The best ever

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

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

Great tires 8/25/25

Great looking tires. Have a bit more sidewall bite then the stock tire. Great in the rain.. Excited to give them a run this winter. Quiet no road noise. I prefer the blackwall 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.

Quiet, overall traction very good. Not a knobby winter tire but good overall in snow.

Replaced first set of Defenders with new Defender after 6 years of great performance. Although had only 62k on them I was traveling more and recent flat from10mm bolt said time to move on

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.

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.

Rick, Thank you for sharing your concerns—it's completely understandable to be cautious when considering a new tire. The Defender LTX Platinum is built for heavy-duty trucks like your Sierra 2500, with a focus on long tread life and solid traction. While some folks mention noise or ride feel, most reviews are really positive—especially for durability. Hope this helps with your decision! If you would like further information, feel free to give our Consumer Care team a call. You can reach us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Noisy Tores

These tires are pretty noisy I returned to the dealer and was told the tires were fine and the slapping noise would subside with mileage. Never experienced that with a new Michelin tire before
