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 ...

I had a set of Michelin LTX M/S 2's, load range E on my 2010 2500HD Chevrolet Silverado with gas 6.0 engine. Bought them from Discount Tire, very expensive almost $1250 with lifetime rotation and balancing. These came with the 70,000 mile warranty. Well at 36,000 miles there were 3/32 on outside and center of tires. Rotated and balanced regularly with even wear on all 4 tires.
The week after Christmas I decided to replace them, I was thinking about going with Toyo, Yokohama or Cooper. Never had any of them before. Then I decided to go and talk to Discount Tire. They said they would sell me a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S for $556.00. I was not going to put another set of these on, but at that price I purchased them. Price included lifetime rotation and balancing. These now have a 50,000 mile warranty.
I asked the tire rep what their experience was with these tires. He said that they do not like the heavier weight of the 2500/3500 trucks. I then asked him what kind of mileage I could expect out of them and said about like the old ones that you have.
After looking at the Discount Tire prices for these new Michelin Defenders they are considerably cheaper then the old M/S 2's with 20,000 mile less warranty!
I guess Michelin learned their lesson on the 70,000 mile warranty and reduced it to 50,000.
Maybe get something else next time. By the way I have always had good experience with Michelin's on my cars.
