What should I do with these tires?

Just purchased a new Nissan Armada with some really nice Michelin radial X P275/60 R20 tires. Max cold is 51psi.

My question is, should I run these until they need to be replaced or should I switch out to an LT. I've had Michelin LTs before and let loved them, if I remember correctly those were max 80psi cold.

It's the softer sidewall I'm sure I'll notice, but I doubt I'll get much credit on these even though they're new. Any thoughts?

    I would run them and not think twice about it.

    However...I've had great luck getting good money for used tires - some near new, others nearly worn-out - on Craiglist.

    Run them till they wear out.... There rated to hold whatever your truck will handle.

    My thought is it depends on what your weights are. If the axle and tire weights are within specs, I would air them to max PSI while towing and wear them out. If you're over the ratings well, that decides it for you. You could sell them on Craigslist rather than trade them in. You should get more for them that way. Good luck.
