Love new Michelin LTX AT2 Tires

I need some! My old tires are howling like a werewolf Whooooooo

 

Mush..........your too funny!!! get some Michelin meats on the rig!

 

OK...whats the debate on LTX AT2's vs. LTX MS2's ????

 

If you need to drive in deep snow, unplowed roads and dirt roads AT2s are better.

For hard packed snow/ice and normal paved road driving MS2s are better.

 

i don't think i'd want to drive 90k on one set of tires...you realize there's age rubber deterioration on sidewalls, cracks, cold/heat cycles that all amount to wear not just miles driven...
i don't doubt the MS/2s are a great tire, their wear rating is nice but there's a lot of good tire choices out there...

 

Sears Tires on the computer line has the MS2 s at $175.00 a tire for the P265/70/16 size but in the store $190.99,the dude at Sears online says that the store will SOMETIMES honor the online price,but I really wanted the AT2s they are $184.00? in store at Sears,if I could get the $175 MS2s in Store thats a good price.

 

I like the way these look!

 

I got it for $175/tire at Sam's Club. I also got $70 for buying a set of 4.. I think the deal is still going on now.

 

I agree...they look like a man's truck.

 

Am I correct in assuming these Michelin's are "LT" tires not "P" tires?

 

Mine are P's

 

I got P265

 

Yeah a litle more Testosterone looking plus I got a TRD Offroad package SR5 it needs a little Machoness in the wheels Im hoping the Highway ride is as good as the MS2 cause Im mostly a Street Queen and do alot of interstate driving that would be my only concern with them,if I had a little 2WD Toyota or other truck Id get the MS2s The MS2s look good on Daves truck Taco4x4NC he looked like he bumped up a size to P265/75/16?

 

I did bump up a size to P265/75/16 with the MS2's..I could have bought the LTX AT's but the manager at Discount tire told me the MS2's would have longer tread wear and less balancing due to a less agressive tread.

The AT's are a great aggressive looking tire, just not what I needed for my 99.9% highway on road driving. Now if I had to four wheel it to work everyday I might consider the AT's.....

For the $$$ I went with the MS2's and am very happy with them so far. They are super quiet and handle great.

Cheers!

I put the LTXAT2 2 months ago and love them to

 

Funny you should say that... I live in Montana where they don't plow non-main roads. In winter time, I feel like I'm on some artic expedition having to go over ice boulders, packed snow/ice, and deep snow just to get to work lol.

That's why M/S2 was not an option for me. If I end up moving to Boston area like I'm planning right now, I may get M/S2 once these wears out.

 

I would have chosen the same given those conditions in Montanna.....damm that even sounds like a cold name

 

Your probably right I had the original LTX M&S on my old truck they road like a dream on the Pavement,I have some Firestone Destination ATs on now at 70K they were a good tire and kinda of does everything well but I want to step up a little with a better comfortable all around tire,Im getting older and comfort and smoothness is more important than cool Macho looks unfortunately I wish the AT2s had both but not quite sure any AT tire I ever had had a blocky handling to them on the Pave. whereas the M&Ss were pure comfort and could also do the type of offroad adventures I was into.

 

Hows the Highway handling?

 

Just wanted to let you know that Discount tire matched the $175 price from Sears this morning for the P265/70/16 MS2. Not bad and I still get the $70 rebate. They will install them tomorrow morning.
