TERRIBLE Tires

I have had Michelin tires on all my trucks over the years, these new ones are not the same. Bought 2 in July and 2 in November, truck was shaking bad. Back to Discount tire and the road force value was 40-50 on two of them. Replaced and problem came back within 2 week. Since then they have replaced all 4 again, problem is back. Took to the dealership, nothing wrong with the truck, it's the tires again. Not a happy customer.

Awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These tires have been great so far. They so cool to look at they have the mud snow look but they are so quiet! No howling down the road. I also took them up to the snow and had no issues! They have great traction

Verified Purchase

Great look and ride.

Great ride. Very quiet. 2020 Silverado RST 3.0L Duramax. I can actually hear the baby diesel now and my previous radio volume setting had to be turned down after these tires were put on. Previous tires were the Toyo Open Country AT3. I did not realize how loud these tires were before I put the Michelins on.

Disappointing

I have ran Michelin tyres on all my pickups. LTX was preferred until the production stopped. I moved to the Platinum Series as recommended. Since original purchase, another set was installed. Each set the attempt to get the tyres balanced is ongoing. Two different companies have attempted to balance. Road force as well as typical balce has been performed. It feels like the tyres are out of balance or round. I am very disappointed in the overall performance of this tyre series. Road noise is much more than the LTX, ride in my opinion is rougher, fuel economy is not close to the LTX series and balancing and staying balanced is frustrating. My pickup is on the highway daily, dependability, performance and ride are must. The michelin defender platinum does not meet expectations. Mike Mike Perry

Michelin Fan

Purchased these tires only one week ago.. So far I'm impressed with the smooth ride, handling and how quiet they are. I'll post another review after I put 10,000 miles or so on them. BTW... I've purchased Michelin tires for over 45 years; Class 8 trucks, trailers and plenty of passenger vehicles... never had an issue whatsoever.

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.

Shaking my brains out.

Purchased 4 tires and had lots of issues. They will not balance correctly. Replaced 2 in 3 months because I was told they were out of round from the factory. Road forced balanced all again and truck is still shaking. I have been a fan of these before they redesigned them but not since. Not a happy customer.

Dissatisfied

I have been using these tires on my f250 work truck before I could get 90-100,000 out of them (highway miles) this last set i struggled to get 68,000 and all wore differently 2 are down to 2 one is a 4 and the other is a 5. The 2 are on one side, my truck has been checked out and right before these tires were put on my front end was rebuilt. So that is a factor for the amout of money that it cost me for these tires I should have gotten more out of them.

Awful with any moisture.

The wet weather performance on these tires have left me greatly disappointed. I have used Michelin Defender 2s the two times prior to this on the same truck and loved it. If I could return these, I would. They slip every opportunity they get with a minimal amount of moisture on the ground. They are not quite as smooth as the older defender 2 either. I waited this long to post as we are just now getting to our wet season and I was hoping it was just a fluke. The only reason I give them 2 stars. They look great but I would like my very expensive tires to live up to the brand capabilities.

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!
