on my old IDI

i got 65K out of Good year ATS in 235/85/16 size tires, with rotation, and balance, and they got good traction, and at SAMS wholesale, were just over 420 dollars mounted and balanced for all four, which means 105 per tire times 6, is about 630 for you.... sorry Jeremy, but they are good tires.... good luck!

Has anyone used the Michelin LTX M/S tires? How do they do in comparison w/ the LTX A/S? I love the smooth ride and handling of the A/S tires. I didn't really even have any issues in 6" - 8" of snow w/ them... just want something a little more aggressive for the drive tires for mud/wet grass traction, but they need to have a long tread life. According to michelin, the wear rating of the A/S is an 8 (out of 10), and the M/S is a 10. But the tradeoff is reduced handling w/ the M/S(7 versus the 10 w/ A/S). I'm still looking at the XPS traction. Higher treadlife than the ltx a/s, great mud and snow traction, but reduced handling. Their ability to be re-capped might be a nice feature, too.
I feel like I'm !!!

Maybe go w/ the LTX A/S on front, and the XPS traction on the rear?

I am running 235/85 16's, and they are load range E. In fact, I had to drop the rear tires to 35 psi to get a good footprint unloaded.

Check tirerack.com.

Broidgestone has a Dueler A/T, and a Dueler A/T Revo...and they are rated different. the a/t's aren't as high a rating as the revo's.

it took me like 10 phone calls to find a dealer who even knew they sold them, and that they were different from the A/T.
