Unhappy

So I purchased these 10/25/25 after reading every review I could find. I made a conscious decision to go with these over the OEM Michelin Defender LTX I had 60000 miles on. The Platiums are quieter and look really good and come with 70000 mile warranty. But they had a few reviews that stated they pick up debris in the new tread design. I was going through a clean paved intersection in the city and picked up a 3/4 in bolt in the tread, Before I could stop it pushed all the way into the tire. It let us stranded. My wife and I are handicapped so I called Michelin Roadside assistance to change the tire. The location link they sent me didn't work, so I sent them a Google Maps Pin drop. I completed the call, all is good. I received a text say 30-85 min ETA. A hour in I called to check the repair trucks location. I was told it was canceled and they would dispatch another repair truck, he stated he would call me right back once he had the paperwork completed. Another hour went by and no call. ( By this time I had called Ford's roadside assistance) The Ford repair truck was on seen when Michelin called back. I get that tires are not bullet proof and it was just the right object at the right time that got stuck in the newly designed tread pattern. But the roadside service was horrible and wasn't ran from the United States. I was extremely polite, there was no reason I shouldn't have received a call when they canceled the repair truck. Unacceptable business practice. Even more so they knew we were handicapped I am very concerned that I just spent close to 2000.00 for tires that are going to give me 70000 miles of trouble. I now am questioning the materials and construction of the new design. The specifications state they are equivalent to 10 ply tires. 30 days in and had to replace one already. I don't think so.

Disappointing

Bought these a couple of weeks ago. Might be good if you never leave pavement, but of all the tires I have owned, they clog with gravel worse than any other tire I have bought. They ride very quietly when clear, but the block tread allows rocks to enter making them very noisy back on the asphalt. Even at beyond highway speeds they will not clear. If you leave the road for any reason, be ready to listen to the sound of popcorn in your tires until you get out and manually clear them... This has led to minor visible damage to the tread in less than 200 miles. On the bright side, maybe the rock "studs" will make them good for ice...

Dissatisfied, sorry to read of your disappointment. Remember, as part of the Michelin Promise Plan, there is a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Simply return to the selling retailer for the tires to be swapped out. Have them give us a call with questions.

I have been running these tires for almost a month now. I have driven in town, interstate, rain, snow, and dry road conditions. So far, they have done nothing but impress! If you are on the fence about tires, you really should consider these!

Very Impressed

Beyond impressed with these so far. I immediately replaced the trash bridgestones that came on my sierra 1500 brand new. These are quiet, handle well and grip quite well. Can't go wrong with Michelin!

Best on road tire out there!

This is the most outstanding tire I have ever driven on. It has performed in snow and rain like nothing else. My driveway is gravel and 200 feet long up a steep hill. I usually can not make it up in the snow. This tire goes up and down it like it's dry out. Very quiet and comfortable ride on the highway.

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

Well engineered tire!

I’ve had these on my F-350 for a month now and I absolutely love them! Very stable side to side and they really grip in the snow. So quiet, too. I’m looking forward to pulling my fifth wheel with them next summer!

Excellent tire!!

Bought these for my 2024 ram 2500 as the factory tires aren't very good. Was a little hesitant at 1st cause they are so new. They are excellent!! Been 10 degrees here in michigan with tons of snow. Excellent in snow!! Very quite on the road.
