Got 80K out of the Michelin's on my truck, smooth ride , good traction in winter, just make sure to do tire rotations every 10k.

Michelin ltx ms2, is a great tire

Seems like such a soft tire for a heavy 3/4 truck ,,
is that why you run on your 3/4 trucks ? I've seen lots of reviews for 1/2 trucks

Nothing beats a michelin for smoothness, wear, and quiet ride.

Running the ltx on my new F-350, not impressed with their winter traction. I normally run a true studded winter so I'm a bit biased, just haven't had a chance to put them on yet.

My new F250 Diesel came with the Michelins LTX's and I switched them out after 1000km's. They were smooth but I found them way to soft and squishy! I put on the Hankook Dynapro ATM's I have 31,000 km on them and they look brand new and have not wore at all, they have been rotated every 8,000 with my oil changes. I just put on a set of Duratracs for the winter and have been very impressed with these so far in the last 3 weeks!

The general grabber at2 has snowflake designation on most of their sizes.... Easy 80k out of a set as well

Run them in a 10ply on my f350, would not say they are a winter tire. I run 2 sets, studs in the winter and mich in the summer

I agree. lts at 2 are crap in winter, i have nokian hakka's lt2 awesome winter tire.

I've got good year silent armors on my 07 lmm 3/4. Ride nice, good wear and also the mountain snowflake. I'm impressed with the snow and Ice grip to!

Hankok dynapro at on my dually service truck, loaded to the nutz. Awesome wear and I don't believe in rotating, cause I'm cheap and lazy. Great tire takes the punishment, dunno how good for lighter trucks it pretty hard rubber to take what I do and wear even.

I ran 3 sets of duratracs good-year round, good traction but found they want to jump out of snow filled ruts or if you're stuck in a drift and trying to back out they won't track straight, they will pull to the side. So this year I put on cooper discoverer m&s as dedicated winter tires, good price and so far love them. I run a tall narrow tire with 50psi for traction and ride, lots of weight helps too
I'm keeping the half worn duratracs for mud season
