Vibration nightmare

I purchased the tires in June and have been fighting a vibration from day one. We have rotated and balance the tires 5 times. We have also done an alignment, trying to narrow down the issue. We have narrowed the vibration down to 2 bad tires. :-(

AMAZING TIRE!

I'VE HAD THESE TIRES FOR 15 MONTHS AND THEY ARE AMAZING! EXTRA SMOOTH RIDE, GOOD HANDLING, GREAT IN RAIN. THESE TIRES RIDE SMOOTH AT 85MPH LIKE YOU'RE RUNNING 40MPH. I HAVE OVER 40,000 MILES ON THEM AND THEY STILL LOOK NEW, RIDE AND HANDLE NEW!

Very Impressed

Beyond impressed with these so far. I immediately replaced the trash bridgestones that came on my sierra 1500 brand new. These are quiet, handle well and grip quite well. Can't go wrong with Michelin!

Great experience

I’m not sure why some of these people are talking about. I’ve had nothing but great performance from these tires. 2016 Duramax 4x4. Rain. Great. Dirt road. Great. Just experience some snow and I thought they performed really well.

I have been running these tires for almost a month now. I have driven in town, interstate, rain, snow, and dry road conditions. So far, they have done nothing but impress! If you are on the fence about tires, you really should consider these!

Terrible in any snow.

The good news is these tires will last 70k miles. That’s also the bad news. Six inches of fresh CO powder and my truck won’t move on flat ground in 2wd and even has a problem pulling out in 4wd. OUCH!

BCsilverado, thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience with the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires. The Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires are designed to provide exceptional performance in a variety of conditions, including wet and dry roads, as well as light snow. However, it is essential to acknowledge that no all-season tire can match the performance of specialized winter tires in severe winter conditions, such as deep or soft snow. For optimal winter driving safety and performance, we recommend considering dedicated winter tires, which are specifically engineered to handle harsher conditions and provide superior traction in snow and ice. Winter tires are made with a unique rubber compound and tread design that remains effective at lower temperatures. We understand that your safety is paramount, and we want to ensure you have the best driving experience possible. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.

I was amazed at the difference with these tires from the LTZ. It does, in fact, ride smoother for a truck
