BobsYourUncle,
We get the same very long life and great traction with our 4 sets of Michelin "E" tires also and have since our first set of Michelin LTX 265/75/16 "E" M&S tires back on our 1993 Chev 2500 Ext Cab LB 4X4 that almost always had the 9.5' Lance TC on it's back. Replaced them with new same Michelins after over 89K on them.
Our new set of Michelins that's now on our current Chevy D/A CC LB 4X4 truck are LTX 265/75/16 "E" M&S2 tires that replaced the 265/75/16 "E" M&S Michelins with over 94K on them and still had 3+/32 of tread left over the wear bars and had NO sidewall cracks showing yet. I even took some very close up pics and emailed the pics to a forum member about a month before the 2 front tires were replaced. I'd replaced the rears a couple months earlier because I didn't want to take any chances with 7 year old high miles rear tires with having the 11'4" very heavy Lance TC that's on the truck as we were going up into the U.P. and going on several dirt backroads where it wouldn't be funny to have a blown tire on.
The Michelins are simply a superb tire and we won't have anything else on our trucks or SUVs as we have lived the difference and know like you do also.
