As a follow-up, even though I had delaminating issues with one tire in my prior set of Michelins, I swapped out the load E rating for the P rating after one trip down the freeway.

I have a super bad back and the load range E tires rode stiffer, which I expected and didn't mind, but the load rating E tires also transferred just enough vibration to the point where I experienced back pain within a mile of highway speeds. Nothing wrong with the tires, the problem is with me and my back back.

Kudos to Michelin for having a 30-day ride guarantee in place that allowed my local Ford dealer to swap out the load class E tires for the standard tires for only $80.00, the cost of mounting and balancing the tires.

My silverado has been flawless so far. The only thing I miss is the eco-boost engine.

WTF does that have to do with the price of rice in China? Or Michelin tires for that matter?

For what it's worth the newly released Defender LTX M/S comes in a few new sizes, one of which is the 285/60/20 which was typically only a Goodyear size. I think this will be my next tire as I love the M/S2.

Eric, love your crew cab long bed, I love red trucks. I too really like the LTX MS2 but like someone said they are bad in mud and while I don't do much mudding, I do drive around my fields and they slip quite a bit in grass and dirt so I will have to stay with AT tires. Anyway, wanted to ask if your truck was a max tow, I didn't see row mirrors but those can be swapped off. Also, what mud flaps are you running, I am shopping for some now. Thanks.
