Defender LTX Platinum Customer Reviews
2500
Tires do not do well on wet roads
R1T
These tires have offered a much smoother and quieter ride as well as higher efficiency than the OEM tires they replaced. Really pleased with them
Sierra 2500 HD
Tires are noisy and rough riding. The prior Defender model was much better. Would not buy these again
F-250
I have used these towing and regular driving. Traction in wet conditions is atrocious. I am not a heavy footed driver. Truck skids on takeoff and even skids shifting at times (even shifting at highway speeds). I’m a lifelong Michelin customer but these tires are not worth the money. Very disappointing.
F-250
Some questions are N/A. I never get the mileage because I drive less than 10k a year. The heat in the desert only allows for 3-4 years before dry sets in
