Bit the bullet and got the Michelins

[ERIK2173]

I had some vibration in my tires I could not get rid of no matter what I did. It started when I made the mistake of putting some fix-a-flat in my tire.
But, they were General Grabbers, which were never any good in the snow or rain and were too loud for my liking.
So before a road trip I decided I'd have a new set of Michelin LTX's put on, and I was very happy I did.
The vibration is completely gone, the road noise is all but gone and best of all it softened the ride alot.
I was complaining abou how harsh the ride was after switching to Gabriel shocks, but this has pretty much solved that problem for me. I am amazed at how much difference a set of tires can make.
Plus with the tires finally inflated to the correct pressure my gas milage went up quite a bit. I never got above 17mpg city or highway. On my trip I got between 18.5 and 20mpg.
They were a little high priced but the extra money was defintely worth it.

Too bad they don't make bigger tires

I had 33x12.5 general grabbers on my truck for a while and they where some of those most unbalanced tires i've ever seen.

You have to wonder about tires named "General Grabbers"

those french guys make a damn good tire. price is a little high, but for a stock size replacement they last forever and have a very high build quality.

Which LTXs did you get? M/S? I agree that Michelin are excellent tires, but they do charge you for them.

Yeah I got the M/S's The only off-roading I end up doing is on dirt or rock roads when I'm camping.
