I have always used an all-terrain tire, so i dont know much about the highway tires.

the guy at Discount Tire was telling me the Michelin LTX MS/2 are the best for my truck, but i wanted to hear what the experts here had to say.

Currently have a 305/65/18 BFG AT, and i have like them, but i want to buy something that is:

1. Not as expensive
2. Will last longer

I would really like to keep my cost under $1000 if possible, but i am flexible. I just dont want to pay for something i am not going to use (read: off-road)

I drive about 500 miles a week all highway.
My car has 128k miles so i would like this to be the last set i buy, for this truck.

 

Tirerack.com rates the Michelin LTX MS/2 the #1 tire in that class, just thought you like to know.

 

One of these three for sure

Goodyear Fortera Trippletread
Michelin Cross Terrain
Michelin LTX M/S2

 

This is what makes a good highway tire: "silica-enhanced all-season compound," and that is from the Michelin LTX M/S2 description. I think I'll get a set of those for my wife's vehicle.

You absolutely can't beat the Michelin LTX M/S line of tires. I had a set on a previous truck and put 60k or more on them without a rotate or balance. I have no doubt they could have made it to 100k. Your gonna spend some money on them but they are the best everyday driving tire.

Forget Goodyear, I and everyone I know has gotten nothing but junk from them.

 

I have bought several sets of Michelin LTX M/S and Cross Ts, but for my last tires, I let a guy talk me into Toyo Proxes ST II. It is the best handling tire by far that I have ever had. Remains to be seen how long they last as I have about 12,000 on them. Look good so far.

 

I've had several sets of LTX's and love them. They are a tad pricey but worth it for lots of road miles. I'm running Toyo Open Country A/T tires now and they are a great highway tire that I wouldn't be afraid to take out for some light off roading.

 

I believe the Nitto Dura Grappler fits your need......I havent heard a lot of reviews on them but the ones I have heard were good.....

 

I've had a set of the Michelin LTX MS/2 on a previous truck and loved them. They ride super smooth and last forever. Currently I have a set on the wifes SUV. Best highway tire out there IMO!

 

Ok cool. Well i do like all the good reports on the michelins.

I am also thinking of putting on 20in Fx4 rims. My brother took his off his truck, will they fit? They are 6 lug too so look like they will fit. He has a 2009 is why I ask.

 

Yep, they'll fit.
