npfsu 10-14-2005, 07:35 AM They have no tread life warranty but look pretty good. Will these last longer than my Goodyear Wrangler HP's (which should really be called "Goodyear Wrangler POS - Peices of S***")? lwclancers 10-14-2005, 08:07 AM Not sure. If there is no treadwear warranty that should be your first inclination they probably wont be much better. I personally steer clear from anything with less than a 50K treadwear rating. This was my deciding factor between the REVOs(50K) and the BFG TKOs (none). Read more of the reviews on tirerack and see what people say the treadwear is like. What was the treadwear rating? PVR 10-14-2005, 10:43 AM I'm not sure about the "Pilot" designation but I had the Michelin LTX A/S on a F-250 for a number of years. Very quiet and long wearing but not so great in snow. paulj 10-14-2005, 11:13 AM Look at the UTQG, Michelin's own rating, and the tirerack customer surveys (ask if you can't find that information). I suspect that among Michellin's tires, these favor traction (especially wet) rather than wear. If wear is your biggest concern these probably aren't the ones you want. paulj RainDriver 10-14-2005, 10:08 PM I've used Michelin LTX on other vehicles, and overall have been very happy. Not so good in snow. Great in rain. The Pilot designation is new, don't know what it means. paulj 10-14-2005, 11:24 PM LT and/or X is a favorite designation on Michelin suv tires: http://www.michelinman.com/catalog/index_5.html The Pilot LTX model is a 'performance' one, which Tirerack puts in the sport truck all season category. paulj PVR 10-14-2005, 11:30 PM Quite right Paul, Correction, the tires I had on my Ford were Michelin LTX M/S. They were expensive but highly recommended by a local tire store that sold lots of them for SUVs and pickups (this was in Terrace in NW BC). As I said, they were not great for snow but passable. That damn truck cost me so much money (in fuel and new parts) that I got by with one set of tires all year round. | ||
