Tire swap

I swap out my Goodyear Wrangler SRA 275/65/18 tires for some Michelin AT2 275/70/18. I am very pleased with this move. Michelin look great on the truck and are just as quiet as the GY. I can't really tell any difference in ride with the 10 ply Michelins.

Actually I had just cleaned up the truck and tires. That shine is a result of the best tire shine product on the market (Cover All by Superior).

Never heard of it..... Sounds like I need to do some googling!

Did some research, does it sling? how long does it last? Do you know of any retail places that carry it?

I get mine at O'Rielly's auto parts. It lasts long and it will sling unless you wipe off excess. It is the best I have found that gives a good lasting shine.

That is also a 33" tire. You will not regret it.

I'm looking to get a lighter tire to improve fuel mileage...I don't need a 10 ply tire anymore since I retired but still need some traction. Great review's on the Michelin LTX tires also.
