    Has anyone with a 2014 TRD sport changed to the Michelin LTX MS2 tire yet? Just curious how well they ride compared to the crap factory tires?

    I just put a set on my 2012 and they ride alot better than the rugged trails. I seldom go offf road, so they work well for me.

    I have them on my 07. Replaced the Duellers with them. Pretty solid during ice and snow up here in AK. Ride well year round.

    Big improvement. Nice ride, quiet, decent in snow. Road force balance probably helps too.

    I put a set on my 2013 DCLB to replace the Dunlops. Much quieter and smoother.

    Great tires. Have had them on three of my wife's Tacomas and three of my Dodge Rams. They are worth every cent. Great in rain, snow, ice and gravel roads. Quiet on the highway and provide a good ride.

    Does anyone know how they compare to the AT2's. I have had the lTXs before and they were great tires. Over 90,000 miles on each set.

    Always liked Michelin tires in fact just purchased a set of 295/35r20 Michelin Super Sports for my 2013 Shelby GT500 and they handle and preform great. Not sure they offer any All terrian or mud type tires for our trucks

    LTX MS2 was better than LT2 because LT2 on wet and snow performance below par compare to MS2.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    Can't go wrong with michelins! They've been known to go 100,000 miles on trucks like ours.

    You'll be happy when you upgrade to them. I have a 2013 and switched out the dunlops at 3k miles. MS2 gave it such a better ride and feel a lot safer on the road.

    Some people say ther not aggressive looking/grandma tires but you can't deny performance. IMO I think they visually look great.

    They are great no matter what you put them on. Just got a new set for my 2010 Off Road DC.
