Another high quality Michelin tire

Excellent tires especially under snowy and slick conditions. Tread is more aggressive so I have notice a decrease in mpg but knew this when upgrading to this tire

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.

Great Tires

Got a set of these for my 2013 f-150 Best tires I ever had. Got them balanced & rotated every 5,000 miles. I got 98,000 miles out of them. Got another set a few months so I hope these last the same. With this new set I noticed they hold small rocks in the tread that the first set never did. Must be a small difference in the tread.

Not any better than any other tire.

Don’t expect any warrant support for a defective tire. They will just claim it’s your fault. This tire blew out of no where without hitting anything. This is my first and last set of Michelins. Also, don’t expect any good faith discount to be easy, they want you to jump thru hoops. Picture of your registration, of the tire installed, receipts. Not a good customer experience compared to other brands.

TAKE A LOOK!!

I had 60,000 miles on my Michelin LTX A/T2. 275/65/20. I replaced them with Michelin LTX Defender Platinum. The specifications, construction, and materials of these two models are almost indestructible. They are compatible with OEM. The performance is phenomenal! I have had no problems with the tread hold rocks yet. When going over a bump or hump they do seem to be slightly stiffer, but highway driving is quite and very smooth. The tread design is like no other tire. The velure sidewall is clean and very noticeable. I no longer have to keep white letters clean, big plus for someone that is extremely picky about there truck and doesn't have the time.

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

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.

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.

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
