What is experience with towing on Michelin defender or similar clones like the Kumho Crugen HT51? I’ve read some reviews that the aggressive siping felt ‘squishy’ when loaded. Assuming Pmeteric but now sure who wrote the reviews.
Also what is normal tread life for some of these in 1/2 ton trucks. I’ve seen some of these tires on minivans that only made half the mileage warranty, should I expect the same thing in a bigger heavier vehicle? Cooper endeavors I’ve had wear evenly and run smooth but barely make 35k on a 65k tire all pavement use.
Edit to clarify…. The coopers are on a minivan. Best tread life I’ve had in that van was hankook 727 years ago.
