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 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.

Platinum Defender Tires

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

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.

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.

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!

I purchased a set of 4 for my 2024 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax over all they are great tires 3 of the 4 did not take any weight when they balanced them since then i have put 50,000 miles on them and there are still 2 with no weight. They have 10/32 on them now looking like i will get over 100,000 miles out of them. I do a lot of high way driving with a flatbed goose neck trailer. They are not the best in mud but we don't get a lot of rain in the Texas panhandle.

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.

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.

Very Poor Traction On Snowy Roads

Bought these to replace factory Michelin Defender LTX’s on my ‘22 Super Duty, which were great and lasted over 60K miles. They are fine on dry pavement, but downright scary on snow covered roads, where the LTX was surprisingly solid. So bad, in fact, that I am considering replacing them after only about 10K miles. I love Michelin tires and would use nothing else on my Audi, but these are subpar.

We’re sorry to hear that the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires haven’t met your expectations in snowy conditions, especially given your positive experience with previous Defender LTX tires. While traction can vary based on road conditions, vehicle setup and driving factors, we understand how concerning it is to feel uncertain behind the wheel. We’d encourage you to visit a local Michelin dealer for an inspection and to discuss options that may better suit your driving needs. You’re also welcome to contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) for additional assistance.
