Those are GMT400 wheels, no? :dunno:


Correct.


I put the Michelin's on yesterday to take a small highway trip, and even though they're 10 ply, and had 40 PSI in them... They still rode smoother than the factory tires did :thumbs:

No noticable hit in fuel mileage so far.

Pics when I can unplug stuff from my computer without a BSOD...

A pair of 10 ply M/Ss replacing a pair of P-type Wranglers likely won't yield that mileage gain you are looking for, Dennis :D2

Just sayin'

I wasn't looking for a gain, I just didn't want a big loss :lol:

FYI, there was no change :thumbs:
...in highway mileage... City mileage remains to be seen :lol:

The 10 ply's are "low rolling resistance" according to Michelin.

Yeah, they are pretty sweet. I picked up 1 mpg in town with the AT2s

Good to hear!

The Firestone Destination M/T's were doing close to the same as the factory tires... Maybe a touch worse :lol:

I'm definitely liking these MS2s though... I hope winter performance is just as good!

We get more ice than deep snow here, so I didn't get something with an aggressive tread... However, if we DO get deep snow... I have the MT's I can use :lol:

Yep, same for me in Anchorage. I could have gone with either, since we just have smooth solid ice on the street for most of the winter.
