Michelin LTX M/S * are excellent tires. They are, Vary Quite, on the road. At least, from America's Tires, there is a 60K mile warranty. As you can see, I have tread left, at 60K... I do, 75-80%, on-road, ~20% off-raod. They have, Vary good on road traction and manners, especially in the rain! Off road, dirt - good; mud, they suck...
There messin with the names of the tires? I think at America's and CostCo, is still called LTX-M/S. At sears a simulator tire is, XC-LT-4.
* Do not get the one, that shoulder of the tire, is closed up, get the one that looks like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the average person, who drives mostly on-road, Stick with the LTX M/S...For my next set of tires, I wan them to be a little better, off road. I 'm thinking of: Goodyear AT/S, Pirelli Scorpion AT or, Michelin AT (too tame)?... At ~$100+ a tire, 50k miles, or more is important...
Well, finally, my Michelins LTX's, wore out, and Americas Tires gave me great deal on a new set of four Goodyear Wranglers AT/S.
The Wranglers are good off-road, but have a vage feel, at freeway speeds. Not all that loud, for this type. Good in the rain, not as good as LTX, or Sorpin's...
If you drive slowly, and a lot of off-road, these are good for you...I don't really like BFGoodrich AT's, but there ok. They cost as much as, 50K and 60K, tires, but last only 40K Miles. They use to be a good deal, when the, tire stores, were aloud to have them "on sale". Now there, $100-110 (31-10.5x15) Then, there were usually around $90, and when there were on sale, they were as low as $70? O-well...
Thease are good tires. Probabley more like the Wranglers. I'd go for the "KO" type...
I Now have Pirelli's Scorpions AT's. ** I like the Pirelli's (my first chose) Best (see below for a picture); They are better than the Michelin's (2nd chose), or the Wranglers (3rd chose). The Pirelli's are almost as good in the rain, but better off-road, than the Michelin's (did poorly off-road, comparatively). Compared to the Wranglers, were just ok. but poor on-road feel.
** Be aware there is a on-road type of scorpion (not AT?). It have no blocks of tread on the outer edges. I do not recommend this tire!!!
If your like me, and you actually drive your truck off-road, but not as often as you would like. If you drive sportily (not slow). These are the tires for you...As usual, I got them from America's tires (Now called, Discount tire)...
