Michelin's LTX M/S 2's

They look good Nick. What psi are you putting in those? They just seem a little low in the pic.

I have not checked yet. I want to say 35psi. I guess I need to see what they put in them. It rides great.

Every time I get new tires, the shop puts 80 in the rear, and 50 in the front. I know that's what GM says to do, but damn. I usually run 60psi all the way around.

Shops around here will give them whatever amount it says on the door... Should be 35 PSI.

I've got 42 PSI in mine... Which would explain why they sucked on ice

35PSI didn't look too soft with mine, but I'm also running the 10 ply on a 1/2 ton...

I wish I had bought the MS instead of the AT. I bought the AT because I had planned to run them year-round up here. Had I known the ATs were not going to work out in the snow and ice (I ended up getting Firestone Ice Tires) I would have got the MS. They rock!

I have been reading that none of the new second generation Michelins (AT2s MS2s) last as long as the previous generation, so I want you to keep us posted, Nick!. I will do the same, I have about 6K on mine.

The MS is the best looking highway light truck tire on the market IMO. I had the Firestone 10 ply equivalent on my previous HD, which was a close 2nd. I got over 60K out of those with about 20% of the life hauling heavy loads.

The MS2's do not have the mountain/snowflake stamp for "severe" winter stuff...

They seemed to do alright by me on the fronts... Even at 42lbs they still gripped pretty dang good on the ice, so I call that a pass


I've got about 3k on mine... And they look exactly like they did after I did a burnout...

I ran the first gen MS tires through 2 winters, and they did great. These AT2s just sucked when trying to stop. I could not believe it. In a normal area with light winter, they would be fine. The Firestone ice tires are amazing

I really think my MS2's would have done a LOT better if I'd aired them down to 35PSI... From the 42PSI they're at right now...

My BFG A/T's were awesome on ice once I got them down to 32psi... Compared to the 45 I ran them at
