Defender LTX M/S2 Customer Reviews
We were happy with all parts of our American Tire experience.
I've had confidence in Michelin tires for over 30 years. Never had an "egg shaped" Michelin. Discount Tire always gets a proper balance. As long as the premium isn't too high, I'll always buy Michelin tires.
