Question on Michelin LTX tires

I had 6 16" Michelin LTX/MS tires put on my 2007 Chevy 3500 dually diesel on 8/14/2012 with 39,227 miles on the truck. The tires have a 70,000 mile guarantee on them. As 12/9/2016, the truck has 63,264 miles on it and the tires only have 4/32's of tread left on them. That is a total of 24,027 miles and the tires are worn out. The retailer I purchased them from is scheduled to replace them on 12/13 under warranty. Michelin no longer offers the LTX tire with the 70,000 mile warranty. My new tires will be the equivalent replacement with only a 50,000 mile warranty. Michelin no longer offers a 70,000 mile warranty on their tires. The cost to me was the mileage use equivalent.

There are several different kinds of Michelin LTX tires.

The Michelin LTX Defender M/S LT tires have the R speed rating and now come with a 50,000 mile tread life warranty. The LTX A/T2 LT tires with R speed rating come with a 60,000 mile warranty.

The other Michelin LTX tires that have the S and T speed ratings still come with the 70,000 mile tread life warranty.

That info is from the Michelin web site.

My Michelin Defender LTX M/S 265/60R18 110T tires (not LT tires) came with a 70,000 mile warranty.
