I think such soft compound can go over the recommended 5-6 year. I have run similar tires (Michelin PSS) tires for 10 years without trouble.
Michelin Defender LTX get a big vote from me if the vehicle is a pavement pounder. They're fantastic in the rain and snow, and wear great, too.
I ran the Michelin Defender LTX on our 2017 Explorer and they were great, long wearing, good in the rain and quiet. Not a sporty tire at all though.
I put Michelin PS4s on mine and never looked back.
Run any tires that aren't the ones that came on the car. The OEM Dunlops that came on the 2016 GT were terrible. I thought that when I'd change to the Michelin PS3 As, I might notice a bit of a change, but they completely changed how the car drove in every situation. I immediately noticed how nimble, yet planted the car felt after the change.

I switched to Michelin Defender T&H. I don't drive aggressively so these tires are perfect for me.
I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus tires and found them to be far better than the tires that came from the factory.
I tried the Rekons. In the EXO casing. Lasted about 2 months before it succumbed to our thorny trails. I loved the speed but hated the grip on our dry loose over hard.
The o.e. tires where Continental Conti's but these results are from the present Michelin's. I didn't have the Conti's on long and unfortunately I never closely watched the MPG before going to the Michelins. the Conti's were slippery feeling and I see they are rated LRR, which I knew nothing about at the time. The mpg dropped w/ the Michelins... especially with lower pressure.
