Michelin LTX AT2s installed

Another tire to consider if you are looking for a high mileage long life tire is Bridgestone Duravis 500. They offer a firm ride and are considered a commercial tire.

 

I’m looking into buying these but I’d like to see more pics... especially on a sport with stock wheels

 

How are you liking them now?

 

Just put a set of 265 50 20s Michelin Defenders on my 2016 SR 2.7L 2WD w/URD Stage II SC.
Tried to keep the same ride height, get a bigger footprint and a better ride. Ride is much improved over the Continental 245 50 20s I took off.

At 50k miles and new tires I’m thinking it’s time for a set of Bilstein B6 4600 shocks.

Any recommendations for a source with a decent price?

 

Pics or it didnt happen! You should start a thread on your truck and its mods... seems very unique!

 

You're right...IT NEVER HAPPENED!
But when you're in the Twlight Zone, you never know what you'll see...

 

Are you guys getting the load E rating ones? How's everyone's gas mileage compared to stock or others tires of the same size?

 

Avoid E-Load. These are not 3/4 ton or 1 ton trucks.

 

My 265 50 20s have a 107T designation on the sidewall.
According to Michelin they could be C, D or E. I can’t imagine a 20 series tire with an “E” load rating.

Any help with a good price on the Bilsteins?

 

do you have to pay for mounting and balancing plus alignment each time.......Lexus dealer made me do that each time and it ranged from 475 - 650 with tax and weights

 

really?

 

understand that.....i flew A6's, F4s, A4s and OV-10s for 20 years.....been riding motorcycle since '91.....had hearing tested last week.....perfect results.....all frequencies and got 0 to 5 on each....i am really lucky

 

I like these tires. the only thing that scares me is that they look as tame as the goodyears fails. took them off road here in hawaii once, and came out missing lugs on each tire. Now i know these are not the same tire, and in fact, are great, but still in my mind i worry a bit

 

Nice tires but I think they need a splash more aggressiveness to them.. I’m stuck trying to get new tires but don’t want over aggressive tires but more than the stock tires..

 

These grip very well you will be surprised how good they do.

 

+1. I wish they looked a bit more on the aggressive side

 

is 265-70-17 your stock size tire? i think mine is 265-65-17. could affect some of the bubbling.

 

You could get a tire siping tool and make them look as aggressive as you want!

O.K., we did not have to pay for anything other than oil changes which are running about $54. That's the deal: They change your oil every 3000 miles and you get new tires when needed. I change oil at 3000 anyway here in the shop, so I guess it is about a wash over the life of a Michelin.

 

white letters out, only way to live in this world.

 

i think it is....ill go back and check.....TRD Sport DCLB V6 with Tow pkk, Nav and Tech
