To be honest michelin doesn't make the best looking tire if your going for looks. But they make the best tire for drive ability. They will last longer and ride better then any other tire brand IMO.

I currently have the Lt Wrangler's. Do the P rated Michelin's handle a load really good, I really don't want to have to go to an E rated tire. I'm surprised Michelin does not make a C rated truck tire.

I went with the P rated, mileage is about the same, & the speedo seems about the same as well. Relative to the speed on my nav unit it's pretty dang close as it's always been.

I tow a 5k lb boat and it feels much better than it did with the GY's, they were pretty squishy with a load, the Michelins feel solid and still ride extremely well. Road noise is impressive and traction in the wet is much improved, have not had it an any snow yet.

Just put Firestone Destination AT on my SCREW EB. They ride great, do excellent in the rain. and I can tell you about towing in a couple of weeks. Plus, I called the local Firestone store on a Sunday and they sold me the stock 275-65-18 for $848 out the door!

Check TireRack and the top two AT tires are Firestone Destination AT and the Michelin M/S2s. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.

He is very right wouldnt even consider the others, Duratracs are amazing tires for snow and ice they are great in mud they dont wear to bad I recomend rotating often just as extra caution. And they look awesome to.

What did you replace? I take it you went with the P rated.
