- 2004 Mountaineer 4.6L
I am planning on replacing the tires on our new to us 2004 Mountaineer Limited 2WD 4.6L, 3.73 axle and towing package. It has 245/65/17 tires. Mostly the wife and I will use the vehicle on the road and it will probably never see off road. Light towing perhaps.
Over the years, I have used several sets of Michelin LTX/MS tires on our other Explorers with outstanding results and was wondering what has been the experience of others with this 3rd generation Explorer and the Michelin LTX/MS? I have used the same tire in "E" rating on our 2002 Diesel truck with sucess also.
Discount Tire lists three other Michelin tires for this model of Explorer and since I have been out of the loop for a while, I am wondering how these tires are holding up compared to the LTX/MS? Is one of them head and shoulders better in terms of comfort and quiet ride?
Thanks in advance for the help.
