Great tires!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having good tires really makes a difference in the ride of your vehicle. These tires rode really smooth with great grip, even in the rain! They look really good on my Dodge Durango; stylish and durable. These are my first Michelin brand tires and I am really loving them so far! We actually had some ice on the roads down here in Mississippi, and these tires did great!

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the smoothest riding tires I have ever owned. They are well worth the price the cost and most places I looked they are sold out. I highly recommend paying a bit extra and getting these platinum tires. I will never go back to another kind on my truck!

Might be the best Defender to date

My 2024 Silverado 3500HD came with Goodyears.......I should have taken them off at the Dealer and had a set of Defender LTX Platinums put on from day one. I like a few of you scratched my head at this new tread design, but I have never been let down by Michelin Tires. I had the last tire issue with the factory Goodyears and pulled all of them and had four Defender LTX Platinums put on. Here is after about 3000 miles of driving on them. Much quieter, better mileage are the first things I noticed. My fears of how the tire would handle rain came very abruptly one afternoon. I was on the freeway doing 70mph and a cloud burst hit the freeway. The tires locked me to the road, I felt no disconnect to the road which gave me time to slow down. I use these for towing our Airstream and like the handling of the sidewalls. The tire gives you support but also gives you a comfortable ride. This might be the best Defender I have ever purchased.

Comfortable, quiet and great mileage.

Had just tried the BFG HD Terrain and returned them within 10 days to replace them with the LTX Platinum. What a difference. Totally quiet and comfortable with plenty of grip. They look great and am curious to see how they hold up. HD Terrain got 12.6 MPG These are 17.7 under same conditions. BFG K02 was 14.3.

Great on Cybertruck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was provided these tires by Michelin to try on my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck AWD. I can say that after >5,000 miles I am very pleased. Both my wife and I feel that they are quieter and smoother than the OEM tires. TeslaFi.com statistics are showing that the efficiency is somewhat better than the OEM tires but perhaps less than the 'street' tires Telsa is supposedly coming out with later. Given that Teslas notoriously eat tires because of their weight and torque an owners propensity to 'launch' them, I am thrilled with the 70k mile warranty. When new, the tread depth was 14/32. After >5k miles, they appear to be about 12.5/32. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I will leave that to the real tire guys.

Happy with my purchase

Just purchased today after my original Goodyear tires lasted 68,000 miles I'm excited to see how these perform. So far very well. Very smooth and quiet with heavy rain on the ride home from the tire store, I thought that they performed really well compared to the Goodyear trail runners on wet roads. I'll will keep my review updated if anything changes.

The new tread design is state of the art, that goes with the long lasting tread wear they advertise for LT or EV vehicles.

I’ve had these tires on for a week, since swapping my winter tires. The handling is outstanding., the smooth feeling on the steering wheel is outstanding, it’s early days yet, but I have faith in Michelin and the Defender platinum tires I bought. Do yourself huge favor and get your Michelin tires ASAP.

Excellent Ride!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires are super smooth and quiet on the highway. I travel between 5-8k miles a month for work and I absolutely love these tires! I will most definitely add these to my rotation! I hope that the mileage matches the ride quality! Super impressed overall so far!

Impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thoroughly impressed and pleased with these tires. This set of four Michelin Defender LTX Platinum exceeded my expectations thoroughly! They have great durability and tread life and provided a quiet ride on our truck. I like how they provided safety in winter when driving on ice and can also perform nicely when going off road for camping. Overall, a high quality set of tires that gives my ride a long tire life due to the heavy duty construction, I liked the how they handled very smoothly. and appreciate the longevity. I'd definitely recommend the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum!

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.
