ANOTHER tire question

Its time for new tires.
2012 F350/ 96000ish miles. Mostly all highway miles.
I still have the original Michelin LTX A/T 2 tires. They have 3/32 tread left and have been great in all weather conditions.
Trying to decide on another set of LTX A/T 2's OR Cooper AT3's.
I've had Coopers on all my other trucks and have been very pleased .

Thoughts 🤔

I've heard good things on Cooper. I think they're cheaper too, right? I don't think you could go wrong with either. Whichever ones you can get the best deal on.

I have a friend that works in the huge Michelin plant in South Carolina. He’s told me some R&D/testing stuff they do.

I would never NOT buy a Michelin tire after hearing this, for any vehicle. Might be $30-50 more per tire, but it’s worth it.

I have had both brands. Still feel like the Michelins ride and tract better. Yes they cost more, but I think you get more.
