Default new tires- Michelins LTX M/S2

Just put new tires on--the Michelins. Early review:

Great feel..softer ride but excellent grab. Good wet traction. No road noise.

The tire store owner said he hadn't yet seen them in 20s yet--but he had em in 17s and was "the best truck tire he ever owned"

fyi..I like them a lot so far--are worth the extra money if your looking for all season touring type tires.

I had a set of LTXs on my old '89 Dodge Raider (Mitsubishi Montero clone) almost 20 years ago. They replaced the stock Goodyear Wranglers that needed it before they were even two years old. I guess stocker Goodyears havn't gotten any better over the years. The Michelins were pricey even back then. I'm sure they've changed a good bit over the years, I'd bet your M/S2 versions don't even look remotely like mine did.
Handled GREAT on the road, wet or dry pavement, not bad on hard packed snow & ice (I grew up in upstate NY).
Were even ok off-road as long as I didn't get into anything deep. Only negative I can say is that they wore faster than I thought they should have for a rather expensive tire...
