245/75R17

The Michelin LTX M/S2 tire comes in 245/75R17. It has a Load Index of 121 which means the tire is rated to hold up to 3197 lbs. The tire has a Speed Rating of R so it is rated to go up to 106 mph. It has a Load Range of E, which is also known as 10 Ply. This is maximum safe carrying capacity of the tire. A higher Load Range allows the tire to carry a heavier load.The LTX M/S2 is formulated with an all season tread compound featuring silica. This compound, which extends tread life and minimizes braking distances, forms into a symmetric tread design with 3-D Active Sipes for improved handling and overall performance. Four circumferential grooves work with lateral grooves and shoulder slots to promote water evacuation as well as to enhance traction and grip. Michelin's Max Tour Technology generates a wider contact patch and evenly disperses force for a balanced blend of acceleration, braking, cornering, and responsiveness. Internally, the LTX M/S2 is reinforced by two high tensile steel belts and a spiral wrapped nylon for increased durability and force. This tire also comes with three steel belts on select sizes for heavy load applications.
