- kopy_katExplorerDitched the Michelins at 20,000 miles and installed Toyo open country extreme 295/65/20 on my 2012 F350....they have an over 4,000 Ib. Per tire weight rating. While I don’t carry that much weight, I do like the safety margin I believe they give me. Just my 2 cents worth.
Larry - DannyAExplorerMichelin!
- cummins2014ExplorerSome are catching on to Sailuns on their fifth wheels, and the same for the Sailun Terramax AT's on their trucks. I like the Toyo AT2's ,but Sailun Terramax will be my next .
- neal10aExplorerMy F350 had Michelins that got 85K miles. I installed Nitto grablers and they seem to be wearing well so far with 10K miles.
- RAS43Explorer IIIHad to get the Michelin LTX's off as the cracking was terrible. They had 42000 miles out of a 70000 mile warranty. Dealer and Michelin were no help. After a lot of research I bought Toyo Open Country HT's. Good price online, shipped to a close by dealer who did a great job. This was my first online purchase outside of Costco and I am very satisfied. Price was around $900 total with a lifetime alignment plan included.

- rwessExplorerNever ever anymore Michelin"s on my truck. Bought a set of the LTX's when they still had the 70,000 mile warranty. They cost me $1250 at Discount Tire. They only lasted 36,000 miles! Decided that I was not going to replace them with Michelin, Went to Discount Tire to complain about them and they said they would sell me a new set of Michelin LTX Defenders installed for $580.00, due to warranty considerations on my original set of tires. . I said Uhm, that's a good price and I bought another set. They have now been reduced to a 40,000 mile warranty because they do not last.
I asked the manager how long these new tires will last and he said that you will be lucky to get 40,000 miles out of them.
My OEM tires were Bridgestones (do not remember model) and they lasted over 60,000 miles. When these Michelin's are gone I will either go back to Bridgestone or maybe try Cooper or Toyo's.
I use Michelin's on all my cars and they are good and last a long time. - LIKE2BUILDExplorerI've been satisfied with Firestone Transforce AT tires on both my old and new truck.
- I have Nitto Dura Grappler and love them...
- BusdriverExplorer III like the nitto crossteck have good luck with them.
