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.

Disappointing

I have ran Michelin tyres on all my pickups. LTX was preferred until the production stopped. I moved to the Platinum Series as recommended. Since original purchase, another set was installed. Each set the attempt to get the tyres balanced is ongoing. Two different companies have attempted to balance. Road force as well as typical balce has been performed. It feels like the tyres are out of balance or round. I am very disappointed in the overall performance of this tyre series. Road noise is much more than the LTX, ride in my opinion is rougher, fuel economy is not close to the LTX series and balancing and staying balanced is frustrating. My pickup is on the highway daily, dependability, performance and ride are must. The michelin defender platinum does not meet expectations. Mike Mike Perry

Great Tires

Got a set of these for my 2013 f-150 Best tires I ever had. Got them balanced & rotated every 5,000 miles. I got 98,000 miles out of them. Got another set a few months so I hope these last the same. With this new set I noticed they hold small rocks in the tread that the first set never did. Must be a small difference in the tread.

Fantastic Tire! Great job Michelin

Decided to give this tire a try on my GMC 2500HD and they have exceeded my expectations! Drove over 100 miles on ice covered roads and the truck handled amazing! The truck is glued to the road on dry pavement and handled amazing on wet roads. Would recommend this tire to anyone.

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.

Worst Tires Ever

By far the worst tires I ever bought. Three different merchants tried road force balancing with no luck. I will never purchase Michelin tires again. I don't normally leave reviews but this time I made an exception.

Not Impressed

Ram 2500 Longhorn. 5000 miles on Michigan roads ride is exceptional on dry roads. Snow and ice performance is terrible how this tire met M+S rating is puzzling . For the premium cost I would not purchase again .

Great tires!

Very smooth ride. And really good traction so far after 3 months of service. These are the best tires I have had on my 2016 2500 HD Chevrolet diesel. The only negative so far is when I run on gravel roads the tread can pick up small gravel.

Great tire

Could tell a big difference in the ride as soon as I hit the road after installation. Much smoother and quieter than the All Terrain's I had replaced. The traction during the rain has been great.
