    Never had trouble getting them balanced personally. If you can swallow the up front cost of them chances are you will never regret it.

    My dad has been running Michelin LTX for years on his Tundra. Always brags about the several times he has passed other 4x4 that were stuck going into job sites.

    With the amount of driving you do....

    Michelin LTX....I have them on the Ridgeline;66,000 miles and that is everything miles..trips to Florida twice a year and now this week they just pulled me over a "surprise" snow covered Class 6 road and NEVER broke loose ;)..
    definite 4 season tires..

    These were also the tire Brand for the Pilot that was replaced by the Ridgeline.60000+ trouble free miles on those when it traded :)....still 4-5/32 on them...

    Granted they will not "bring" me all the places my Grabber AT2's will :cool: BUT NO NOISE,great gas MPG's and their MICHELIN's :D....

    Sky King,

    This is my 4th set of Michelin LTXs. I have never had a balancing problem with any of them in 350,000 miles++. Mine were always spun balanced.

    I chose the Michelin LTX M/S2 for the exact reasons you are asking about. They have a 70k warranty.

    the Michelin LTX M/S
    is a great tire and will run over 100k miles

    the General Grabber HTS
    is a smoother and muchhh quieter ride
    with outstanding wet traction

    i have used both
    and either would be a great choice

    the Grabbers are much less expensive

    hope this helps

    incredible in rain, especially on interstate standing puddles

    lasts forever

    Ok in snow but not a snow tire

    quiet

    on my 3rd set with my 4runner at 210,000 miles

    best tire ever

    This...If I didn't care about looks I'd get the M/S 2, but since I may make it in the dirt and want a little more aggressive look, I am going with the A/T 2.
