How are Michelin LTX ms2's for tires?

My original Generals are starting to ride really crappy.
I ordered Michelin LTX ms2's (265/70/17) to be installed Saturday.
Do you have them?
Do you like them?

No complaints.
I bought M/S about six years ago, they have 50,000 on them.
Still have half the tread. I'm just watching the sidewalls for cracks now.
No way I could take all the tread off these tires before Father Time got them.

My LTX M/S's have 117,000 miles on them and 5/32" of tread left. Discount Tire says that the M/S2 is even better, but I don't know anyone with them. I bet you'll be very satisfied.

my uncle had them on his silverado. got 21 mpg's with them and they lasted forever plus, even though they are not agressive by any means, they did really good off road for an all season

Newest Version

They are the newer version on the LTX MS tire. I had the older version and now have the newer ones. They are rated for 70k whereas the older ones were rated for 60k but many people got 80k out of them before buying new tires. They are great tires. I got over 50k on my last set and had alot of tread left buy road hazzards ruined two of the tires so I upgraded. Excellent street tire.

You can correct Scottiesan

8k or so. These tires make my truck ride like it was new.
They are super quiet, and gave me great traction over the lousy snowy winter. We live on the outskirt of our town, and the plows come late.
I'm normally on the road at 5:15ish....there were many a morning I had to drive though a lot of snow to get to work. These tires drove through it like nothing. I'm really glad I got them
...and for when I did...prices on tires have gone up 20%, along with the gas increases.
