I recently got a pair of Michelin LTX AT2 on my 05 Hundy to replace the balding OEM Dueler HTs. At first I was a little disappointed with their on road handling; but I remember that I had went from P275/60/18 Load D rated tires to LT275/65/18 E rated tires. I wanted to go a little larger; but my local costco refused to mount them. I tried asking for the waiver and they wouldn't budge. These are a 32" tire; so it was a compromise that I was ok with as I only do really light wheeling.
After some googling mud and other places, I used load tables to calculate more appropriate inflation pressures to accommodate the tires and went with about 10 psi higher than what the door jams say. I went from 29/32 (front/rear) to 39/42; which made them feel much better. They are right now a little louder than the OEM tires; but I like the firmer ride they provide.
I also had a chance to do some light wheeling and beach camping at Freeman Park in Carolina Beach, NC. The sand was really loose at the entrance to the park and a Wrangler and an older ford pick up both got stuck in front of us just as we passed the gate keeper. I didn't even air down and was able to get through at around 10 to 15 mph in 4WD low without the central diff being locked. (I don't have front or rear lockers). The Hundy was definitely weighed down with all my camping gear, 3 people, and 2 dogs but made it ok. Before I left on Sunday, I did air down but was worried if I went in the teens, the tire might roll off lol. So I was pretty conservative and went 21 and 24. This seem to help quite a bit and the Hundy did well floating on the sand. I tried to drive on fresh sand and not the deep tracks other folks were going and getting stuck on. Saw a bunch of folks get stuck and need getting winched out. Pretty entertaining actually.
So overall, I'm super happy with the Michelin LTX AT2s so far. Looking forward to some wet weather / snow mtn snow! I live in NC; but drive home a couple of times of year to OH through WVA and wanted really sure footed tires for the potential inclement weather. During a recent trip my balding Duelers weren't gripping nearly as well in the rain.
LT275/75/R18 fills out the wheel well nicely.
