Michelins or Dunlops (1 Viewer)

[cpcc]

The time is coming to replace my tires. I wanted to go with the same size as my stock 18 inchers. What do you guys recommend? Michelin Pilot LTX, Dunlop Grandtrek, or Bridgestone Duelers?

Toyo Open Country H/T - stock size

Sorry, I know its not on your list of choices but thought I would ring in. Very pleased with these tires especially on the highway for my 04 LX. Flawless performance in the snow and much less $ then the stock LTX. Using stock 275 60 18

michelins....................grandtreks suck.


As a side note, the Porsche guys get two-three different OEM tires. Anyone who has the dunlops usually request the dealership swap to the michelins prior to delivery.

Stay away from the Dunlops!

Stay away from the Dunlops!

That has been my experience, in the distant past, with Dunlops: There are better tires out there.

My first tires were the Dueler Revos, and would recommend them to anyone that share the same driving that I do. If the majority of your travels consist of on road than off, I'd go with the Revos.

had some Grandtreks on the 100 originally, slashed one side wall on a minor incident. Doesn't seem too strong... Ratings pretty low IIRC.

Have a look at the Tirerack.com surveys if you haven't already.

For what it's worth: I've been consistently riding Michelins for the 15 years I've been driving and they're worth every penny. I heard very dire stories about Firestones and Dunlop, for that matter. You know that Goodrich tires are Michelin, right?
