Michelin Defender LTX Platinum LT 285/60R20 125/122S E (10 Ply)

Overview
The Michelin Defender LTX Platinum is a highway terrain, all season tire made for light trucks. Michelin offers a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The model provides great all season traction. The ideal tread design, with the detailed siping pattern, and the all season compound work together to upgrade the dry, wet, and winter-weather performance. The durable compound elements and the detailed siping placement increase the tire’s surface traction to ensure a safe year-round drive. The compound elements optimize the rubber’s flexibility throughout the year, in various temperatures. The tread design’s siping placement increases the number of biting edges that grip the road, which boosts surface traction. The tread’s ideal groove placement avoids hydroplaning in wet-weather situations.Consistent road contact boosts the tire’s overall controllability. The tire greatly improves steering responsiveness and driving stability, boosting overall controllability. The tire ensures a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder block placement, with the ideal sip details, enhances cornering and maneuvering. This combination significantly improves the driver’s control over the vehicle, promoting a safer driving experience.Great usability is ensured with the tread design and the durable compound. The optimal tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area. The special silica compound decreases the treadwear rate significantly. This slow and even wear offers a longer-lasting tread life. In other words, these elements resist irregular and premature wear formations, which enables the tire to perform for a longer period of time.Better structural durability is ensured with the tire’s exceptional load capacity. This tire features a robust structure that does not deform under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it securely carries and withstands heavy loads. This optimizes the tire’s overall load durability, ensuring its safer heavy-duty applications.The Michelin Defender LTX Platinum guarantees a quiet drive. The tread block placement enables the tire to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. The tread does not generate sound waves, which guarantees a comfortable drive. As a result, road disturbances do not ruin the passenger’s driving enjoyment.
