Excellent

About 6000 miles on them now (2024 chev 3500HD SRW D-Max). Tires are amazing, I don't think you'll find a quieter, nicer riding HD tire. I read the negative reviews, one said rocks get stuck in them when on gravel, I can personally say that has not been an issue for me. They don't seem to get any more rocks stock than other A/T tire I have used in the past. I've yet to use them in the snow so will update once we get our first snowfall. Love these tires so far.

Great ride

Quiet, smooth and handle great. But, they do love to grab a lot of rocks, and don't like to let them go easy. If you drive a lot of gravel road, might be an issue. I visit construction sites a lot, which are usually graveled. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have noticed it. I drive around all day for business. F250 4DR 6.7L. Have not pulled my trailer yet. These were not my first choice. But, I am very glad I got them. Read a lot of reviews, tire dealer websites and group discussions. These were too new to be on people's radar. Good thing the popular tires were in a supply shortage!

Comfortable, quiet and great mileage.

Had just tried the BFG HD Terrain and returned them within 10 days to replace them with the LTX Platinum. What a difference. Totally quiet and comfortable with plenty of grip. They look great and am curious to see how they hold up. HD Terrain got 12.6 MPG These are 17.7 under same conditions. BFG K02 was 14.3.

Great Value all-terrain tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got these for my husband, and this is his review. "These tires look great and fit perfect for my stock F150. Overall ride is comfortable, and as quiet as can be expected for an all terrain tire. Living in the south we don't get much more than rain, but they have handled some heavy downpours well. Not sure about trails, but for everyday roads and dirt roads these as good as any other tire I've had. Would definitely recommend these if you are in the market."

Great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Came just in time for the snow here. Had no issues overall. It's been over a month since we put them on. Great tread, have used on multiple terrains and no issues. Didn't like having to peel off all the stickers though.

Great tire and good looking !

Bought these a year ago for my 2001 F-250 Super Duty 4X4 lifted 4 inches, to replace my all terrain. I was skeptical and currious about these new threads... What a difference on the road ! These tires stabilized my truck , no more swerving from the old all terrain, no more rumble , no more road noise and comfortable ride. I have been looking for a tire that has style, and Michelin nailed it with this one !! Love these Defender Platinum. Want to replace your noisy rought handling all terrain, with a quiet good looking great handling tire ? This is the one you need !!

Next Level of Awesomeness!

I will add pics soon, these tires are on whole other level! 1st thing I noticed is that they are extremely quiet I mean like insanely quiet! I found noises inside my cab that I have never heard before. secondly, something stood out was the faster you are driving the more the tires want to stay straight ahead you can actually feel the resistance if you were to slightly move the wheel. This obviously must have to do with the stange tread. and third cornering, my truck weighs over 8k in traffic circles, tight turns I have much less body roll. These tires are insanely cool! I have not had inclement weather to test them however i did test them in wet locations from a stop aggressively throttled and noticed no spin. Very smooth on our dirt road with aggressive turning no skidding. I have already noticed very low rolling resistance I will document my MPG savings as well as bad weather driving as have the chance. I have a feeling these tires are going to become the next best thing especially for EV's. My Tires are 295/65/R20 Load range E. These tires are 35's and will fit stock height 2021 GMC2500HD's No modification necessary.

Excellent Ride!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires are super smooth and quiet on the highway. I travel between 5-8k miles a month for work and I absolutely love these tires! I will most definitely add these to my rotation! I hope that the mileage matches the ride quality! Super impressed overall so far!

Might be the best Defender to date

My 2024 Silverado 3500HD came with Goodyears.......I should have taken them off at the Dealer and had a set of Defender LTX Platinums put on from day one. I like a few of you scratched my head at this new tread design, but I have never been let down by Michelin Tires. I had the last tire issue with the factory Goodyears and pulled all of them and had four Defender LTX Platinums put on. Here is after about 3000 miles of driving on them. Much quieter, better mileage are the first things I noticed. My fears of how the tire would handle rain came very abruptly one afternoon. I was on the freeway doing 70mph and a cloud burst hit the freeway. The tires locked me to the road, I felt no disconnect to the road which gave me time to slow down. I use these for towing our Airstream and like the handling of the sidewalls. The tire gives you support but also gives you a comfortable ride. This might be the best Defender I have ever purchased.

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the smoothest riding tires I have ever owned. They are well worth the price the cost and most places I looked they are sold out. I highly recommend paying a bit extra and getting these platinum tires. I will never go back to another kind on my truck!
