i have the michelin ltx a/t tires on my 2000 4wd tundra i bought from costco after i blew my bfg tires on the freeway. been running on them for about 5 years now and threads still in pretty good shape.
imo, if you're looking for "good traction", you have to put up with some noise and michelin ltx a/t is a bit nosier than the original bf goodrich tires. the first few months anyway....just turn the stereo up a bit to drown down the noise.
been on i-80 to reno, nevada many times in the snow and i never had to put on the snow chains (still carry snow chains...just in case.). you just put on 4wd and drive slower.

These tires seem that they soon will need to be replaced due to the tread dept remaining. My question is; can anyone tell me what kind of mileage they got on their original tires and what brand they were. Also, I am thinking of replaceing these tires with Mitchelin LTX tires. Has anyone had any experience with these on thier Tundras. I am in the market for a smooth riding, quiet, good traction tire,(in snow). I do not need a "All Terrain" for off roading. I had the Michelin LTX tires on my 1989 Ford F-150 and they seem like great tires.
Also, I got the ball joint recall notice. I was wondering if these defective ball joints could have any effect on the wear of my BF Goodrich Tires? I had these tires rotated every 5K miles and the air pressure was always correct.
I got better than double the mileage on my 1989 F-150 and they where Firestone ATX's.
How is everyone makeing out with the ball joint recall?
I know this is a lot of questions being asked, but if anyone can help me out with some good advice, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Rice Burner
