Great tires!

Very smooth ride. And really good traction so far after 3 months of service. These are the best tires I have had on my 2016 2500 HD Chevrolet diesel. The only negative so far is when I run on gravel roads the tread can pick up small gravel.

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

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.

Smooth ride.

First 2500 miles have been outstanding. These tires are smoother, quieter and drive more precisely than the factory installed Goodyears. The ride quality is outstanding for a heavier truck. 2025 GMC Sierra with 6.6 Duramax and 10 speed Allison.

Great tread design

Great interstate tires since most my driving is from Georgia to Illinois and Wisconsin and wanted a quiet ride compared to tires made for off road use.Did I mention that they handle like a dream driving in downpours. I will purchase these tires again when these ware out in about 50k

Picks up rocks

Tires seem fine but they pick up rocks and sling them against the truck really bad. Ended up utilizing the 60 day exchange program to get a different brand. Tires have large grooves that seemed perfect to pick up driveway gravel. Did not have this issue with previous versions of the LTX/MS tires.

Maybe great tires, but lauder that necessay

Bought a set Michelin Defender LTX Platinum in 265/60R20/E 121/118S for my 2021 GMC Sierra AT4. I was unpleasantly surprised that they are actually louder on the highway than the nearly new Goodyear Wrangler Ultra Terrain AT off-road tires that came on it.

Excellent - Love them!

Bought these to replace the factory tires for my 2022 RAM 3500. Excellent performance on dry and wet pavement and in torrential downpours. Very quiet, very smooth, great while towing or hauling heavy or unloaded. I'm thrilled with them and highly recommend them for anyone with an HD truck used to tow.

Concerned

I am concerned with these tires because I have had 2 unusual incidents that make me feel unsafe in my car. First about 3-6 month old tire and apparently picked up a screw and had no warning, the tire blew up spreading all the around the rim. Second had only about a month no nail, no screw and no apparent damage. Low tire pressure light came on and in seconds the tire blew off leaving a shredded 2 inches around the rim outer and inner wheel. Thankfully both incidents did not damage the rim

Out of round tires

I’ve had these ties on my truck for 7000 miles. Had to replace one that was out of round. Truck still rides worse than ever my tire shop says Michelins doesn’t honor warranty claims so I’m SOL. I cannot stress enough to avoid Michelins tires. This is the 3rd set of Michelins I’ve had in past few years and absolutely the last. First 2 sets lasted under 30,000 miles
