    Hey all.
    I'm looking to put new tires on my truck.
    Any suggestions.
    I use it for my daily commutes.
    Majority of my miles are on pavement.
    I pull a trailer often.

    Probably the perfect tire for your use - if you're not going for the A/T look. Great reviews for wear, ride, and wet/snow traction. Those will be my next set.

    As I have said many times on these tire forums, if Michelin is in the mix - it wins. Michelin is the only tire I know of that is made from a single piece mold. Other tires are sectioned together. The single piece mold results in a more round tire that stays balanced better and is also easier to initially balance. The downfall with Michelein is two fold. The first ding against them is purchase price but to me you get what you pay for. They wear like iron but will cost you more initially. The second issue is that their AT tire is at best a very light AT tire. If you only do minor off-roading then this tire is your best choice if you don't mind forking over a little more money upfront.

    I'm on my second set of these and would buy a 3rd set. Quiet and long lasting.
