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!

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. Those wore like iron, great traction in any weather, and never had vibration issues. They are very smooth on the highway even though they are heavy duty . Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Fantastic Tire! Great job Michelin

Decided to give this tire a try on my GMC 2500HD and they have exceeded my expectations! Drove over 100 miles on ice covered roads and the truck handled amazing! The truck is glued to the road on dry pavement and handled amazing on wet roads. Would recommend this tire to anyone.

Great Allrounder Tires

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great tires that are all-rounder for light weight trucks. The treads are great and will easily last longer than other tires. These are pretty standard with 20" rims so you don't have to change the rims as well. The road noise is not much, but it depends on what you put these on. if you put these on Jeep with 20" rims, then as the jeep itself is noisy, these will make more noise. but if you put it on Ford F150, then the noise is not much. It feels great to drive on these tires and can be sure that it would navigate through anything that in not Mud or Snow. these tires does lack little grip in rain, but that would be any tire. all in all great tires, nothing to complain. you get what you pay.

25,000 mile review - an incredible tire!

An absolutely incredible tire! I bought these for my 2022 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition. The OEM tires were down to the treadwear indicators at 25,000 miles so I was going to replace them with the Michelin LTX, but rep offered these. I left in a horrible rainstorm that I drove in for 40 miles. They handled amazingly through heavy rain. They are phenomenal in rain. I pulled an RV & tractor with 80 PSI in them, and even did some 4 wheel drive on dirt. I keep them at 35 PSI for normal driving. I've done plenty of city, highway, some off road, many days above 100 degrees. Again, superior traction, handling, and they are quiet! The best part is I now have 25,000 miles on them and they are all at 12/32. That's incredible since my OEM were worn out at 25,000 miles. I am not changing. I just wish they made this tire for the Toyota Sequoia Capstone!

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.

Great on Cybertruck!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was provided these tires by Michelin to try on my 2024 Tesla Cybertruck AWD. I can say that after >5,000 miles I am very pleased. Both my wife and I feel that they are quieter and smoother than the OEM tires. TeslaFi.com statistics are showing that the efficiency is somewhat better than the OEM tires but perhaps less than the 'street' tires Telsa is supposedly coming out with later. Given that Teslas notoriously eat tires because of their weight and torque an owners propensity to 'launch' them, I am thrilled with the 70k mile warranty. When new, the tread depth was 14/32. After >5k miles, they appear to be about 12.5/32. I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I will leave that to the real tire guys.

Amazing Tires!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires are truly awesome! The tires look great with the new tread pattern. And my Jeep Wrangler has been riding extra smooth and quiet thanks to the full ring velour sidewall. Perfect tires for all that living in Louisiana brings!

Very nice tires!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although I always knew t good tires made a difference my wife never believed me! Well after driving the truck with the new tires she was shocked!! She couldn’t believe the difference especially when driving in the rain. She said she it felt smoother and safer. The only problem is now she wants to drive the truck instead of her car . Great tires!!

Night and Day Difference!!

I bought this tire to replace the Scorpions that came on my Rivian R1S. The Scorpions were off-road tires and, before buying the Michelins, I had no idea just how much the tires were contributing to my lack of enjoyment of the Rivian. It seemed loud, harsh, noisy and generally uncomfortable. The Defender LTX’s have made a night and day difference. They look good, they are smooth, and they make the ride unbelievably less harsh. I LOVE them thus far!!
