In an application where an LTX M/S2 is a consideration, I prefer the Toyo Open Country H/T. It's just as quiet as the LTX M/S2, lasts just as long, is great in rain, does well in snow. But in the same size and load range as an LTX series Michelin, the Toyo H/T rides smoother, and seems to hold balance better. It can usually be bought for significantly less the the Michelin's, too.
From what I see through my vendors, the Toyo Open Country HT isn't available in that size. The QC or QT (whichever it is) however, is.
FWIW, the Toyo Open Coutry H/T in P245/60R18 is listed on Toyo's website. Product Code # 362760
If a vendor sells some models from a given tire manufacturer, they can usually get any model and size of tire from that manufacturer. It's something to consider, anyway.
