Well, it took nearly 1200 posts, but I finally can add something cogent to this thread . . .
Michelin LTX/MS tires--original and MS2--are, in my experience, competent beyond explanation. They are brilliant on the pavement--wet, dry or snowy--and workable in off-pavement situations where you wouldn't expect bupkis. I've certainly drunk the Kool-Aid; I've put them on five different trucks and set six will soon go onto the Hundred.
Ditto... I too drank the LTX/MS and AT Kool-Aid years ago. They are good for 60,000+ miles.
For a decade drove a Ford E350 4x4 Van and put 250K miles on it. Tried many different tires on the van and they all had problems. Switched to LTX/MS and AT on the Van and never had a problem.
.
All in all, with many different vehicles and trailers have put well over 1/2 milllion miles on LTX tires and have never had any problems, not even a flat.
I have no real brand loyalty to Michelin and would switch to different tire if could find one that worked better.
.
FWIW I never rotate tires, when rear ones wear out I switch them to front and buy new tires for rear, then replace all 4 next time.
.
With 40Kmiles on the RV's LTX/MS I'm anxiously waiting for them to wear out so can replace them with larger diameter tires, unfortunately they show little wear.
.
Currently have LTX/MS on 4 vehicles and 1 trailer. LTX/AT on a Jeep JKU Rubicon and matching wheels on a Bantan T3 Trailer.
The Rubicon is all stock except for a mild tire lift 285/65R18. The AT's work pretty good in the snow and are a lot more quiet and smoother than the OEM tires.
