    Anyone running Michelin Defender tires?

    All bad news. Let’s here some good stories

    I’ve had my 2018 2500 Laramie CC 4x4 diesel 20 months, have 16000 miles and have towed an 11000 lb 5er for 3000 + miles. Not a single problem, just routine maintenance. My first Dodge after 40 years of Chevy and Ford. Very happy!
