Michelin LTX tire prices??

Want to get a set of new tires for our just-acquired 2012 GMC 2500HD. Was thinking of getting Michelin LTX (245/75R17) because we had them on our F250 and I liked them. Bought those 4 or so years ago. Their cost seems to have gone way up tho. from what I recall. Best price at the time was at a Walmart.

Just started some googling and I see that Amazon has them for about 1/2 of everyone else which doesn't seem right. I'm seeing prices in the $200-300 range per each while Amazon has them for $102.50 with free shipping. Amazon prices.

What am I missing? They also list the same tire with a price of $227.99. The only difference I can see is a speed rating of s vs R and maybe the lower cost one may not have a factory warranty? Then there's the question of the date code and how they are.

$410 for a set of 4 sure sounds nice compared to around $1K or so but is too good to be true.

  • The tires are being sold by Performance Tire & Wheel through the Amazon store. They have good reviews plus a phone number and email contact. I would check with them about the age of the tires and ask about the "too good to be true" price.

    Ask about the weight rating. Even though these tires are named "LTX" I don't think that they are LT tires. These tires only weigh 32lbs according to the specs. The more expensive tire weighs 44.3lbs. I suspect that you want the sturdier tire on a 2500 truck.
