    Which I am not willing to put such heavy tires that kill gas mileage on in exchange for a good look. That may be their cup of tea, but I personally think its a bad idea

    Michelin doesn't really make an off road tire. That LTX is one most commonly found on OEM SUV's (fords and the like). But, it's a really good tire.

    Had these on the wife's rav4, IMO they suck even for the price. Didn't even get 30k out of them before they started getting unsafe in rain. Were supposed to be 50k tire. Never had good traction but then again she has the v6 with 280hp. Still, they were no better than off brand crap house brand shit from pep boys or somethin like that. Noisy on road even when they had tread. Lots of better choices for reasonable price. Replaced hers with some sumitomo touring somethins that have a 70k mile warranty on them. They are like night & day compared to the geolanders. Look better, ride better, quieter & you don't have to take off like grandma taking a driving test to keep from spinning them like before.

    If your driving is limited to pavement (dry or wet, but not icy), you could just get another set of the stock Dunlops. They cost ~$70/ea. Cheap.

    I would only recommend this if you have a 2nd set of rims with more aggressive tires and you're willing to swap them out every time your driving gets more rigorous than going to Home Depot and back or roadtripping to Grandma's house.
