Very nice review, informative and done straight up! Owned a Tow truck company for 20 years in Orange County Calif. Seen it all!! looking to replace the Michelins ATX highway tread to a more OEM raised white letter for my Ram 4x4 with OEM 20 inch wheels. Thanks for the info that the tire chain stores are NOT capable of the knowledge base that you have.
You do an outstanding job explaining tires. Very knowledgeable about your products
I appreciate that!
I'm actually a driver for a big commercial tire company just ordered a set of these for my f250 I pull a gooseneck every day and drive several hundred miles thanks for the great review.
Very cool!
Amazing in depth review the way it should be done. Thanks
Most people don't need KO2s and other aggressive AT. This tire is great for folks who only occasionally go off-road and drive on grated gravel trails.
Yes. You are correct.
Love this tire!!!! Definitely does it’s job, through mud and snow plus very quiet on the highway!!!
Awesome, Thanks for the feedback!
How well did they perform in snowy and rainy conditions when there less than new???
Just got these for my 21 Ranger with a level and spacers and love em for what they are. They seem like an aggressive looking street tire so they look the part without having the stiffness and the worse fuel efficiency. Plus gas is expensive right now.
Just recieved my 24 silverado 3500 with these. I was disappointed at first because i spec'd my truck to come with mud terrains but i guess they are no longer available. When i saw these i said no way. But after your review ill give them a try. Thanks for going in depth on these
I think this tire is decent if you don't expect a lot out of it and want a mild looking tire. I know a lot of people think these tires are trash but they are Michelins so they can't be that bad. Appreciate the review on this one!
I think they are pretty good. It's not a K02.
@@CampusautoCo Which on is the KO2?
Thank you for this review. I live in Hawaii. I need to replace my Michelin "street tires" for my 2012 Jeep unlimited Rubicon. (I have these on a second set of wheels. The OEM tires are too noisy on the road and a too harsh, in my opinion.) Based on what I have already read, and having watched your review and listed to you commentary, I'll probably buy a set of these Michelin LTX A/T 2 tires to replace my nine year old Michelin LTX "street tires" with. One of the sidewalls of my original Michelins is starting to crack, since they were only on my car about 1/2 of the time over the past nine years. They still have most of their tread. I was happy with these LTX Michelin's when new and the Jeep was in Utah. The LTX performed well on Utah's slick rock; I've wondered how they'll do here in Hawaii (with volcanic rock!), thus I have not had them on my Rubicon since shipping it from Utah to Hawaii. Now when I've finally decided to put the Michelin';s back on, I found one of them looks to be close to have the side wall split from being stored with four other wheels and tires on top of it. Thanks again for your video!! Andy McKane, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
My 2019 F350 diesel came from the factory with these tires. Your review is right on. They are quiet, smooth, good in wet and snow and wear like iron. I have 70,000 miles on the tires, With 36,-000 miles pulling a heavy fifth wheel, and they have 4/32” tread left. The only downside is they are average in mud, but great otherwise. I highly recommend them.
Thanks for the real world feedback!
I also learned about these tires when they came from the factory on my f250 platinum diesel. I don’t trash my trucks but I do live on a dirt road and take the truck hunting so I needed a little off road capability but 90% of my use or more is on road. These tires make the truck just feel planted to the road, they’re quiet, and I really don’t have anything bad to say about them. Will run them on all my vehicles from now on unless they change something
I put these on a 2003 Ford Explorer that came stock with the LTX M/s. I added sipes to these tires. These tires had awesome traction under all conditions. Only problem was on canyon roads the handling was scary! The stiffer LT tires used on heavier trucks should be fine.
Have these on my 2020 F350 dually, 13000 miles and are down to 10/32”, all 6 tires on the ground, started at 15/32” . I doubt I’ll see 30000 miles.
Always have had good luck with Michelin, these not so much.
Would like to see more on hiway tread tires. Thinks that’s the route I’m going next.
Always good to see your reviews. I like how you show the good and the bad of each, sure helps to make a decision.
Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review with all accurate points. The LTX AT2 works nice for towing an RV on the roadways. But in a little bit of wet grass/mud, it's slippery and has no bite. The M/S2 tires from Michelin seem to perform better in any mud/snow than these AT tires do.
Good point!
I use them on logging roads with my Silverado. They grip well for that.
I've got 40k with a set on my 2020 GMC AT4. Still have probably 8/32's. They're wearing great. Key is to keep them rotated every 10k or so.
It's an amazing tire! I agree with you. They will last a very long time 🔥
I think so too!
I am replacing mine tomorrow. They have 72,000 miles on them and the tread depth is 5/32. They are starting to get squirlly on wet roads. I had a difficult time not going with another set considering how long they lasted, how quiet they are and how they do towing. It just came down to me wanting a more aggressive looking tire. Going with the Firestone Destination XT’s.
I have had KO2 on my 2004 Chevy Avalanche and they are great for all driving except rain. When the street is wet they slip like crazy. I am definitely looking into these tires. I prefer AT tires that have a channel in them. Just my .02
Great information! Balanced review.
Thanks so much, I try. Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Appreciate the info !
Every tire dealer has gone to 3rd generation of AT tires except for Michelin. These have been around for some 25 years without a change. Now, Michelin says if you want all terrain and off road tires, go to BF Goodrich, as they own BFG. I had a set of these as a factory tire for my Ford F250 6.7 diesel. It's quiet, smooth, and good in the rain, and decent in several inches of snow. They hold pebbles like a magnet picks up nails. I've had about 4 or 5 punctures with nails so it had been patched up numerous times. Finally got rid if it at 50,000 Mike's. Replaced them with Cooper AT3 XLT. Same quiet, smooth ride, same great in the rain and even better in the snow. And not once have I picked up a puncture from a nail. I am replacing the Coopers with thr Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT as the Cooper have just over 51,000 miles in them. I can get many more miles out if them if I live in the south, but I love in Idaho so better fresh shoes before I slide into a guard rail.
I personally have had 4 sets of Michelin tires and have had very poor service from each set but I do appreciate the insightful and informative nature of your reviews
Oh man, I hate to hear that.
I have no idea how many sets of Michelins I've had, but it goes all the way back to the multiple sets of XZXs I had during the 1980s on VW Jetta, and Volvo wagon. Others different Michelin models on another VW and Buick sedan, and F350 crew cabs, etc. All have given excellent service and mileage. We did try one set of Goodyear wranglers, that lasted about half the mileage, of what the Michelins did. I always ran slightly more air than recommended. 32 to 35/36. And 36 to 40.. better fuel economy and tire wear. Of course, if under load, or towing, I adjusted accordingly. Thank you for your informative channel. I'm already researching for tires for my Tacoma, for next year.
I'm curious to know which models along with how you were using them.
I just bought a set of Goodyear Adventures , was looking at the Michelin LTX . But I didn't think the LTX was keeping up with the modern times ..
I have another truck , and it's set up with the Michelin Defenders ... awesome tire ...
Great videos! have a 2012 Tahoe Z71. I do a lot of highway and on road driving with occasional light to very mild off road driving. Mainly grass, dirt roads, gravel roads, fields and some sand. What would be the best a/t tire for my Tahoe. I am leaning toward the Continental Terrain contact at or the Michelin ltx at2. Again, love the videos my man!
Like this guy 👍 great review
I’m super impressed with this tire!! By far it is the best oe tire that my ford super duty dually could of have from factory. Just did the first rotation at 12k miles their basically new.. I did pay 120$ for rotation and balance 🤨😡 lol
Cool. Dually's are a pain to rotate and balance.
Outperformed any other tire i used. LtxAt2’s got me 95k+ miles pulling a 5th wheel flatbed 9k lbs trailer with added load weight on Highway use. The best tire for the money. 2nd place goes to Michelin Primacy Qc both of these tires ive used on a 2016 and 2019 Gmc 3500 Dually. On the primacy 40k warranty im getting 105k which is unbelievable. I have all receites and papers to prove i used two sets total 12 tires my truck has 210k and still going on 2nd set. Middle of tire still about 25-30% left. And i thought these would never compare with the At2’s!!!
I love this tire , alot highway and rain , travel through florida to California and up to Canada and it handles well through flooded areas and some dirt roads mud not so much
Right on!
Michelin has always honored their warranty. When I get down past half tread and only have like 18k-20k on the tires they sell me new ones at 50% discount.
One thing you need to know, the tread pattern you are showing is for the 10 ply tire. The tread pattern on the non 10- ply tire, the sipes go all the way down to the tire and have a more aggressive tread pattern.
The the non-10 ply tread pattern will compete with the BF good rich TA KOs, in the mud and sand.
They offer the best anti-hydroplaning I have ever experienced. I’ve hit 3 to 4 inches of water at 70 miles an hour and did not lose traction. On my 2018 Ford F150, I got over 80,000 miles on the 10 ply tire. Just like you said when the tires get worn to those wear bars the tires gets slick and starts to hydroplane.
I will be buying a set of the Michelins in the non-10 ply on my RAM 1500 4x4 soon.
In my line of work I see Michelin tires every day and it’s more common to see them with cracks on the sidewall and in the tread than not to see it, and that’s when they are less than 6 years old.
I installed a set of P245/70-16 on a '03 Ford Explorer, in 2010. The traction and ride was awesome! I did have them siped. But I went back to General tires for the better handling on canyon roads.
Right on! I had a set on my 04 Ford Explorer and got 70k out of them.
You can actually have tires siped,who does that kind of work???
@@mercedesbenzs600bash America's Tire Company, and Les Schwab. I live in California.
@@zxej6879 Much appreciated my man...
After 85k on my Tacoma they actually looked great and I was able to sell them. Not great in snow imo. I’d rather have the defender or better yet the agilis crossclimate.
But these are very good tires
Thank you for the video. Yesterday I noticed how bad my tyres look, and I found thousands of little cracks. Even though they only have 3,000 miles on them, it’s obvious that dry rot is the reason why I must get new tires every 6 years. I don’t even get a chance to rotate them.
Wow. Tires like to be run.
@@CampusautoCo back in the 80’s, I went to school to be a nascar mechanic. The first thing I learned brakes and tire purposes, and that included that rubber tires need massages to last long. Not exactly massages, but he used it as an example. A person must use the muscles to stay flexible and durable... no different than tires.
I have them on my duramax . Came with the truck new. Good highway manners and towing but yes that’s about it. Definitely not an off road or snow tire. For winter use I run a set of toyo open country ct studded.
Right on
Thanks for this review. I had set on a tundra and chevy 2500 and loved them. Traded recently gor gmc 2500 that came with goodyear wranglers oem which seem to ride very harsh. However, wife recently informed me i have been on double secret probation since trading trucks, so new tires will have to wait.
Right on!
Thanks for the review Matt. I was considering these for my new F150 instead of the GY Wrangler Territory AT tires it'll come with. I'll likely swap the GY with the Continental TerrainContact AT tires. The GY tires are several lbs lighter than the Continental's which makes me wonder about punctures and longevity issues.
I was thinking the same thing. They wont be as strong as the Conti.
I have owned a set of these tire and loved them, what would be your recommendation for a BFG tire with the same reliability
About no new Michelin all-terrain tires: the Michelin LTX Trail made its U.S. debut as OEM equipment on some Toyota truck and SUV models. The LTX Trail has been available internationally for many years, while the Latitude Cross is not set for a North American debut anytime soon. I ran these (the LTX A/T) on a 2001 GMC Yukon, and again on a 2003 Ford Expedition, and I thought the LTX A/T2 was an okay tire, even with the reviews I saw that said the tire wore out early. I ran these in a Michigan winter on both vehicles, and thought that the tires did okay in snow, ice, slush and rain. I even did some off-reading when I went to a camping site and up to a lakeside cabin, and the tires did the job on mixed dirt/gravel roads.
A+ tire ! I'll go ANYWHERE a nitto or toyo will . Especially DEEP SNOW . KNOW IT
The ones I had on a 1500 Ram did very good. The ones that were 10 ply on a 2500 Chevrolet sucked.
They came oem on my 20 Tundra Trd Pro. I actually like them. Smooth, soft and comfy ride for daily driving. Most people in the Tundra community hated them. Most people sold their brand new take off sets for around $300-500. I believe they're expectations are just too high. Just like you can't expect a factory truck to drive over 2ft rocks right off the dealer's lot. You want it to do what's it isn't intended to do you got to upgrade. These tires are meant for the everyday driver that wants occasionally light off road.
Looking at these for my Ram Ecodiesel. My second set of GY SRA's are down to 4/32nd at 110,000 miles. SRA's are not great, but are easy rolling. Hate to lose my 30 mpg.
You wouldn't lose much with these tires.
Dude, I could talk and listen about tires all day. I Wish Pro Comp would up their game. Do they even exist anymore? Anyway, keep up the good work. I fully trust yalls advice.
Going ta put a set on my 2020 Silverado 6.2 RST(rallysporttruck) in a few weeks
I’m set to replace the tires on my ‘21 Super Duty. I have the LTX AT2 now that are the OEMs. Can’t say anything bad about them. I survived a Vermont winter and had no issues with traction. I’m also interested in the Defender M/S as well. Any advice on switching to the Defender or staying with the AT2?
Unfortunately I don’t do much, if any, off-roading with my Super Duty, but I do pull a 5th wheel camper long distances multiple times per year. We could go from South Texas to Indiana, and out to South Dakota in the same year pulling a 18,000lb RV. We’re travel nurses and live full time in the RV. Thanks for the help and the videos.
Spot on. It's all I've owned on F350's since 2012 to date. I don't even look at other truck tires. And once you own a set you will never pay full price again! Whenever mine hit 50% i get new half off. Go Michelin!
Correct
How do I go about getting that deal?
That is the standard Michelin warranty. When they hit 50% and don't make the warranty mileage they give 50% of new. In Pa that equates to around 25k miles a year and I get the new ones in the fall, right before winter. See your dealer.
@@bsto5000 Can you explain that a little bit better i really dont understand...
Saw them wore down quite a bit after 75 000 km on a 2019 gas job super duty. Probably 40% gravel 60% highway.
Other work trucks are rocking Sailun terramax at, quite confident driving with them in mud or snow and slush. Quite a solid entry level tire. Probably only last 55-65 000km though.
Thanks for sharing
Your review is waaaaaay off
Hi Matt! Was wondering what your thoughts are on some mastercraft axt2 all terrain tires?
Love your tire reviews, thanks for posting them. Have you reviewed the Nokian Rotiiva? I am thinking about putting a set on my 4Runner. Thanks again.
Not yet!
I subbed when you said Blacksburg. Go Hokies!!!
Yes indeed. Go Hokies!
I've had two sets of these on a Tundra Pro. I have not benefited from the long wear that you speak of. I am considering switching to the Continental Terrain Contact A/T. Do you think the Continental is too much tire for a Tundra?
I have these on my 08 Sequoia 275-65-18,how many miles would you say they'll stop performing like new in the snow and rain because the siping will be gone and do you think the siping on the Continental TerrainContact will last much longer than the Michelins and what other brands do the sipings last a very long time???
Is the Michelin LTXA/T2 or the Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 3 better for heavy rain and frequent rain?
I got 27000 miles, had no traction from beginning to end. Had to have 4 wheel drive to back up to my travel trailer. Replaced with a Cooper tire and it was a vast improvement @ a 35 % less investment. I also have 36 years in the tire industry.
Was it a Super Duty? If so, I have heard a lot of people say the same thing. I had a set of 28570R17 on a Ram 1500 and they did great.
@@CampusautoCo F250 with 275/65R 20 LR-E
@@jesseweaver1014 That's what I figured. It seems like everybody with a Super Duty has this problem.
No traction from beginning to end on Michelins LTX A2s,how is that even possible,I don't have that problem at all 275-65-18 Sequoia???
What's the best E rated tire for mpg's?
I have this tire in a plus size. It tool 18 months to get a replacement. Michelin just isn't making many of the tire sizes available. I wish they would make even more sizes in this tire. I wish they made my new tire size 275/50R22.
Please review the ltx terrain
Is it a great tire for my 2005 Chevy Silverado K1500 4x4 with p265/70r17
I had those on my truck for about two years. I thought they were great. Then I switched to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo 3 (Load E). The Revo 3's are just as quiet, better load rating, better sipping, smoother, better sidewalls, and they look better. Wet/snow traction is waaaaay better too. Michelin did alright with their "A/T" tires, but it is just a road tire with A/T badging. Just my 2-cents.
Thanks for sharing

I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!

@Davian Brayan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Davian Brayan It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out !
Had these tires on a 2019 f350 dually and they did well. I just replaced them with the continental terrain contact ht and they are horrible, I get alot of sway from the continental tire.
I hate to hear that. They should calm down after a few miles.
Good on the road but I got stuck on wet grass in 4x4 with these tires.
I've been in the tire industry for over 30 yrs and I think Michellin tires are the best.. Personal opinion
I like them too. They save me money on wheel weights.
How well do you think will do on 2014 Nissan titan sv 2wd. It will be 90% on road.
Very interested in this tire!
I think this would be an ok choice but probably not for your application.
Great Review! You Get What You Pay a Little Extra For With Michelins' The Longest Lasting Tire ! Imo- Fact😶👍
You got that right!
How's the fuel consumption after putting these on? I'm looking to buy a set of tires in a couple months when spring comes. Will be driving on highways and the occasional offroad, no towing, just hauling bikes/dirt bikes. Thank you!
Matt - I am surprised to hear of your long tread life on the LTX AT2. These tires come OE on a majority of our fleet and we are replacing them in the 10-20K mile marker. Our trucks spend alot of time off-road and that I'm sure contributes to early wear out but we are replacing with other brand all terrains and see much improved mileage.
What are you replacing with
I'm looking for a towing AT tire that will withstand towing 10-14,000 lbs trailers 80% of the time and see's dirt roads frequently.
I would choose the Continental Terrain Contact AT
How many ply are the sidewalls ? Are they 10 load E?
Would these be a better choice over the Michelin LTX M/S Defender’s ? I have a 2018 Nissan Titan Platinum reserve 275/60R20’s. I rarely do any off road driving but i want a quiet highway, high mileage Michelin tire. Great tire reviews!
Either tire would be fine. You pick the one that you like the best.
i own a set of these on a 2017 f350 superduty, they are a good highway tire , very quiet and last a long time. Off road they will shoot up a lot of stones and the tire stays full of those stone making lots of noise on the highway till you remove them. ,
Thanks for the feedback!
I have these on three vehicles and I have no complaints but it's time to replace the set on my work truck and it appears that they're discontinued. Is there any news on a replacement ? Michelin is such a major tire brand, they can't not have an A/T tire. I've been looking at the Yokohama Geolander A/T GO15, and it looks like a nice tire but I would prefer to stick with Michelin.
On my 2nd set. 110k on the first set and 85k still goin on my 2nd. Toyota Tacoma 4x4 off road. Great in about everything I’ve thrown at em except sharpe rocks will cut the sidewalls. Most likely get a 3rd set.
Good stuff!
These came Stock on my 2020 TRD PRO and can attest they are excellent tires on dry, wet and snow covered roads. I put new tires on mine at 7,900 miles only because I wanted a more aggressive looking and larger tire. So I have 4 for sale if anyone in Ohio wants 4 almost new ones for a bargain.
Good to know. Somebody buy those tires!
You still have them?
@@loudnoises4627 yes I do
@@dalephillips8250 If pictures look good I'd be willing top buy, but I'm in FL. Would shipping costs just make it unfeasible? Currently they are 264 a piece but at local tire shop and im pretty sure they look different than the OE from TOyota. The tread
@@loudnoises4627 I don't know what the shipping costs would be and I can send you pics of them. Here is the truck they came off of
th-cam.com/video/zOlTKruReG4/w-d-xo.html
They still have plenty of tread and I'm just selling them for $100 per tire as that is far less than half of the new price. Let me know and I can send close up pics of the tires ...the unknown is the shipping costs to FL.
Would you recommend staying with P rated tire or LT for 2020 Tundra TRD Off Road. Mostly highway with 30% gravel and/or logging roads. Live in Ohio and travel frequently to Colorado. Also looking at Toyo AT3
I would stay with the P for the ride.
They work good on the f350
Great video thanks. I have these on my 2019 Tundra TRD Off Road sr5 with 25K miles but would like better snow performance over the life of the tire than these offer. I drive 30 miles a day to work and back and average about a 1000 miles a month with no real off roading. Do you have any recommendations that would not require a winter change over?
Did you ever find anything??
I have been on Michelins forever. There isn't a better tire out there and these ltx at2's work great on my suburban. They arent mud tires and i don't expect them to be. But they get me over the passes and out of driveways etc. And yes i get more miles out of them than any other tire. I do get them nitrogen filled at costco so that keeps some of the heat out of them as well
Good to hear. Save your money on the Nitrogen. 80% of the air we breath is already nitrogen. They best machines only get it up to around 92%.
Whichone would you prefer for a weekend off roader? Im looking for a snow peak tire on my non daily driver FJ.
Look at the Toyo Open Country AT3
I’ve always had great luck with Michelin tires on cars, trucks, motorcycles they work great. They are usually my go to tire if I want the best ride and handling and long life. I have Michelin snow tires were made back in 2006 on one of my work cars. these tires now are down to 4/32 last year for them and are just starting to get some small age cracks in the tread now. I’ve had other tires on my car they’re all cracked after three years still lots of tread. Junk
Right on
I have these tires on my 2016 tundra and they're pretty great. Just a question for you. Their 285/55 and on the door sticker im supposed to have 275/55. Any reason why they would have done that? (Truck is used) and also how much can that affect my gas mileage. It's a 5.7 4x4. Thanks!
They probably don't make a 275 tire in this. The 285 is barely bigger and mpg difference would be negligible.
Def like to know where I can get this tire for $299 I’m in Atalanta
Will you please review pirelli scorpion atr tires? Super duper curious😆😆😆
Agreed. This is the set I'm looking at picking up for my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee due to all the good reviews online of how the Scorpions handle in the wet and snow. I feel like there isn't much out there for it and would be a great video!
I reviewed their lateset AT tire which I think took the ATR place.
Do I have to go to a toyota dealer to get the ltx at2’s from the tundra? I’ve pretty much looked everywhere else but they all look like the one from this video. The ones from the tundra have the blocks that go into the sidewall a little.
Yes. You are correct. They call that the DT which means different tread.
@@CampusautoCo Is that information they should have right on the description of the tire?
I saw a new 2021 Tundra Pro TRD with LTX AT2. But it had an aggressive sidewall tread block. New???
They do have a slightly different tread denoted on the listings as "DT".
Great channel. How about a review on the Dunlop Grandtrek AT20. They came stock on 4Runner and Tacoma.
Terrible tire. I don't like it. Almost 100% of my customers replace that tire with another brand sometimes before they even wear out.
Which one would you recommend for a F150 mainly highway. Michellin AT2 or Continental Terrian Contact?
Either one will work fine. I would go with the Continental.
These tires are complete skates on ice. Number of years ago my Dad got these on his new truck. He let me drive it, he was with me about a week after he got it. We took a drive up the near by mountain pass, roads snow covered and icy. I had taken the road the just before in slightly worse conditions. I had a good idea of what traction was like, it wasnt good but totally manageable. I came up too fast on someone driving too slow (both our faults) hit the brakes and had NO traction, another oncoming truck was in the other lane. I narrowly made it around the passenger side of him and corrected. I knew that I was driving a bit too fast but also knew my traction should not have been that poor in those conditions. Took my vehicle out after to test it, my crappy old all seasons wouldn't slide like those. The funny thing is they took corners very well and took off fine in snow and ice but would not brake at all. Two weeks later my dad texted me telling me he slid right into a ditch and was gonna get some duratracs hahaha.
These tires seem to do ok unless they are on a Super Duty.
Now I'm wondering who makes the best AT tire that can handle,rain,snow and ice really well and who makes Duratracs???
I have a 2016 Ford F350 Club Cab with original tires: Tire Size: LT275/65R20/E
Michelin - LTX A/T2 with 39000 miles on the Truck & Tires. A tire just blew on the highway today 6/17/2021 and caused quite a bit of damage to the Rear Fender. It was on the highway and the temp was 105 F and my speed was 70 MPH.
Now I don't know what to do I don't trust the other tires on the Truck!!! However, they are supposed to run 60,000 miles. These are supposed to be the best tires you can buy. List price on these tires is over 500.00 each. but now I am thinking of changing Brands!
Plus, I have all this damage to my Truck. I do have pictures of everything.
Note: There was a very large Explosion when the tire blew without any warning.
I was still about 100 miles from Home. So, I put on the spare, stopped at the first stop I could about 2 miles down the road to check the tire pressure on the spare. It only had 45 lbs. of air. So, I added air to the spare and continued home without any more issues.
I have heard alot of people have problems on the Super Duty with this tire. It must be made to Ford Standards to meet a price point. All of the tires I had performed and lasted beyond my expectation but just about every Super Duty changes them out when the first set wears out.
Well here is what i did. I don't know if it was the right decision but i put on 4 new Michelin - Defenders LT275/65R20/E- $1500.00 mounted and balanced. I had a local body shop look at the damage and they can repair for 600.00. I was going to go to a Cooper Tire but even though it had good reviews i stayed with OEM Michelin- hope I made the right decision. Only time will tell.
These came on my f250 and like all Michelin’s, they ride great on the road and I’m sure the tread will wear great but if you get in wet grass, you will have to put it in 4x4.
They don't perform well on Super Duty Trucks.
What is a good F250 Tire…?
The first week of owning my 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie, I couldn't make it out of a carwash without the auto 4WD engaging and yanking me into a guardrail on the factory Goodyear SRA's. That cost me an insurance deductible and $600 after credit from the dealer toward a new set of tires. I replaced them with these Michelins. I'm now at 50k miles and I have mixed feelings on them. I think they're super quiet and have great handling on paved surfaces. I rotate true winter tires in after the first winter. These are NOT good in snow and ice. That long wear means hard rubber in the winter and they slide on anything frozen. I live on a gravel mountain road in Idaho and had a few tread block gouges early on. I have had probably a half dozen punctures of nails and other materials in these and I think that is more than any other tire I've ever owned. I get it patched and keep on rolling, but it isn't lost on me. I just purchased a set of TerrainContact's for the wife's Durango and if I don't go more aggressive myself, I will probably go the same route on my truck. If you need a pavement pounder with the occasional need to get off-road or a fleet tire, these should last you a long time and have great road manners. If you live in winter climates, you will need to rotate in a true winter tire though.
Great points. I agree 100%
Can you do one on the maxxis razr at811
I will look and see if I can get one.
I have these tires on my truck and have been fairly pleased with them. Its a GMC Sierra 2500HD W/T crew cab Duramax 2 wheel drive with LT265/70R/17. My truck pulls a bumper pull landscape trailer every day it is the truck we use in my business a landscaping company The trailer has a mesh storage box we keep shovels and rakes in on the front it is elevated so i can pull the front of a mower under it. The truck is driven in the city not on trips and we only put 10k to 12k a year on it. I have to put tires on it about every 18 months I'M lucky if I get 25k out of a set of tires I will admit I'M not the best at regular rotations I do some But not as often as I probably should. I'M not worried about snow and Ice I'M in Nashville and we don't get that much here and the truck sits when the roads are bad. What tire would you recommend me trying to better mileage out of them also would I be better off running a LT245/75R/17?
No. Stick with the 265.
@@CampusautoCo What about my poor mileage out of tires on my truck? Is there any other tire you would suggest?
I would like these tires but I don’t think they have my size
Can you please make a review about Best sand tires?
I will look and see what's out there. Generally MT Tires perform the best in sand when they are aired down.
I always see the interco sts for sand
How do these wear on a dually? The Nitto EXOs on my Ram dually are cupping/scalloping pretty badly. Toe-in has been reduced to Thuren's spec. No worn out parts, as this started from new. Currently 33K+ miles. I'd like to stay with a "real" AT, but may go with these or the Agilis CrossClimate.
Try the Continental Terrain Contact AT
@@CampusautoCo Thanks for the info. Sorta surprised you'd go with Conti over Michelin, but will look at them. 40K on the Nittos now, and a bit more to go.
What does it weaight
Is it OK? Recommended? Hurt anything? If your factory size is 275/65/18. To go to a 275/70/18? Thanks! For a 2010 Tundra still in excellent condition.
I don't think it would be a problem.
I drive a 2009 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD work truck. I carry 2000 pounds in the bed at all times. I am trying to decide between Michelin‘s and Hancook‘s. I have Michelin‘s on the truck now. I do mostly in town driving for electrical contracting work. Very limited Offroad, sometimes gravel.
Your suggestion between the two brands or a third-party that I’m missing? Thank you.
Michelin tires are much much better.
I just did Google image search and found it. It is perfect compliment to this tire. Bet I can't buy it. I will take Tundra to get the tires.
Ok
