Great experience

I’m not sure why some of these people are talking about. I’ve had nothing but great performance from these tires. 2016 Duramax 4x4. Rain. Great. Dirt road. Great. Just experience some snow and I thought they performed really well.

Look great, handle well in rain and very quiet

Just  got them today so limited miles but they knocked it out of the park on initial handling in rain and road noise. They have a nice AT look but quiet as can be. I had forgot what my 6.2 L engine sounded like until now.

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

Great wet traction on my Tundra

I bought these for my 23 Tundra to replace the factory Yokohamas due to traction issues. These tires did the job. Virtually impossible to accidentally spin them and the wet traction is tremendous. Very quiet tire with a great aggressive look.

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

Vibration nightmare

I purchased the tires in June and have been fighting a vibration from day one. We have rotated and balance the tires 5 times. We have also done an alignment, trying to narrow down the issue. We have narrowed the vibration down to 2 bad tires. :-(

Terrible in any snow.

The good news is these tires will last 70k miles. That’s also the bad news. Six inches of fresh CO powder and my truck won’t move on flat ground in 2wd and even has a problem pulling out in 4wd. OUCH!

BCsilverado, thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience with the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires. The Michelin Defender LTX Platinum tires are designed to provide exceptional performance in a variety of conditions, including wet and dry roads, as well as light snow. However, it is essential to acknowledge that no all-season tire can match the performance of specialized winter tires in severe winter conditions, such as deep or soft snow. For optimal winter driving safety and performance, we recommend considering dedicated winter tires, which are specifically engineered to handle harsher conditions and provide superior traction in snow and ice. Winter tires are made with a unique rubber compound and tread design that remains effective at lower temperatures. We understand that your safety is paramount, and we want to ensure you have the best driving experience possible. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri.

I have been running these tires for almost a month now. I have driven in town, interstate, rain, snow, and dry road conditions. So far, they have done nothing but impress! If you are on the fence about tires, you really should consider these!
