The MS2 I had put on my 2012 F250 handled great but don't last when toving.

My experience as well. In fact, the factory Goodyears on my new 2015 Denali are likely going to last WAY longer than the Michelins on my previous Silverado, same engine, same cab, same box, but the 2015 is 500lbs heavier. And actually I'm impressed with the goodyears. Usually not impressed with factory tires, but these seem to be good.

If your referring to the SRA them are cheap bottom of the barrel junk. What is there to like about them?? Poor traction, harsh ride and lots of folks having vibration issues with them. Pulled mine off at 8k mi and haven't looked back. There are so MANY better tires out there than the SRAs.

well, my son has my old silverado with the Michelin's. All I can say is that the Denali with the "Cheap bottom of the barrel Gooodyear SRA's" run circles around the silverado with "expensive top of the line" michelins for wet and dry traction, stopping, ride quality and quietness and likely tread wear life. Compared to the Goodyears, The michelins are absolutely horrible in the rain, and dry traction is not as good either. And the goodyears don't have any vibration either.

If Les Schwab wouldn't have jacked up the price on Toyo's, I go for them over Michelin any day of the week.

I gave up on michelin tires for cars year ago, had them on a van in the 80's and wasn't impressed, but then when the silverado needed new tires decided to give them a try again when Les upped the price on Toyo's. Still think for my use and our weather they are overpriced and underperformance. For the silverado the ONLY LRE studdless winter tire option was Michelin. Again, not apples and apples but they aren't near as good as the Bridgestone Blizzaks I have on my high performance sedan. Way better than a M&S tire, but not up to the blizzaks IMHO.

Once the Denali needs new tires, Cooper is one I'll be looking at based on other friends experiences.
