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.

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.

Great tired

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing set of tires. They are the perfect fit for my truck and well designed. They look and feel sturdy and drive smoothly without any issues. They have great traction to them and i feel safe with these on my truck.

Phenomenal!

These tires are phenomenal. I recently returned from a 3500 mile road trip and the tires were the smoothest, quietest tires I have ever owned. I live in a heavy snow area so I was a bit skeptical of how they would react in the snow but I was pleasantly surprised. I have plowed my driveway with them several times since I returned with no issues. As far as snow goes at this point I would give them a 4/5 only because I haven't used them enough to really give them a good test. I took off my winter tires and replaced them with these for our road trip but I will likely still run snows since I'm out no matter the weather. I have a 3500 diesel pickup and with these tires I can actually hear the motor regardless of my speed. The only thing I can complain about the tires is that they are so smooth and quiet that I found my speed in the mid 90s if I wasn't using cruise control. Overall the best HD truck tire I have ever owned.
