New and Old Skins

Just replaced the second set of Michelins at 108k on my 15 RAM DRW. First set installed at 200 miles and those MS2's went 40k. Received $650 towards any tire any brand because they were toast well before the 60k warranty. So I gave the "new and improved" MS2's a shot and they made it 68k with plenty of tread left.

They don't make the MS2's any longer so the top of the line replacement is the AT2's and I went with those at an out the door price of $1,850 at Discount Tire in NW WA. To compare I got a quote from Costco same day same tire at $2,030 out the door. I could have made it to SoCal easily and purchased the tires down there but I get good pricing locally with the Manager.

So far the tires feel solid with no squirm and nice and smooth. Time will tell if I will get the mileage of the last MS2's.

YIKES, that does not sound good. New truck with new tires is certainly a way to go.

If I had a choice I would have stayed with what I had but time will tell. If I don't get 60k they will be giving me some $$$.

For my style of driving, I like the new ones. Unless the new ones have a harder rubber compound, looking at 10% less miles IMHO.
I do like the look.

Pretty confident these new AT2 tires won't last as long as your previous MS2 tires.
