Although I have a TPMS, I still don't have the confidence in the current tires for extended trips in the south. My dealer has quoted me a price of $984 out the door for 4 Michelin LTX/MS2 70K tires, which in checking is an outstanding price once you consider mounting and such.
Who may have any experience with this tires on their rig to provide feedback on how they perform on the road?
The M&S2 is not a good choice for a trailer tire. To much siping and it has breaks in the outer rib that grab the payment in tight maneuvers, which is hard on suspension components.
The XPS Rib is much better for trailers.
Or the Bridgestone Duravis R250.
The all steel ply carcass of the XPS RIb and R250 will run cooler, track better, and has lower rolling resistance.
