Tires needed..............Highway mostly driven

[chuck s]

Michelin's were the best tires I even owned -- in 1968...

I have Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires. I drive mostly paved roads/streets and the occasional snow and I bought them primarily for comfort on dry roads and they perform reasonably well. I bought them brand new from a Toyota dealer which took them off a brand new SUV that they upgraded to the big mud tires so I got a good deal.

Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires have worked well for me on 3 SUVs.

I live in the snow belt in N W PA. I never saw a need for anything more than all season. Not like we get the mountain snows like out west.. I do keep heavy winter tires on the back of my duelly f350.. but more for off the road

Ditto. They've been great since I've had the truck. About to replace the ones I have with another set from BJs that seems to have the same deal as Sams on these tires.

Screwed the pooch, Micheln is no longer having the deal at BJs or Costco from what I can see. Bummer.

Yeah, dead. Costco does have $150 off 4 ($70 off + free install) Bridgestone until 4/13. Chase Freedom also still has 5% cashback at Costco until 3/31.

After exploding a set of recapped tires that took off a fender in my teens, I moved up...

Spent my life buying the cheapest American tires I could find -- Generals, Coopers, Good Year. Every 16,000 miles I'd replace them because they wore out.

Found a set of Michelin Defender LTX's on Craigslist. They now have 50,000 miles on them, and have been the quietest, nicest, well balanced tires I ever drove. I will NEVER buy anything else. EVER!

I went from Cooper to Michelin. Not even a comparison Michelin is better in every single way for a road going highway tire. Never will buy a cooper again. It’s like a Chevy vs a Cadillac.

Dang. I’ve got at least 16k miles on my Coopers. I guess I should start shopping for tires. They appear to have plenty of tread on them, but according to your anecdotal account, they should be ready to be worn out.

I live in New Hampshire and have been running with the Michelin Defender LTX's (on 2nd set) on my 2010LimitedExpy. Most all highway miles. These tires are very quiet, very comfortable ride with good steering responsiveness, and the tread life is amazing. As with most all you have posted their experience here, this is a premium tire at a premium price. I think that price is worth it. I religiously rotate my tires and am ensuring tire pressures are always spot on. You can highway run these tires run with confidence on dry or wet pavement. The bad? They are not a very good snow/slush/ice tire...and I am not talking about "deep" snow.

Another tire that I had extremely good experience with are the Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVOs. I ran through 3 sets of these. These are a bit more aggressive looking (and had raised white walls) and performing tire. I ran these on my 98EBExpy, again mostly highway miles. These were a great replacement to the OEM Wranglers. The REVOs rocked on all accounts, but really shined in wet and winter weather driving for me, especially in traction/steering response in the winter. When compared to the Michelins, I found the REVO's were not as quiet/smooth as the Michelins, the tread life shorter, and they were very sensitive to wear along the inner/outer most treads, despite my constant rotation and tire pressure monitoring. Still a VERY GOOD TIRE.
