Defender LTX Platinum TIRE REVIEW

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.
