I lowered the tires down to 33 PSI and they seem to be riding much better.

Since these tires "should" be quiet, I'd suggest having your alignment checked, or maybe there is a defective tire.What are your guys experiences Michelin Defenders? I bought a brand new set for my 2019 Lt 20" and I am experience quite a bit of road noise humming once I hit 55 mph

Well I found out what the humming nosie was. It wasnt the tires. I left the bank today and noticed something hanging from underneath the tahoe. As I looked, it ended up being a part # large tag with a zip tie still attached around the ehaust from when they replaced it. They must have forgot to remove it. Humming at higher speeds is all gone lol!!!!!!!!!

That's funny shit right there.
Glad you found what it was though and it was an easy fix!

These were the tires on mine that I replaced. I think you'll be happy replacing them with the Defender LTX's. Tread is deeper and sidewalls are a bit stiffer which allows me to power around corners more confidently when the need arises.

Purchased our Yukon XL Denali May 2019 with 52K miles and tires have date code of 3717 so they were replaced by first owner. Tires only have 5/32 and not worn even and dealer should of replace them doing the GM certify check but didn't. I'm leaning toward the Michelins(285/45/22) OH.. street use only!

I have had Defender 285/45/22s on my Yukon Xl for about 7 months. I absolutely love them. I do get a slight droning sound on really smooth pavement at 40-45 mph, I think because there is so little other road noise to mask the sound. I had sets of Hankooks and Toyos before these (both were 305/40/22s). Mine has a 2/3 drop and stiffer springs and those other two tire rode like crap. The ride difference with the Defenders is night and day.
