I WAS ALL SET TO BUY 4 MICHELIN LTX MS's. $175 / tire for 10ply commercial, $145/ tire for standard. THE TIRE DEALER RECOMENDED BRIDGESTONE DUELER A/T REVO WITH UNI-T AQ . HE CLAIMS THEY GET GREAT WET AND SNOW TRACTION. MY TRUCK IS MOSTLY ON ROAD DRIVING AND THESE ARE A/T TIRES. HE WANTS $149/TIRE FOR THE 10 PLY BRIDGESTONES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE TIRES? I AM STILL LEANING TOWARDS THE MICHELIN'S!

 

Why would you consider a 10ply E load rated 80psi max tire for a F150, you would feel every grain of sand in the road

A 6ply, C load rated, 50psi max tire would ride and handle really good from 35psi empty to 50psi fully loaded.

Check out the Michelin LTX A/T's at www.1010tires.com in a LT265/75R16.

Be sure to consider the diameter of your spare when buying new sized tires. Also consider the state tax you will pay when buying locally verses buying tires online.

 

BFG All terrain's !! I have been running them for year's & they give great alll around traction & tuff as nail's.

 

The only problem with BFG all T. is the damn side walls: their softer than the Michelins.
I have the BFG on my truck right now...they are a good tire, but I'm going to switch to michelins when these wear out.

a family member has over 60,000 mi. on his Michelins and the tread is still 75% intact. ( F-150 lariat)

 

...was like getting new brakes for me, even when it wasn't wet.

I got the LTX M/S and the traction is amazing. Don't know if the BFGs are as good.

 

I have the regular LTX M/S tires and have been happy with them.
The new Cross Terrains are supposed to be even better but are more expensive. The Yokomaha Geolander H/Ts are good too.

10 or even 8 ply will be overkill, not to mention rough.
