Like Cummins12V98, I have driven way over a million miles on Michelins and never had one crack or fail and they are quiet and have excellent traction. It's all I've ever replaced the OEM tires with for over 30 years now on both my business truck/vehicle tires an our personal trucks, suv's, and cars. Usually get about 100,000 plus miles on a set ove them. Never less than 90,000. Our Chevy CC LB 4X4 D/A truck just had new 265/75/16 "E" LTX M&S2 tires put on again last fall to replace the 265/75/16 M&S tires that had just under 100,000 on them last fall that had been on the truck since 2006 (8 years) and they had no cracks but the tread was down to 3-4/32 depth and winter was coming so it was time. Never had a blowout or a failure on any of the Michelin tires but did on a Goodyear trailer tire and a Bridgestone truck tire. Luckily, no damage done.
The D/A truck, ordered new, has only been used with our big heavy 11'4" Lance TC on it or pulling our Carriage Carrilite 5th wheel (12,840 lbs scale weighed) and a few times pulling our TT that we recently sold. We have other vehicles and they have Michelins on them also. Very good in snow as we live in West Michigan on the Lake Michigan shoreline and drive up to the U.P. in the winter often as it's gorgeous all year around up there. Never had any problem with traction in the snow with the Michelins. Fantastic tires!
