Michelin LTX AT2

Is any one running the Michelin LTX AT2 in LT-275/65R20? I have always ran The Michelin LTX M/S tires in 16's and loved them but these are not available in load range E in the 20's

You may want to do a search of this forum. Their was a thread or two about those tires a while back. The people that have bought them have been very happy with them, if I recall correctly.

I have them although a different size (275 65 18) and love them so far. I only have around 6k on them. But I have no complaints yet. The worst weather I have had them in so far is a huge downpour and not a hint of hydroplaning. They are quiet and give a very nice ride, espiecially for a E rated tire. I will be towing my TT this weekend for the 1st time, so I cant wait to see how they do with that on them. It weights around 10k so it will be a nice little test for around 1k miles. From all the research I did this is an excllent tire in all categories.

Based upon input from this site through using the search tool, I decided to install the LTX AT2 on my 07 PSD 4x4 CC which pulls a 10Klb 28' enclosed toy hauler.

The only issue I have, and was documented in other threads, is that the gaps between tread blocks are rather wide and prone to pick up good sized rocks. And then once running up to moderate speeds, they are ejected.

That is the only complaint I have with them.

I have been runnig them(275 65 18) for over a year. I have had them off road, in snow and mud (not supper muddy) I really like them. I have about 27,000 miles on them. other than at about half worn out the side bars show up. I will buy them Again. Just my two cents.

Thanks again every one. I have pics of my 06 SD in a album listed in the 67s . Its called CJ's 67 F100 Ranger on page 9 of the 67s. Sorry I don't know how to link it to here. Its the silver regular cab and I really like the look and ride with the 20's on it.
