Verified Purchase

Defender LTX Platinum 265/60/R20

Have only one week seen on my 2023 Tundra CrewMax HY, so far so good, like the aggressive look and smooth ride

Excellent tires

The tires were pricey, but very quiet on the highway, very good traction in the rain & also snow

Poor Wet Traction

Poor traction on wet pavement, average on light snow. Paid way too much for this tire to get mediocre performance.

The best ever

Excellent, smooth riding and handling. This set may just be the best set of Michelins that I've ever bought.

Smooth ride.

First 2500 miles have been outstanding. These tires are smoother, quieter and drive more precisely than the factory installed Goodyears. The ride quality is outstanding for a heavier truck. 2025 GMC Sierra with 6.6 Duramax and 10 speed Allison.

Not happy with the reviews

I have been thinking about buying these for my 2021 gmc 2500 sierra Denali but am concerned with the bad reviews regarding noise and the blowouts. I have the original Goodyears on there now.

LTX Platinum for life!

I purchased these tires looking for smooth and quiet so far they have met those expectations. Haven’t put enough miles on them yet to speak to the durability. I really like the look of these tires.

Hard riding.

These are quiet as they advertise BUT , They are the roughest riding tires i'v ever owned. Let the aie down to 50 psi , That helped a lot but still . No bueno.

Smooth

Smooth ride. Quite ride, performance wise, and quick handling. Touring on a new level. My Platinum is now a contender in road trips. I wish they came stock. I had Nitto’s but these are much better
