20" Inch 20" Michelin Defender LTX M/S2

Are these coming in anytime to Costco? The Costco tire person was not able to order them from his system. He asked me to order them Online, but they are not available..?

If Costco employee doesn't know, I don't see how anyone in the forum would know.... unless they happen to work for Costco Corporate and in the department responsible for deciding what products the stores sell.

I bought my 275/65/R20 LTX M/S2s from Costco. 3k miles on them, love them, and the costco warranty last week when I got a key lodged in my tire. $18 replacement.

How are your efficiency numbers look like ?

I'm a lead foot of the finest order so I'm a bad use case but with the temps up in the PNW, I'm around 10-15% improved. To me the real improvements are they are whisper quiet compared to the Pirellis and the ride is so much better. They are a bit spongier when cornering but not anything that isn't adaptable.

What Rivian tire settings are you all using? I have the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 in the 275 60 R20. The size and load rating is the same as the Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT OEM but there’s also the all season setting for non OEM. Which is more accurate?

I have the 65 and am using the aftermarket all season setting.

I wouldn't use any of the specific tire settings unless you have the tire. Someone else mentioned they used a tire setting for a tire they didn't have because it had the same or similar specs and the range and other things were way off.

Makes sense. That’s the setting Discount Tire used after I got them yesterday. Appreciate the help!

Just put on the Michelin defender Ltd m/s2’s. They are amazingly smooth and quiet. What a difference from the scorpions.

No, that is the LT version, which are heavier than the 116H rated version that's due out on August 1st in 275/65/20

I see teh Michelin 275/65-20 on Tire Rack’s website today ...

Can someone speak directly to how the 65r20 version of this tire will compare to 60r20? I had the 60r20 and loved it, but am wondering if the 65 will give me more cushion, and whether it will hurt my range. Thanks!

I cannot comment with Michelin defender 60 profile , while comparing with 21 inches scorpion, it's a big improvement. I do agree it has a range hit, I would say 5% but happy with it.

However with rivian gessometer say 285 miles in all purpose mode which is 10% off from 21 inches. but I have 40k miles on it as well may be battery degraged a bit.
