
