Replacement tires for View

[Pathfinder]

We are needing to replace the original tires on our 2016 24J View. As the Michelin Defenders are no longer available, we’re looking at several options, including the Michelin Agiles CrossClimate. Looks like a good tire, but they’re so new, I haven’t seen any consumer feedback on these. Does anyone have any experience with these? Any other tire suggestions are welcome.

I have been running these one my Silverado dually for a little over a week now. Had the LTX's on it but wore them out. I have had good luck with Michelin tires. These new Agiles seem to be fine.

Who told you that Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires were no longer available?

Here they are: https://www.michelinman.com/US/en/sa...der-tires.html

They now longer have 215-85-16 in the Defender line up.

You can still get them here: https://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Defe...ateway&sr=8-46

And here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mhl-02903/overview/

But Michelin may indeed have stopped manufacturing them. Here looks to be what Michelin would like you to buy instead: https://www.michelinman.com/tire/mic...&zipCode=95030

Inventory says "one only." If anybody needs just one better get it. That size is done.

Just can't go wrong with any Michelin. Any old stock within two years of mfg is good to go. Any new line they come out with will be well tested and a good bet for good service.

Has anyone run 245/70-16 tires. Same diameter as 215/85-16.. would dualies “kiss”.. ?.

Wider tread and higher weight rating..
