LTX/MS are the best

I think these are the best tires made for a light pickup. I have ran them for many years on all of my trucks. After they are installed it's unbelievable the difference in the feel and handling when you leave the tire store. They last a long time. Treadwear is greeeeaaaat !

Love'm

Best tires I've ever purchased! I put them on both of my Tacomas and I'm on my second set on my current daily driver. I get close to 100k miles on each set. Yes, I rotate them and run the appropriate tire pressure as scheduled. The handling of my truck in adverse weather is so much better with my Michelin Defender LTX M/S...even in hurricane rain they grip the road while other vehicles are hydroplaning
