5 out of 5 stars review

The new tread design is state of the art, that goes with the long lasting tread wear they advertise for LT or EV vehicles.

I've had these tires on for a week, since swapping my winter tires. The handling is outstanding., the smooth feeling on the steering wheel is outstanding, it's early days yet, but I have faith in Michelin and the Defender platinum tires I bought. Do yourself huge favor and get your Michelin tires ASAP.

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 !!

Comfort & Longevity Bundled In

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Glad that I chose this set for my SUV, Appreciable improvement in mileage as well as better comfort specially for long drives. Great longevity inspite of heavy duty use that I put my SUV through, with cutting edge aesthetics. I am enjoying the quiet and comfortable rides after I changed to this set of 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!!

Excellent Tires

Bought these tires last month for my 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD that has a 3" front 2" rear lift. I explored all types and brands of tires, but based on past experience, I have never been disappointed with Michelin tires. Went with the 275/65/20's to replace my factory GY 265/60/20's. Tires fit great, no rubbing. Michelin's track straight and way better ride! 3,000 mile round trip, towing a cargo trailer from Utah to Tennessee. Highway, speeds, hot weather, and a few rain and thunderstorms, no issues. Ride home, minus the trailer, about 1- 1.5 mpg better than the GY's, even with the larger tire size. We'll see how they do in the fall on dirt/fire roads, and this winter.

Does not deserve the Defender name

I would like to preface the review to a comparison of the former defenders I've used over the last 20 years. I personally believe Michelin failed with this tire. The economy, ride noise, ride and traction are lacking horribly compared to its predecessor, the MS2. I purchased these tires and had 2 of them go bad at 36,000 miles. They replaced all four and now I may be having the same issue with another tire. If the only advantage is a 70000 mile warranty, it was not worth it and I hope they bring the real defenders back.

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!

Love them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tires, perfect addition to really make your truck stand out. They do feel platinum and pricey definitely worth the buy. If you are going to buy tires might as well get the good ones! Definitely recommend
