Just this morning I was reading the article of the new Ford Transit Trail all-wheel-drive designed for overlanding folks. Pricing starts around $66k.
I never do see any Michelin tires on my off road jeep trails for whatever reason.
Thank you for your report on your preference of tires.
On my 1978 Ford E250 Ford Transit Trail (home-built in 1993) I run 34-inch rubber for cow-trail grip. hahaha _ _ no Michelins.

Ok, thanks for checking in on me.
We've added about 7k miles to our Van with the Cross Climate tires over the last year... including an 1100 mile round-trip trek north to Oakville (Ontario) - with much of the return trip in the rain.
I am very pleased with the tires, smooth and good bite. I would make the same choice again.
We had a few minutes of extreme highway speeds on the way to and from Canada... no trace of shake or any other issues.
We did not get any snow experience last winter (just firne with me), so nothing to report on that front. I'm not seeing any fuel mileage difference.
Let me know if any specific or other questions.

Are they wearing evenly? I’m waiting for the Black Friday rebate at Costco but this van has an appetite for front inside shoulders to deal with first.
I’d prefer the Agilis LTX but they only have the Agilis CrossClimate.
i see that this thread has been silent for a while...
The Michelins in question had just about 15k miles on them when I sold the van (Jan 2025). They did not look even remotely worn.
I added a 800+ mile trip last summer towing an open car trailer - about 4500# - everything was A-OK.
Rotated twice overall, wear seemed even.
I had no reason to try them in the recent snow... so did not.
Overall - Never any issues of any sort, I would buy those tires again if I needed anything like that.
I just saw this thread and was going to come in to suggest the Agilis Cross Climate, but I see I'm three years too late!
I have some om my motorhome with about 40K on the rear tires and maybe 10-20K on the front. The rears are getting close to needing replaced, but on the duals on the rear of a motorhome that doesn't seem bad.
I also have them on my '97 F-250 with about 30K and a lot of life left. I've been super happy with them there too, with highway driving, city driving, summer and winter.
