2015 Volvo XC60, 55000 miles on Michelin tires, replaced with Michelins. 1999 International 4700 crew cab, 6 Michelin 19s, towing 20k 5th wheel. Why not? If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it. You might get out before the devil even knows you're there. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

I’ve always gotten over 70k miles out of the Michelin’s (LTX) on the trucks I’ve owned. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

Amazon, or Walmart direct. I'm happy with the Cooper DISCOVERER A/T 245/75/R16 All-Season tires bought at Walmart.com and delivered to my local Walmart and installed for about $100 a tire + $15 installation each. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Just put a set of E rated BF Goodrich K02s on my Dodge 2500 Diesel. BJ's killed everyone on price. $807 out the door. | |||

My tire guy said the Michelin AT2 was one of the worst tires he’s ever seen in a LT tire. However, the Michelin Defender LTX is perhaps the best tire he’s ever seen. I’ve been a big fan of the Tokyo ATII, but they do come in many varieties, from 6 ply to 10 ply. I wonder if the H/T you have is the same way and perhaps you have the lighter ones? My 10 ply Open Country ATII tires on my pickup track like an arrow no matter how much I’m towing. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Not any tire worth buying.
My number 1 favorite truck tire until I got my first set of Falken Wildpeak ATW3s last year on the Expedition. The KO2s are an aggressive AT tire not their mud tire.
My Mom had Michelin ATs on her Explorer and brother had them on his Pilot mother had to replace hers at 32k and brother just over 25k. Heard much better results with the Defender and Premier. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

Make sure they clean and apply a sealant if you have alloy wheels at the $100 install. Also our local Walmart will not install anything but the size that is on your door sticker. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I've found Costco and BJ's to have the best prices when you add-in everything(balancing, valve stems, warranty). _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

Michelin LTS M/S were great tires for me in a similar size, so were the Goodyears at half the price. | |||

I just had 4 new Yokohama AT's (265-70R/17's) put on my 2016 4Runner. I have about 1500 miles on them so far. I like them a lot so far. There is a local (regional) tire shop here called Flynn's Tire. I usually stay away from all chains and have used a small shop where my office was located, but his prices have just continued to creep up and up. This local shop advertises a "total price" on their web page. There were a few top brands within my price range, and I prefer the AT type tire over the all season. My out the door price for tire, tire disposal, mount, computer spin balance and all taxes was $673 out the door. We'll see how they last. Oh, and bonus, turns out all the guys in the shop are gun freaks like me too.  We talked guns the whole time I was waiting on my truck. | |||

Gouging is when there is no alternative, like when Les whatever is the only tire dealer in a crunch. You drove elsewhere, so it's just a high price. | |||

try a rear motorcycle tire for a heavy cruiser type bike. $250 and was lucky to get 9,000 miles service and not a aggressive rider. had a weird factory rim size with a 18 inch rear wheel. went "DARKSIDE" -- for a few dollars less I was running a performance car tire (215/45/18).with a mileage of 35,000 plus.. even with the flat tire tread if I had been so inclined to drag the foot pegs in the twisties with the crotch rocket bikes .................drill sgt. | |||

I've been looking for 4 tires for my 31' RV. It is 8 years old with hardly 5,000 miles of travel. I want to change them because of their age and worry that they have dry rot even though I can't see it. There are plenty of deals out there but my concern is that I get new tires and not something sitting in a warehouse for a couple of years. Living the Dream | |||

Surely there has to be a Discount Tire in your area, and I'll stop calling you Shirley. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

They're a Load Range E, Load Index 125, tire rated for 3,640lbs at 80psi, which is the only type available in the size for my truck. Toyo made a heavier duty, stiffer version with three ply sidewall called Tuff Duty, but discontinued them.
Goodyear's new trailer tire, Endurance, is made in the USA. I've only had them on my boat trailer for 800 miles, so I have no comment on them. Carlisle has a Chinese made trailer tire that's supposed to be good, Radial Trail HD. I put a set on our travel trailer and put 2,500 trouble free miles on them before we traded that trailer for the 5th wheel. There were no American made trailer tires in that size at the time. | |||

You live in Spokane right? Just go to the Discount Tire on E. Sprague and you can thank me later. I wouldn't trust Les Schwab to check my air pressure, let alone their tires. You watch, they'll be out of business within 2 years at most. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

I wasa Les Schwab guy for many years, they started getting a bit pricier and with less selection so I jumped ship to Discount Tire and have been very happy with them. Have also used Costco with no complaints. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

I use a local chain here for my tires but if I moved, I would go back to Discount. They have many virtues to them but one of the biggest is their number of locations for rotations, warranty work, etc. That plays a big factor into things, IMO. _____________ | |||

Sorry for the bad luck. I've only ever used Michelins as replacement tires and I've never had a problem with them yet. On my 2500HD, various SUV's in different sizes, and my current X5. A few sport sedans in there as well. | |||
