So do you tow or carry that additional payload, because you indicated they are not abused? If you need coil overs etc. for additional payload, well, that is a different story.
But, what they can do that Michelin Defender LTX cannot do? What load do you need?
Clearly, that is either a manufacturing issue or you damaged a tire somewhere not knowing.
I tow within the limitations of the payload and GVWR. $4k in suspension parts significantly improves the overall performance of the truck. The KO2s were also an improvement over the OEM Duratracs.
I’m going to try a new LT tire next time, however as I said these are the lightest in this size. I don’t want SL or 55 lb LT tires.
The tire had nothing external to indicate any cause for the crack. No scuff, mark or anything. That is why it was warrantied by AT.
I guess they must work in wet Sierra snow but they are horrid in dry powder. I really wanted to like them but between poor snow performance and jack of all trades, master of none performance in all other aspects, I can't justify trying them again. I put 20,000 or so miles on my 2000 Blazer and put close to 30,000 miles on a 2004 Chevy 2500HD truck with them, I just don't get the love for what I found out to be an average tire.
Yes wet sierra snow is what we have. I put the selector in AWD and it tracks straight and true. There is a compromise in freeway manners vs. off road performance. I’d rather the bias be towards pavement for my uses.
