Question on Michelin LTX tires
I have set of Michelin LTX M/S LT tires ordered for my 2013 f150 cc. I have been reviewing some previous post and I keep seeing some folks mentioning a 70,000 mile or 60,000 mile warranty on these ...

Rating and warranty issues aside, the Michelin Defenders can have some drawbacks. I have them on my mini-van, and my tire shop had a terrible time getting one of them balanced. The owner there told me that they had a lot of balancing problems with the Defenders.
The tread has a long wear because it is HARD. The ride is not nearly as smooth as other Michelin tires, even in a heavier vehicle like a mini-van. It might be better on a truck, but I'm betting it still won't be as good as another Michelin tire. I had the Harmony line on my van before the Defenders, and the ride was MUCH better.
I recommend doing some reading and research before switching to them. TireRack.com is a good source of reviews and information on tires. If I had it to do over again, I would not buy the Defenders for my vehicle.
