Tires - Again - Still - Yet
I wasn't looking for Tire Trouble, just servicing rear brakes, but noticed cracking in the tread on the inner dual tires. So, I need new ones and so far I've looked at: Michelin - LTX MS/2 Fires...

For me it's Michelins on everything. Last year I went to get my Michelins rotated ( every 7K miles ) for free, they had 40K miles on them still had plenty of tread, and were 5 years old. Dealer noticed some hair line cracks, called Michelin and they gave me $70.00 / tire credit on a new set.
My tires get abused out here in the sun 24/7 with temps 120 plus every day in the summer.
One last comparison. I had a new set of tires on a truck I bought, but I wanted the better ride of the Michelins so I switched them out. I took the "take offs" and put them in the truck, and handed the installer the Michelins. OH MY the difference in the weight was phenomenal between the two tires. The Michelins had what seemed like twice the rubber/weight of the ones that were on the rig.
Go to a store and try lifting the Michelin RIB and feel the weight of those tires LT245/75R16
LT245/75R16 Load range E ....3042 lbs MAX LOAD.
