Hey there! I'm new to the forum, but I've been reading for a few months while we waited for our ordered XLT Max to arrive. I'd like to thank y'all for the insight and participation. I don't think I've had a question I haven't found answered after a couple searches. Here's our new ride!
With only about 75 miles on the original Michelin Primacy XC's, we used our local Discount Tire (America's Tire here in CA) to swap out for the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in 275 /65 R18 116T XL. Wanted a slightly larger size, but anything larger was E-rated. While we will tow on occasion, the 70,000mi warranty and softer ride made the choice over the E-rated version for the family taxi/road trip car.
I have the previous version of these tires on my F-350 (much larger/E-rated) and have loved them, so naturally was excited to try them on the SUV. We did about 40 miles of driving today after swapping the tires and immediately noticed the improved grip. We don't get much rain in our part of CA, but as the road trip car she will see plenty of rain, dirt roads, and snow in the years to come; need to order some chains for the winter!
Additionally, I was hoping someone might want the Primacy XCs and the oem spare I now have on hand. As stated they have about 75mi on them. DM me if you are interested. (100 posts seems excessive as a requirement for posting in the classified section btw...)
