Anyone here tried or have experience with these?
The Michelin LTX A/S currently on my truck (factory) are all at 6/32 with 32,xxx miles on them. Not quite time to brain rack about replacements but I have been looking around a bit. The 265/60 R18 size the truck calls for leaves a lot to be desired in the tire market. Though the Michelins have been nice, I always tend to replace with something a bit more aggressive due to the terrain where I work (shell and mud), usually settling for a nice A/T. I have used Yokohama Geolandar A/T as well as the Nitto Terra Grapplar in the past.
I have no complaints with the Yokohamas but they wouldnt be my first choice...the Nittos would. They are not available in my size, and increasing the size isnt possible without a dealer programming to straighten out the shift points so I am staying with the same size. The sizes most available is the Cooper Discoverer A/T3 or ATP, and Yokohama. I ran across the Crossteks at Tire Kingdom (NTP), and like the looks of them for a hybrid A/T street tire, and I have seen them on a truck like my F150 and they look nice. Just trying to put feelers out for them. Otherwise I will probably end up with the Discoverers.
