Defender LTX M/S2 Customer Reviews
I sure wish you’d get your store built in Payson so I don’t have to go all the way to the valley to get my tires rotated
Overall awesome tire to purchase.
Great all season truck tire but very mediocre snow tires as tread packs with snow and doesn't do a very good job of clearing lugs.
Amazing wear lifr
