Best Tires Ever

These are the best tires for traction, road noise, ride comfort and looks I’ve ever had. They are worth every penny!

I purchased a set of 4 for my 2024 Chevrolet 2500 Duramax over all they are great tires 3 of the 4 did not take any weight when they balanced them since then i have put 50,000 miles on them and there are still 2 with no weight. They have 10/32 on them now looking like i will get over 100,000 miles out of them. I do a lot of high way driving with a flatbed goose neck trailer. They are not the best in mud but we don't get a lot of rain in the Texas panhandle.

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.

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

TERRIBLE Tires

I have had Michelin tires on all my trucks over the years, these new ones are not the same. Bought 2 in July and 2 in November, truck was shaking bad. Back to Discount tire and the road force value was 40-50 on two of them. Replaced and problem came back within 2 week. Since then they have replaced all 4 again, problem is back. Took to the dealership, nothing wrong with the truck, it's the tires again. Not a happy customer.

Awful with any moisture.

The wet weather performance on these tires have left me greatly disappointed. I have used Michelin Defender 2s the two times prior to this on the same truck and loved it. If I could return these, I would. They slip every opportunity they get with a minimal amount of moisture on the ground. They are not quite as smooth as the older defender 2 either. I waited this long to post as we are just now getting to our wet season and I was hoping it was just a fluke. The only reason I give them 2 stars. They look great but I would like my very expensive tires to live up to the brand capabilities.

Very Poor Traction On Snowy Roads

Bought these to replace factory Michelin Defender LTX’s on my ‘22 Super Duty, which were great and lasted over 60K miles. They are fine on dry pavement, but downright scary on snow covered roads, where the LTX was surprisingly solid. So bad, in fact, that I am considering replacing them after only about 10K miles. I love Michelin tires and would use nothing else on my Audi, but these are subpar.

We’re sorry to hear that the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires haven’t met your expectations in snowy conditions, especially given your positive experience with previous Defender LTX tires. While traction can vary based on road conditions, vehicle setup and driving factors, we understand how concerning it is to feel uncertain behind the wheel. We’d encourage you to visit a local Michelin dealer for an inspection and to discuss options that may better suit your driving needs. You’re also welcome to contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) for additional assistance.

Shakes

Total junk! Not what I’ve always expected from Michelin. They have been balanced 3 times, twice was road force. They balance out but the truck still shakes the steering wheel. They have done this since they were installed. 2018 Chevy 2500 HD. Less than 500 miles and I’m contemplating buying another brand.

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.
