The Michelin Defender LTX M/S is a brand-new tire for crossovers, SUVs and heavy-duty trucks. It offers better fuel economy, traction and durability.

The tires I tested included the Pirelli Scorpion STR (stock on my Desert Sled), the Michelin Anakee Wild, the Dunlop Trailmax Mission, and the Moto Z Tractionator GPS.
