    Howdy: Being in Georgia I'm looking to buy a set of 265/75R16 or 275/70R16 tires for my Taco
    that I use 90% on highways only and would like to get a high mileage and quiet tire.
    suggestions are welcome...................
    Thanks,

    One warning on Michelins - first 300-500 miles be careful in wet conditions until the "mold release" wears off of the tires, then you'll see what an excellent rain tire is like.

    Pretty sure Michelin doesn't use mold release on their tires anymore, only on some of their motorcycle tires. Either way, the defenders werent slippery when we bought em.

    My LTX MS2's were slippery when first installed. Tire Rack warns about it. Not a problem after a couple of weeks.

    interesting comments on tires being slippery. Ive had the ms2's and the later defenders and found both to be grippy right out of the shop.

    Michelin LTX MS2's are the best, just get them.

    nothing cool
    I got them. Love them. I don't off-road at all so that's something to consider. They are amazing in rain and super quiet.
