new 18" michelins installed

just got new michelin LTX AT2
275/70R18 E installed

they have a very nice aggressive tread with big outside edge lugs

they are very quiet , only a slight buzz sound when you drive along
a fence etc.. otherwise you cant hear them.

much better traction than the contis.
ride is a little smoother and compliant on the highway

they got me for 260 /tire plus mount/bal/stems etc

Got any pics you can e-mail? Looking at new tires too. Would like to get a look at them mounted and bolted on a truck. Hope you get many miles out of them. Thanks

They look sweet, quite possibly exactly what I'm looking for. I noticed they are made in a 275/65/r20. Please give us more info as you test them out. Wet traction, dry traction, mud, wet grass, handling etc. Hope you like them as they look very good in online pics.

I just got a set on mine about 2 weeks ago. Same size as yours. I haven't had an oportunity to take them offroad yet, but I like them on the street.

I will be pulling the 5th to the desert in a couple of weeks so I'll get a chance to try them out on the trails.

BTW. I paid $935 out the door with an $80 michelin discount from Discount. (They beat Costco's price)

Looks like there's a new tire for everyone to examine on this forum!
