Anyone have any experience with this tire? Not much info online. Pretty new and only five sizes available currently.
Hoping they have my OEM size when the time comes.

I just had the Defender LTX MS installed a few months ago on my 04 GMC Sierra which replaced an older set of the LTX MS and even the set before that so yeah I'm sold on them. I have their Defender tires on a Civic but they don't even make tires in that size anymore and not too many choices either.

LTX Defender 2 for my truck (LT265/70R17) run $330 each. I bit higher than I expected, my current LTX Defender’s ran $265 previously. The Continental TerrainContact H/T which has similar attributes and 60k mile rating runs $273 when I called Belle & Discount tire Tuesday.

The OE tires on my F-150 are the LTX M/S2. They are currently at 35,000 miles and wearing well. They are quiet and pretty good in the rain. Will I replace them with the same tire? Probably not. They are a little too pricey for me. When the replacement time comes, I’ll be looking at General Grabber HTS 60, Falken Wildpeak HT02, or Firestone Destination LE3. There are a couple of Cooper tires that might get a look.

I ran into the same issue, that's why I ended up with the Conti's.
