New Michelins on, my truck is back!

I can not understand how those Cooper tires made my truck drive so bad, maybe having 4 tires on back with directional tread. But thats in the past, the Michelins are great!!! I did run it up to 100mph and back down to 70mph on I95 and it was as smooth at 100 as at 50mph. Can't wait till the shocks and fender bling get here. Does anyone know if Bilistein makes a steering shock? It would be nice to keep the yellow and blue boot colors.

Nice to hear about another satisfied customer. What kind did you get?

I bet you'll notice better wet traction....

LTX M/S. Much better wet traction!!! I did like the look of the tread better on the Coopers, but not the ride!

I missed the outcome on your other thread. What did the shop end up doing with you on the Coopers?

Right on!
I had a feeling that would do it.
Not that the Coopers are bad tires, but you love the Michelins.
I guess you know what tires to get from now on.

They did give me the 535 credit, but the price of the Michelins went up a bit. Lets just leave it as a fair out come but I will do things differnt in about 70000 miles.
