Anybody have any experience with these? Was ck'ing out Costco ... wow did Michelin take a price jump.

Their tread life looks good.



Here's the Commercial TA.

Here's the All-Terrain TA for comparison.

I have them on my dually, tough tires and I am about due for new ones on the rear, have 75,000 miles on them and they are just touching the wear strips.

If you do a lot of towing / commercial driving they are great when loaded, but running empty they get loose REAL quick in the wet/snow, but they are near wore out too, whick wouldn,t help.



I am going to try the A/T Traction this time, hopefully will handle the wet or snow better and still get the over 60K out of them.



I got 45K out of the factory tires, 35K out of a set of Michellin MTX, and could probably squeeze another 5K out of these giving these 80K, so treadwear is great, never had a flat with these either (just jinx myself for saying that)

That's what i've been finding out, really tough hombre'. I'm happy with the LTXs, traction & treadwear are great. Just had them rotated & measured tread depth.



Had them on 15k miles & am down to 11/32. Stock they are 15/32. If I figured it right, @ 75%, they'll be @ 41k miles. That's great IMO. Just that they are almost double the price of the Commercials now. :--)

I have had them for about 5k miles on my dually. They do not ride as well as the original Michilins but the wet traction seems to be better for me.

 

[The Adjuster]

Mine were good in the wet up until about 50,000 miles, then they tend to drop off quickly, I am super happy with them, they tend to ride harder than the Michellins, but when towing I like the extra firmness, gives you a more secure feeling.

I have them on the back on my truck and I like them ALOT better than the Michlens LTXs that were on there before. I picked the LTXs up with about 1/2 their tread life left and wore them down within 10-15,000 miles of just LIGHT towing. I've had the Commercials now for about the same time (granted I bought them new but) and they have stood up better to the towing. They have ALOT more traction than the LTXs did in the mud/snow.



I have BFG Land Terrains on the front and they suck. I've had them about 30,000 miles and already had one get a bubble in the sidewall. Their traction in the mud and snow sucks horribly. They've worn pretty good tho.
