    Any feedback on the new michelins? I have long been an advocate of the ltx and logged 80 to 100k on several sets as have others. A few years back they renamed them to ms2's or some crap and I have heard from 2 people they only got 50 to 60 k out of them?

    ms2's have been around since the late 90s?

    I've got the ltx ms2's. Have about 91,000 miles on them...getting pretty close to the wear bars but not quite.

    My mickey thompson's on my duramax finally gave up the ghost, so it is time to order new tires. I really like Toyo's, they have a new tread design out called the R/T. Same specs as the M/T, they use the same compounds and everything, just a slightly different tread pattern. Has anyone heard anything about them? I cant decide in between them or the A/T 2s.

    I heard they are supposed to fit between the All terrain and mud terrain tires. More aggressive then A/T, less than M/T

    Loved my AT2s. Would have replaced them last time, but needed new tires for the shiloh trip and they were 2 weeks out. I will go back to the AT2s once these Coopers wear out. The RTs look nice too

    The r/t is a 33-12.50 and the a/t is a 295/75r18 which measures 34.3-11.8. They are the same price.

    I think I am going to the AT2s soon. These KOs just don't last like the old compound used to.

    I have 45k on my Nitto TerraGrapplers and probably have another 5k left before I am going to need to retread. They have lasted better than anything else I have had (even the 19.5's on the old red truck) and I haul all the time for work and keep a 100 gallon nurse tank full too.

    MT/Rs are a great tire. I liked the old tread pattern better though.

    The thing about Goodyear mtr's is they suck in the mud, but they are equally ****ty on rocks in my opinion. I owned a set of 37's. I guess it's an ok street tire, but for Offroad I was not impressed. They are harder than the gates of hell, so mileage should be good.

    I cross shopped them with BFG KM2s. Iirc the MT/R has a stiffer sidewall, not quite as good in the rocks. They were a bit heavier than a similar sized BFG as well.

    Most TJ/LJ folks seemed to love the MT/R.
