Review - Michelin Defender LTX Platinum Tires - Cyberbeast

[btcrealm]

I apologize if this has been answered and I missed it, but which one has better range, the LTX Plat or the ATs?

At this point from the experience of the people with them, the LTX Plat will last quite a bit longer.
Many of us are around 30k and need replacements on the original ATs.


Also an interesting competitor that a Rivian dual motor recently put up a review on are the Nokian Outpost NAT LT285/65/R20. I've reached out to the company for additional information but I don't think they will have the road capabilities. They are much more aggressive on the tread for an AT. I will likely end up with the LTX Platinums soon.

My apologies, I meant, is there a difference in the range you can get on a charge compared to the other tire.

I believe the OEM All Terrain have slightly better range than the platinums… but if you go that route, you will lose significant dollars due to their lower lifespan.

Incorrect. Read my first post. LTX Plats are at least 10% more efficient that OEM AT's. I shared the data.

See my very first post. The LTX Plats are at least 10% more efficient than the Stock AT's

I’m sorry… I was referring to the Pirellis. My bad.

Yep AS's are more efficient than the LTX Plats. AT's, less so than the LTX Plats. AS's aren't gonna be your off-road tire tho and I dont love the way the look. Plat is happy middle.

I agree... although I did quite a bit of off-roading in my Pirelli's while hunting on 500 acres in West Texas and didn't have a problem at all.

Later that same season on the same property, I was driving the south fence line when I saw a buck about 200 yards down the line. I put the truck in park, opened my door, grabbed the 270 from the bed, used the side mirror as a rest, and made a nice heart shot. He was staring at the truck wondering, "What the hell is that?"

And now all his deer friends who watched in horror hate cybertrucks and read torque news.

Glad I found this thread. I put on a set of K03s and saw noticeable decreased range after a Houston to Fort Worth trip. Aside from that, I love the look of the beefy tread. I am swapping out for the Michelin’s once Discount gets them in stock since I am on the road much more than not.

I'm going to get the LTX Plats. It will be a week or two though as Costco doesn't stock them and has to order.

I looked more into the Nokian Outpost and really they would be a better competition for BFG AT KO2 tires. It was just the first couple reviews I found that were apparently overly optimistic about them on the road side of things. LoL

Double check that your Costco installs on Cybertrucks. Not all of them do. I had to call around until I found one that did.

BTW, I went with the Bridgestone Duellers. So far, they have been a vast improvement from the stock Pirelli's.

Please update us here as you get some miles on the Bridgestones. Looks like a nice option for light off-roading without as much of a range penalty as the BFG K03s. BTW I really like the BFG KO3s on my dad's ICE truck, mpg increased approx 15% (13-14 to 15-16 mpg) but have not decided if I want to get a more AT-oriented tire than the OEM Goodyear ATs once my OEM Pirellis wear out. TIA!
