Default Sorry...more tire questions (michelin)

This post is in reference mainly to the michelin ltx a/t2. Anyone running them? Pics would be great. I am specifically looking at the 285/65/18. I plan on leveling the truck after the bfg's wear out, and want to compliment the leveling kit with a different set of rubber.

I want a tire with mild offroad capabilities but is still very forgiving on the street, and most of all will yield better mileage than the bfg's. I also want to step up just a hair in size, but dont think I want to go with 305's, these tires look like a good fit for me, but just wanted some other opinions. Any input on other tires is also welcome. And to those who are wondering I did do a search, and yielded very little results on these tires.

Michelin LTX A/T2 or LTX M/S

Michelin LTX M/S or Bridgestone Dueler Revo's?


Maybe this will help

i love my AT2's i couldnt have asked for a better tire thus far, but the ride feels alot softer, especially turn ins and turn outs, i also got some steering wheel shimmy after they put it on, some sort of balance issue, but it comes and goes actually, just gotta take it to discount where i bought them, i will take pics and post them tomorrow for you

i have 2 sets and for AT2's i have no issues with them but the set on my 06 had 1 tire that would not Road Force balance but the place where i bought them replaced it for free and dealership did not charge me x2 for Road Force balance on it! Anyone can build a bad tire and i was surprised this new set had a tire that had 53 Lbs and would not balance but i got 4 good ones now, overall happy with them and they do not ride as smooth as the OEM Duelers and did not expect them to. now i am not scared to drive on wet grass but if you want a smooth road ride these are OK for me but nothing near as smooth as the MS/AS Michelins. It never rains here in NM so MT is kinda not needed and these tires will take the abuse of the elements better than others in my opinion and i am liking them so far!

Definately look forward to the pics. That is really what I was in hopes for. Also, what size did you go with?

When you added the different size tire, did you have to do anything to get the speedo calibrated? Program the ECU or anything?
