Michelin LTX AT2

[Jim W]

I have read this thread on and off since it was original posted. I went and bought a set of Michelin M/S2 tires in April of 2011, from Discount tires. I too wanted the 70 K mileage warranty from Michelin.

I have since put over 10K miles on the tires towing my 5er this summer and with normal driving on them, in all types of spring/summer weather. So far I have no complaints with them, waiting to see how they handle in the winter weather. I have notice that the tires will break loose under hard accelerations from a stop light. I do have a heavy foot once in awhile.

Same here, have 1500 miles on my new M/S2's on the 2nd gen.



They break loose quite easily in spite of the 600lbs. of cement patio blocks in the rear.



Will get the test tomorrow, 5"-9" of wet, heavy, slippery snow coming right at us.

First significant snowfall of the season coupled with the holiday traffic should make it quite the commuting event... ...

Sorry, to hear about the snow fall at Thanksgiving time. They are forecasting no rain and in the 60's for us. We will pay for this I know sometime this winter. In the Chicago area there is a saying; if you do not like the weather now. Wait for 24 hours it will change and you may not like it cause it could be even worse.

Scott,



I just put Cooper's on my truck back in Sept. They are the AT3's. So far so good.

Jeff, that is what I am looking at as well. Either the AT3's or the ST Maxx's. I know the Maxx's are more aggressive, but I am not sure it would matter too much. I am sticking with the stock tire size and the extra bite would be nice while in the backcountry.

Can you take a picture of the tires on your truck. Makes it a little nicer to judge what they look like on the rig. Heck, even the Zeon's look pretty nice too. Cooper seems to have a nice line up of LT tires. Scotty

Scott,

There are pictures at this posting.

Jeff, those tires look great. Seems like Cooper has a bunch of great choices. What do you think of the tires so far? Scotty

I have 1300 miles in snow and ice on some 285/70R17E AT3's and love them!

 

[SBeretz]

Thanks Bob, that is a great report considering where you are at! Scotty

 

[Jeff Knight]

Scott, I have about 1600 miles on mine. So far I like them. Much better than the BFG's.

Sounds good. Hopefully I can get my Michelins through the Winter here and then buy tires next Fall. I really don't wanna spend the money on new tires right now. Plus, these tires still have around a 1/4" of good tread left so I am hoping they will continue to serve well. It will be a tough order for a tire to beat them though. They are likely to have over 70K on them before they are done. Scotty
