Customer Reviews
These tires ride ok but have a lot of road noise. Definitely a down grade over the old LTX defenders. I would not recommend these tires at all.
Great Tires for the most part.when new. But about 4 years and they begin early signs of dry rot in side walls fine cracks and or fine thread wear separation with low mileages. A real safety concern for a F-350 4x4 Ford Truck weighing in at 8400 pounds. I would recommend better quality Heat and Sun resistant materials for our hot dry climate in Arizona.
