I really liked my Nitto Terra Grapplers. they were quieter than the stock tires and 7lbs lighter per corner. my fuel economy actually improved slightly. they did just fine in the snow and wore slowly and evenly. when I got rid of them with 25,000 miles on them they were still at 9/32" and 10/32", new was 12/32".

I have had the Cooper Zeons for about a month. I like them. I bought them for the more aggressive look and I live in Michigan so I need something for the winter. Road noise is very comparable to the stock Pirellis that was on my truck prior to these. If you do not want the more aggressive look, you should probably go with the Michelins. I have heard nothing but great things about the Michelins. Of course they are a little more expensive but you get what you pay for.

I've only got a little over 40K on mine and I rotate them every time I have the oil changed. My gas mileage went way down after 35K.

Getting a full set of Michelin LTX MS/2 275/55R20's next Monday! Lots of great reports about the LTX on this board!

I couldn't be more pleased with the Michelins.

Railroad tracks fear me!

I agree with everyone who says Michelin LTX MS/2. I live in north eastern Ontario where we get quite a bit of snow. I put them on my 08 Expedition it was night and day compared to the Pirelli STR's that came on it from the factory. Maybe I am the only one who thinks the Pirelli ATR's that came on my Platinum are actually not that bad but next set with most likely be LTX MS/2's cant beat the ride and the low noise from them and the longevity. I put 35000km on mine and they still looked like brand new. When the Pirelli's are worn out on my Platinum it will most likely get Michelin LTX MS/2's kinda pricy but well worth the $$$

Michelin's are a great tire but they are not aggressive enough for me. The terra grapplers and the cooper zeon's are lookin really good.

I don't know about Canada, but there is only $200.00 (for a set difference) between Pirelli Scorpion's and the MS/2's - when you look at the mileage, which has been reported many times as double, the cost of the Michelin's comes out to much less.

I put Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2 on my truck. I love them so far. Thay are one of the rare tires that has white outline in a 20" wheel. ( or you can mount them black letters out.
