Just put a set of 265/70/17 on my Expedition. Smooth quiet ride, a vast improvement to the Goodyear (junk) Wranglers that came on the vehicle. Lots of people really like this tire . If you are an off road junkie look for something more aggressive. BTW can you order a truck with the Michelin LTX M/S tires from the factory???

Regards, Tim

 

No, cant order, but they are assoc with tire store across the road.

My dad had them befor he sold his truck, and they were great. They got a great grip on the road.

 

Dont have that exact tire,but I just installed Michelin pilot LTX's 285/55/18
on my expy, and man it rides so much smoother and quieter than the stock generals did. Treadwear on these is 400,so Im guessing 40-50,000 miles outa them. Your gonna pay more for the Michelins, but they are well worth the money. The sidewalls also shine better than any tire Ive ever had!!
I use the Meguire's Endurance tire dressing.
Good luck!

Does anyone have these tires? I am getting 265/75/16 on my new supercrew.

How is the ride?

What kind of life expectancy should I expect if I rotate and maintain them well?

Just put second set of Michelins on my 97 Lariat. Best tire for the money. I put 265-75-R16 on this time around. Best rain tire around and very little lost traction on start up. After having Goodyear Wranglers, these are a vast improvement. Yo won't be sorry with the Michelins.

I aslo have that same tire. Working in a tire shop, I dertimined that would be the best tire to go with and let me tell you, I was not let down! All around handling was much improved. the ride is perhaps slightly louder than the goodyear ap's but not noticible. I expect to get roughly the same wear, 40-50k, just make sure to take care of them. For 600$, it's not worth it not to rotate! I'm sure you'll enjoy them.

2000 4.2 Supercab XLT
What I've done: K&N filter, Magna flow custom exaust (From where cat's join, 3"in, two 2.5" out the rear), Michelin LTX M/S 265/75/16's, MTX Thunderform custom box with two 6000 series 8" subwoofers and Mtx 120 amp.
Plans: Lund hood deflector, superchip, Poweraid, Xenon sport Flares, (custom ram-air idea?)
New: Pioneer DEH-P6300 Head unit (I definately reccomend it!)

 

I'd like to go with this exact tire on my 2WD Supercrew. Will it fit OK on the 4X2?

I don't want to have to change anything but the tire.

Thanks.

 

michelins are ok in the south but they are horrible if you live in the snow belt . . i've had several sets of michelins on new cars and have disliked every set . . no traction on wet, ice, or snow . . . personally, i'd go for bridgestone dueler ATs rather than michelin any day . .
