Tires
Hey Guys,
Any you tire experts out there! I am replacing the tires on my 1997 F150 Extend Cab 4x2 with either the Michelin Cross Terrain or the Michelin XC-LT4 tires. I want a smooth, quiet ride, but yet good on wet roads. I went to the Michelin web site and all kinds of info on the Cross Terrain, but could not even see the XC-LT4 tire listed. I saw both of the tires at the dealer and both look good, had comparible tread, and the price was pretty much the same.
Look forward to any comments.
Thanks!

The XC-LT4 is produced by Michelin for Sears and other retailers, and won't be mentioned at the Michelin website. The tire pattern is similiar to the LTX A/T, but not quite as agressive. I haven't seen the Cross Terain, but it may be similiar. I installed these on my 98 F150 Ext Cab 4X4 last month, and I'm real happy with them. They ride quiet, and are surefooted in the rain (especially here in Florida). I haven't been off-road much yet, but the little I have, they ride good in the dirt. I paid $130 each for 265/75/16 at Sears.

sounds good,, the goodyear rts on older fords chop and dont last due to frame. they make a special goodyear tire for these fords that u dont have to rotate... i have a 99 f150 with goodyear ats,,, aquatread,, they slide all over,, so much for top of the line tire,, plus had two flats with nails going in the big water gap. tell u the truth,, dont see to many fords with michelins on them. check with bridgestone.
