Great Tires great service!

My 2016 Ford F250 came with Michelin tires. I've had them replaced by Sams twice now. Services always been terrific, and the longevity of the tires has been equal! I've used the road hazard warranty twice over the years and Sam has not let me down. I highly recommend Sams in their tires, no matter what brand you choose

Quality Tires.

Installed these tires and drove to Baja Mexico, about a 11000. mile round trip. Tires are quiet and smooth, good on dirt roads too. I went a little off road because of damaged roads into some potholes and over rocks. I'm happy with these tires. Didn't find any sidewall damage or scrapes.

LTX Platinum

Michelin LTX Platinum first thoughts is it is a really good tire. Nice smooth ride. Much smoother and better ride than Michelin All Terrain. Don't have enough miles to determine longevity.
