Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. Does anybody have a set on a Gen 3 that they can snap a pic of and send to me?

Lawdog800,

How is the ride with those Michelins? I'm assuming it is great, but do you have any specific observations about wet traction or ride harshness?

Thanks!

 

I have about 20k on my Michelin LTX A/T2 tires and really like them.

The grip wet was much better than the stock Michelin tires. The tries were a little more road noise, a guess is 2x compaired to stock. You only notice the noise in the summer with the windows down (rare around here this year ).
In the winter I didn't have to use 4 wheel drive on every snow fall, 2-3" I would just not even bother engaging the front.

After 20k on the tires the wear is not a problem I got 60k on the first set I guess the same on these too. I mounted my tires with the lettering facing the inside, really not to wild about tire lettering.

 

I run the AT/2 tires on both trucks noted in my signature and have been very pleased with their overall performance. I definately observed a big improvement over the stock LTX tires in regards to traction in wet grass and loose road surfaces. I felt that the stock LTX tires were a very good highway tire that wore like iron; albeit, lacked grip that a tire with a more aggressive tread pattern would provide. In addition to grip, I searched for a tire that would wear as well but perform significantly better than the stock LTX tires did and gambled that the ATX 2 would fit the bill.

My 01.5 currently has 37000 miles on the Michelin AT/2s which are wearing like iron. They perform very well and have exceeded my expectations. I would expect to get at least 75,000 miles out of them. The AT/2s on my 03 have gone 20000 miles so far with very little wear. I would like to get 75000 miles out of them as well. Given their condition so far, it appears that this goal is within reach.

 

Got 60K on original LTX.They were horrible on anything but hard road.Have 2K on A/T'2S and love them.Night and day difference

 

^^^^ Couldn't agree more!!!

 

I switched to the AT2s long before the original BFGs were done - for the improved winter traction. After 10 months:
- winter traction does seem better than the BFGs (but it's hard to tell how much because you can never do a side by side compare on the same roads)
- the AT2s seem to hum a little more at speeds more than 65 mph - not a big deal, just a little more noise
- one tire had to be replaced because of flaws in the sidewall - bubbles and voids began to appear along the line where the side wall and tread plies come together. Don't know how significant this would have been - the Sears store where I bought them agreed it didn't look right and replaced it under warranty. Keeping a close eye on the others but I suspect it was just a problem with that one tire.

Overall I am pleased and would do it again
