Thanks for the feedback. I'm still researching and will finalize my decision this weekend. I am leaning towards the Bridgestone R250's based on information received here and other websites. Just want to make sure the Bridgestones are similar quality tires as the Michelin Ribs. On a set of 4 tires, the difference is about $250 (per Tire Rack & Discount Tires). The original tires on our Titanium were 235 80 16, but that size is not available anywhere that I can find on these LT tires.
I ran Ribs for 6.5 years and 40K+ miles and sold them for 200 bucks on CL. This time I bought R250's, which I feel are just as good or better that the Ribs. Coming up on three years this fall with the R250's. Not air pressure loss, track straight as an arrow. No sign of wear yet. Bought the R250 based on the lower price and VERY happy.
Both will out live ST tires 2-3 times and provide about as great of service as there is available.
