Nothing beats Michelin.

as much as I hate paying that bill - I agree, I have never been let down by a pair of Michelins. Enjoy, Mike

I don't know anything about tires, and I know this thread is for the Michelin LTX A/T tires, but how are the Michelin LTX A/S tires? My Expo came with the Chrome Cladded P255/70R-18 wheels, and Discount Tire only lists the A/S as the only Michelins they have to fit my rim.

Thanks!

my uncle had them on his truck and they last for a very long time. they actually did gret offroad. im talking about ltx m/s's im not very fimiliar with all season michelins but im sure thyre just as good

I am running the 265x70x18 m/s2's on my 06 expy. got them in May and have put around 8k on them. they have seen a little bit of sand but I really do not take it off road. I am pretty sure my wheels came off of an F150 though because my OASIS report shows the vehicle shipping with 265x70x17's. They are a little noisier than I expected but they have not slipped on me once even through our rainy season down here (a little light this past year). I would definitely buy them again unless I wanted to change the appearance of the vehicle. Thanks, Mike.

have to agree reference the quality of Michelin tires they are simply the best. Not cheap VS other brands but the tires are the only thing keep your car on the road so it’s money well spent.

I have the LTX MS2 on another truck. Not the Navigator, they are great tires with long life.

I was once told there are 2 kinds of tire.

1. Michelin
2. Mistake

+1; on my second set.

75,000 on the first set rotating every 5,000 miles using the four-wheel; back-to-front, fronts-to-oppsite rear. 30 psi front, 32 rear.

PanHandler.

I've got the Michelin LTX M/S on my Mountaineer and hate them. My primary reasons for buying them were a smoother highway ride and treadwear. Although they do ride fairly well on the highway, the treadwear has been terrible; they're rated at 60K and at 40K, they're toast. Moreover, the grip in turns sucks and their snow/ice performance sucks as well. At $422 for the set (235/75R15), I'm not bitter about it, but I wouldn't buy them again. I may check out some Generals next time around as the ones on my wife's Mazda are awesome.

Strange for sure, all we run on our F-250 and F-350s are the LTX AT2 or MS depending on where the guy is working, if it's sandy they go with the MS as they float much better, if it's mixed they go with the AT2s. We're seeing 50-6K miles out of the AT2s and 80-100 out of the MS. These truck are easily twice the weight of your Mountaineer and put down at least twice maybe 3 times the torque too which has a significant impact on life. I'm wondering on tire pressure and alignment. PS if they are rated for 60K and you got down to 2/32nd with at 40K you will get a prorate of 20K miles, go get another set and see if they work better, they've sold too many sets to be "suck".

I have the LTX M/S on my Escape. Fantastic tires. On heavier vehicles they don't seem to last nearly as long. I've got close to 25,000 miles on mine and they look brand new still. Quiet in the dry, snow/ice traction is great, and they seem to wear like iron.

Alignment is good and tires are wearing evenly. They're inflated to +2 over Ford's spec if I recall correctly. I know they're highly rated, which is why I got them, but my singular experience with them simply hasn't been a good one. I'm not too bothered with replacing them as the Mountaineer will be up for sale as soon as the dealer can get their act together and deliver my Expedition EL.

On my 2016 F350 it came with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. Ran 97,000 km (60,000 miles)beford I replaced them. They worked hard as well, daily loads on the truck deck of 3,000 pounds.

The only down side for me was as an A/T tire they had challenges once off road.
