Bought for 2021 3500HD Denali. Dry roads and excellent ride! Next day 4” wet snow with road ice falling temp -10-20C! Tires in 2wheel drive was below average so require 4WD stop and start! Note: I use studded winter tires in Alberta Canada!!

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!

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.

Nice tire

I purchased these tires three months ago for my 2002 Explorer Sport. They are quiet and have good traction.

Quiet, stable

We noticed the difference between our old Wranglers immediately. These Defenders are much quieter and more stable.

Amazing Tire

I just purchased these and replaced my Worn out Michelin tires. We now have Michelins on both vehicles.
