    I’ve used these tires exclusively since 2006 and they are great. They came standard on my limited and when it’s time to replace, I’ll get the exact same tires.

    You will never go wrong with Michelins. They have the highest quality IMO.

    I run these Michelins as my daily driving is on highways so a quiet tire is important to me. Love the tire, didn't affect mileage, maybe even got better than with the stock Goodyear's. A real plus is these tires are great on hard packed and icy roads which is what we mainly deal with in reality.

    Had the tires installed this morning and I should of done this a long time ago. Could tell from the get go that they ride better and a more responsive handling tire. They are very quiet as well. Thanks everyone for the input.

    Next purchase will be LED fog lights and possibly the TRD Pro Grill. What brand of led fog light is everyone going with?

    My Limited came with these. They ride great from what I've seen. They are top of their class on Tire Rack, FWIW.

    I have had them on 3 trucks now. Replaced the Dunflops on my 2015 within the first 500 miles with these. Got 90K out of a set on my 2004 and still had good enough tread to pass inspection when I sold the truck. Great on wet roads and do well in Ice and snow. You will be pleased with them.

    I have a 2015 Yukon XL that currently has 215k miles. After burning off the factory tires, I switched to these. I have put two sets on. The set that is on there now currently has 80k miles on them and they still look good.

    I would have gladly sold you my Kevlar's that came off my OR. Only had about 500 miles on them. The Kevlar's were a great highway tire, but not suited for an Off-Road truck. I ended up going with 265/75/16 Duratracs, the tire Toyota should have put on an OR taco.

    Ran these on my last 4runner and Tacoma. HUGE fan, best rain/snow and street performance of any LT tire I've seen.

    Only drawback is offroad they're not very good but if you don't do serious offroading they shine in every other category, and they'll still handle light offroading no prob.
