| Michelin LTX's
Anyone here running Michelin LTX M/S in 285/75R16? Any pics? My rig is currently set up with BFG A/T's in 275/70R16, I'm trying to decide between another set of BFG's or the Michelins. Kinda wondering if the Michelins will give too much of a  look vs. the BFG's. Dumb thing to worry about I guess, but if anybody has pics of the Michelins on their rig I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

| LTX
I'm running with them due to lots of highway miles in the past couple years. My off-roading is mostly sand/beach so I haven't missed the deeper tread too much. These are much quieter in my experience.
THey are probably a little small since my truck has been lifted a bit (OME) but doesn't bother me too much. In the garage right now so I'll get you a full side pic tomorrow.

| My dad swears by Michelin tires. They work very well, that's for sure, I had a set of near-bald LTX's on my truck when I first got it.

| From yesterday, my P275 LTXs on box stock 97. Darn things just won't wear out so that I can get some Icelander MTs. Free running board adjustment compliments of grandson, who was driving.
