Michelin Defender LTX Platinum


Michelin Defender LTX Platinum

Outclass (and outlast) them all with the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum. Michelin’s latest LT tire, the Platinum combines both luxury comfort and heavy-duty truck performance!

Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Features

With the newest addition to the Defender family of tires, heavy duty doesn’t have to mean rough riding!

The Michelin Defender LTX Platinum is a new class of heavy-duty truck tire developed for luxury pickup trucks. You can expect exceptional tread life paired with cutting edge aesthetics and performance!

Michelin maximizes this tire’s potential with a new tread pattern and compound that are specifically inspired by their heavy truck tech, improving both durability and grip in inclement weather for wet and snowy conditions.

The Defender LTX Platinum also comes in a range of sizes to fit your luxury pickup, including the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. In addition, the all-season tread pattern boasts high utility with 3D siping and notched central grooves to keep your footing in foul weather.

Other features of the Michelin Defender LTX Platinum include:

  • Its ultra premium tread design with a striking velour sidewall offers an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, quiet ride for the life of the tire.

  • An all-season tread design with the M+S severe weather rating make this Defender tire a year-round top pick for wet and snow traction.

  • The long lasting and durable EverTread compound lasts twice as long as previous models when tested on diesel trucks!

  • This tire’s tough, heavy duty construction is EV compatible!

Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Treadwear & Warranty

Michelin backs the Defender LTX Platinum with the Michelin Promise Plan for 60-day satisfaction guarantee and roadside assistance, plus a 70,000-mile warranty! And all Michelin tires come with a Standard Manufacturer’s Limited Warranty covering defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread.

And for the driver who wants protection that goes beyond the mileage, consider our industry-leading tire protection coverage. If your new Michelin tires are damaged beyond safe repair, we’ll provide you with a brand new replacement tire—no questions asked.

You can add our Certificates in your cart!

Go the distance boldly with the long-lasting, heavy duty luxury Michelin Defender LTX Platinum truck tire!

        Great tire for towing a travel trailer. They are Quiet, excellent in wet weather, very little wear over 11,000 miles. Will buy another set on a RAM 2500 HD pickup....IF...they ever wear out!
