Great on Cybertruck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was provided these tires by Michelin to try on my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck AWD. I can say that after >5,000 miles I am very pleased. Both my wife and I feel that they are quieter and smoother than the OEM tires. TeslaFi.com statistics are showing that the efficiency is somewhat better than the OEM tires but perhaps less than the 'street' tires Telsa is supposedly coming out with later. Given that Teslas notoriously eat tires because of their weight and torque an owners propensity to 'launch' them, I am thrilled with the 70k mile warranty. When new, the tread depth was 14/32. After >5k miles, they appear to be about 12.5/32. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I will leave that to the real tire guys.

Best tires

These are great tires, it is the newest Michelin tires,,,they are much better than the previous design. they ride smooth and have longer lasting tread life.

Great for Winters!

Incredible tire, Especially in NE Ohio/Western Pa winters I wish they made this tire in every size, tread life is freakin great, performed outstanding in deep snow and ice, if you got kids or commute in areas with deep snow and you’re really worried about safety, grip, and reliability. This is the tire. This is not ai lol 100% recommend. I drive a full size 22 Tundra.

Awesome tires

Purchased these tires to replace the original tires on my 2022 Toyota Tundra. Look fantastic (I think they are a definite upgrade in appearance and function over the original Yokohama tires.) Great price with Sam’s Club as well along with the road hazard warranty.

Platinum Defender Tires

My ride is much smoother in my truck than when I bought it new.

Quiet Ride

Bought these for my 2023 Tundra. I’ve only had them for a couple of weeks, but I can definitely say that they are the quietest tires I’ve ever had. And they look great too!

Overall ride and handling plus extremely quiet

The Defender's exceeded my expectations. I have ran Michelin tires for twenty years plus. This tire takes the F250 Ford to a new level of ride and quietness.

To early to give a better opinion.

I only purchased these tires because the you no longer make the Defender LTX M/S2 in my size. I had the Defender M/S2's on my truck for 5 yrs and they were the best tires I ever owned. I just put the Platinum's on a week ago because I switched to Continental's but the ride after 60 mph wasn't the best. The Platinum's are good after 60 mph but a little rough at slow speeds.

Tire skips while turning at slow speed

Tires skip when turning at slow speed, like truck is in 4wd on dry pavement but it's not. Had it aligned to thorn specs but still skips…very annoying for a tire this expensive.

TERRIBLE Tires

I have had Michelin tires on all my trucks over the years, these new ones are not the same. Bought 2 in July and 2 in November, truck was shaking bad. Back to Discount tire and the road force value was 40-50 on two of them. Replaced and problem came back within 2 week. Since then they have replaced all 4 again, problem is back. Took to the dealership, nothing wrong with the truck, it's the tires again. Not a happy customer.
