Defender LTX M/S2

Description

The Defender LTX M/S2 is Michelin’s Highway All-Season tire developed to combine all-season capabilities with extended tread life for SUVs, pick-ups, and commercial vans. The Defender LTX M/S2 iterates on a successful legacy to bring a smooth, quiet ride with year-round traction in dry, wet and even light snow.

Defender LTX M/S2 tires feature the Michelin Evertread 2.0 compound, an evolution of the DNA found in the prior Defender LTX M/S, specifically formulated to resist abrasion under high load and high torque. The compound is molded into an all-new symmetric tread design; patterned into a series of closely spaced independent blocks, this layout affords additional depth and rigidity compared to its predecessor. This design, combined with high-density 3D SipeLock technology, allows the Defender LTX M/S2 to maintain block cohesion in dry conditions, while still offering the biting edges necessary for all-season traction. Four circumferential grooves and open shoulder slots handle water evacuation from the contact patch for strong wet braking and traction.

The internal construction of the Defender LTX M/S2 includes a twin polyester body casing for stable, crisp steering response and two steel belts providing reliability at highway speeds with the strength necessary to handle heavy loads. A reinforcing polyamide cap ply further enhances performance and stability at high speeds.
