Stability and reliability

We tow a gooseneck horse trailer and just replaced our old Michelin tires with these new ones..the stability in this snowy winter was amazing and the necessity for a totally reliable tire while towing beloved horses is paramount..we will always buy Michelins

30000 miles and I'm still at 70 percent tread life. Amazing tires. I'll never buy anything else. I'm pulling a 42 ft fifth wheel. It has great traction and I have peace of mind.

Dissatisfied

I have been using these tires on my f250 work truck before I could get 90-100,000 out of them (highway miles) this last set i struggled to get 68,000 and all wore differently 2 are down to 2 one is a 4 and the other is a 5. The 2 are on one side, my truck has been checked out and right before these tires were put on my front end was rebuilt. So that is a factor for the amout of money that it cost me for these tires I should have gotten more out of them.

Not any better than any other tire.

Don't expect any warrant support for a defective tire. They will just claim it's your fault. This tire blew out of no where without hitting anything. This is my first and last set of Michelins. Also, don't expect any good faith discount to be easy, they want you to jump thru hoops. Picture of your registration, of the tire installed, receipts. Not a good customer experience compared to other brands.

TAKE A LOOK!!

I had 60,000 miles on my Michelin LTX A/T2. 275/65/20. I replaced them with Michelin LTX Defender Platinum. The specifications, construction, and materials of these two models are almost indestructible. They are compatible with OEM. The performance is phenomenal! I have had no problems with the tread hold rocks yet. When going over a bump or hump they do seem to be slightly stiffer, but highway driving is quite and very smooth. The tread design is like no other tire. The velure sidewall is clean and very noticeable. I no longer have to keep white letters clean, big plus for someone that is extremely picky about there truck and doesn't have the time.

Next Level of Awesomeness!

I will add pics soon, these tires are on whole other level! 1st thing I noticed is that they are extremely quiet I mean like insanely quiet! I found noises inside my cab that I have never heard before. secondly, something stood out was the faster you are driving the more the tires want to stay straight ahead you can actually feel the resistance if you were to slightly move the wheel. This obviously must have to do with the stange tread. and third cornering, my truck weighs over 8k in traffic circles, tight turns I have much less body roll. These tires are insanely cool! I have not had inclement weather to test them however i did test them in wet locations from a stop aggressively throttled and noticed no spin. Very smooth on our dirt road with aggressive turning no skidding. I have already noticed very low rolling resistance I will document my MPG savings as well as bad weather driving as have the chance. I have a feeling these tires are going to become the next best thing especially for EV's. My Tires are 295/65/R20 Load range E. These tires are 35's and will fit stock height 2021 GMC2500HD's No modification necessary.

Amazing Tires!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires are truly awesome! The tires look great with the new tread pattern. And my Jeep Wrangler has been riding extra smooth and quiet thanks to the full ring velour sidewall. Perfect tires for all that living in Louisiana brings!

Difficulty with balancing

Switch from defenders ltx to this tires. Had to come back 3 times to rebalance, as it was impossible to drive over 65 due to vibration. Road forced balancing numbers always high. Had to replace 3 out of 4 tires just to get acceptable level of drivability. Still feels less than perfect on highway speeds. Very disappointing.

Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires have been great so far. They so cool to look at they have the mud snow look but they are so quiet! No howling down the road. I also took them up to the snow and had no issues! They have great traction

Looks great on a 4x4 truck

I just put these on a 2004 4x4 truck.... Smooth, quiet, ride and performs excellent in wet and light snowy roads so far. Best of all they came in the exact size I was looking for, and have a more aggressive look which fits exactly with the truck Awesome.
