If fuel mileage is important to you, get rid of the leveling kit. Having rake will improve your gas mileage. The more air that goes under your truck, the worse your gas mileage will be. Great tires, btw!

They just released the LTX- M/S 2. It has a little more aggressive looking tread but is just as quiet and gives you more of the A/T look. Kinda expensive, but so far worth it. My gas mileage has improved 3 mpg around town over the Goodyear Wrangler duratrac. Compare the looks and performance on line. Both warrantied for 70,000 miles.

My dad has used only these tires on his ‘97 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. They are smooth, quiet and he routinely gets 60,000 miles out of them. He is on his third set.

Great video and review. When I purchased my first Truck, a 2021 Trd Pro Tundra, (used) it came with the ridge grapplers. It looked awesome however the road noise and wet weather traction was a concern. For the same reasons, fuel, comfort and type of driving I swapped to the Michelin LTX MS tires. Every review has been incredible and I would add to that consensus. They are not sexy to look at but man they check all the boxes. Very happy with these tires.

I currently run Michelin ltx at2 and I’m going to tell you I don’t think I will run other tires!! It’s just a different breed of tire when it comes to wear , compound, ride comfort on hwy, chip resistant, in the rain in the snow, in the gravel there just awesome tires I can’t complain they balance perfectly, they wear so evenly I can’t tell front from backs and it’s a dually.. I’m currently running factory LT 245 75 17 50k miles on them and still got 70% life on them I rotate every oil change 10k miles it’s a diesel… I’ll probably upgrade to a Lt 265 70 17 when time comes..

This video is spot on. I don't think the defenders can be beat for these full size trucks. Sure they don't have quite the aggressive look you'd like but their performance is unmached.

Yeah I’ve got nothing but good things to say. I think on a 9 wide wheel they’d look a lot beefier but I love my stock wheels

These are the best & longest lasting tires I’ve ever used. I have them on my Armada and my highway cruising and towing 2WD truck that I don’t take off much but do a good job off. I don’t use them on my off road 4wd drive but that is understandable.

I have these tires on a Frontier 265 60 18. I put them on at 11,000 miles I now have 160,000. I don't how they have lasted this long all I can say is they are great tires. Most of my driving is on the highway and they are great in the rain. I'm buying another set soon and the ones now don't look like drag slicks either.

Beautiful truck. Used to have a set of Cooper MT tires on my Ram, looked cool. OMG after a year I took them off, couldn't hear myself think and they only got worse with time. Love your choice of tires...and I am a grandpa. Might have to try these next. Running Cooper xlt at3 now and pretty happy, very quiet.

21.5k miles on these tires in this video??? That's impressive. I am at that same mileage on my Transforce AT's that came on our (also black) Laramie 22' 2500 Hemi, and you can almost see the top of Abe Lincoln's head. Haha. Thank you for sharing this review! Definitely top choice tire after seeing this review.

Awesome truck! You're absolutely right about the snow performance. I live in michigan and I rarely have to use 4wd. They're not cheap but one of the best tires out there. Really quiet on highway.

Thanks for posting this. Like you said not a lot of reviews on these. I'm thrown between these bfg ta ko2, and Firestone destination xt. I know they are all different types pretty much but, those are my options at Costco. I'm going to put them on my jeep jku with 4"lift running 35x12.5/20s. I have toyo mts and I hate them. Too rough and noisy in the highway with terrible mpg (I get 13-14). Hoping these will improve the mpg, comfort and noise. Not so much on the looks and off road perf though...

No experience with the m/s, but i had michelin ltx a/t on a 2008 f250 4x4. I'd need 4wd to get off wet grass. I thought the a/t stood for "all terrain", it was actually "Asphalt terrain". :)

Did you have to have your speedometer updated to address the larger size? I have a 2019 Ram 2500. Also this tire is wider than the factory tires. Did you have any issues with them rubbing against the fender or tire well?

I wonder about traction on mud or wet grass...stock transforce at cannot move my 2016 3500 on wet grass. These also are about 200 more a tire here in Canada so any fuel savings is gone on initial cost
