275/45R22 Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 All Season
Category: Truck/SUV All Season – Highway
The Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 is a robust truck and SUV all-season tire tailored for highway use, delivering a blend of durability and dependable year-round performance. Crafted with Michelin's advanced Evertread compound, this tire is built to endure longer under the rigors of daily driving, especially in light trucks and SUVs that carry heavy loads. Its well-designed tread pattern offers a quiet and comfortable ride on the highway, while providing reliable traction in various weather conditions. With excellent hydroplaning resistance and enhanced grip on both wet and dry surfaces, the Defender LTX M/S2 stands as a prime choice for drivers seeking a tire that combines longevity with a steadfast all-season capability. It also has a 80,000km tread life warranty for T and H rated sizes or 80,000km for S rated sizes.
XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.
What these tire specs mean
- Load Index 112 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 1120 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
- Speed Rating H indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 210 km/h under proper load and inflation.
- UTQG 820 B A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
- All Season tires are made for mild year round driving, but they generally do not meet Quebec winter tire requirements unless they also carry 3PMS.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
- EV Compatible means the tire is marked as suitable for electric vehicles, where load, torque, rolling resistance, and noise can matter more.
- Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
- Warranty coverage is manufacturer backed and depends on normal use, proper maintenance, rotation, inflation, and alignment conditions.
