I didn’t mind mine either and would have kept them if it weren’t for a plug in one and a chunk of sidewall missing on another. Replacing at 21k miles.I got 56k miles out of my last set of Dynapro AT2’s. Rotated every 6k with my oil change. So count me in as a fan of Hankook.
All very good to know, sounds like we have similar driving habits. However, at the tire shop this morning I found out their tire load rating of 110 wasn’t high enough for my Navigator, it requires a tire load measurement of 114. So I ordered the Yokohama YK-HTX instead. Hoping for good results as I have always rode on Michelins myself.
Yeah, the Expedition is the same way. I decided to go with it anyway. We do not tow with ours, so I figured it’d be ok.
I asked my tire guys today about the Michelin LTX AT/2 tires - I had the P version on my 2006 Expedition and really like them, especially in the winter. I am thinking of putting the LT version on my 2018 Expedition, but the guys there don't recommend it. I don't buy his explanation that the extra weight of a 10-ply tire will wear out or damage the Expy's undercarriage - what does he think this is, a RAV4?
But, now I'm undecided - I tow a 7000lb+ trailer maybe 10 times per year in the mountains, and I was thinking the stiffer LT tires would help control sway. I expect to lose a bit of quiet and ride quality, but I don't know how much. I didn't find the P version to be much louder but the 2006 wasn't nearly as quiet as the 2018...
Any opinions on putting LT tires on the Expy?
Tech Info on the difference between P and LT: rating 114T vs 123/120R, weight 41 lbs vs. 53 lbs, max load 2365@51psi vs. 3415@80psi
