I have a set of brand new Michelin LTX AT/2's that are 265/70/16 that I might be interested in swapping. However they are really nice tires and will run for about 60,000 miles so I couldn't put $350 with them. Let me know if you are interested and what is the minimum cash you would need.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

First question is is it all 5 tires?
If so I would swap all 5 with $250.
Considering mine 1 is new, 2 are great and 2 are ok, and the fact I am likely going to trade the rig...
Let me know.
George

Yes, 5 tires. I will have to check the spare, as I would assume it is a new BFG Rugged Trail, and probably not the same Michelin. If you can send me some pics of the tread, I would be very interested.

Thanks,

Will post more pics tomorrow.
Would like to speak after you see pics as there may be some good options for us.
My spare is a brand new never used bfg mtr mounted on the tlc rim - dealer replaced under warranty.
I am looking at a vehicle trade soon, so need to act quickly.
Thanks,
George

Current pics of passenger rear, passenger front and driver front.

None have any rash, one does have some "spare rim" overspray from the underbody protection.

and the rest...

driver's side rear and 2x pics of spare...still has print and nubbies...

How do these handle in the snow? Do they rub on your 80? I'm assuming you don't have a lift?
I also have a set of Micheline LTX MS2's. I was considering getting more aggressive tires at one point.

 

[teerexfzj80]

They are great in snow. period.
Under full articulation in all off road situations I have never had them rub. I have no lift, and heavy springs with stock height in rear only. I have heard the 305 or 310 do need the lift so as not to rub.

The rubber is harder and wider, which makes for a much firmer ride than the Michelins, which gives better road handling with a bit of sacrifice to softer road feel. Also you can play around with the pressure to firm up or take the edge off the bumps. Just be careful not to under or over inflate for long periods as it will lead to funky treadwear. I run them @ 31 to 36 but get center wear if too long at 36. I have also run them down to 8 psi in extreme off road conditions over rocks and in mud. I have seen desert and beach sand conditions get great added traction with short term low pressure to widen the contact patch / traction profile.
Good luck...shipping for us would likely be prohibitive.

Just curious if you ever ran these with your stock runningboards and end caps?
