265/65 R18 Tires

40% highway, 40% city, 20% ranch road driving, these tires are the best. They give 95% the performance of the premium Conti Terrain Contact AT but last, literally, twice as long. I'm at 40k miles and the tread depth says these are going to go 80k, which is crazy. I've never had a tire last that long, because I have a huge entitlement attitude when it comes to corners - I just don't think I should necessarily have to slow down for them, if I don't feel like it. I hit 70mph on a gravel road yesterday, four wheel slide into my driveway. Usually the inner edge of the side lugs on my tires gets rounded off in the first 20k miles, but these LTX MS2 are still looking pretty good. If they're $300/tire, but they last twice as long, then they're actually a $100 tire in my book because I don't have to rotate or balance them as often. So these tires are some of the cheapest you can run. Good job Michelin.

40% city, 40% highway, 20% ranch road driving. This tire gave exceptional grip on road in both wet and dry, and decent grip off road. MPG was average. I might be happy with this tire, but for the money, the Michelin LTX MS2 is the better choice because of how fast these tires wore out. Quick wear doesn't just mean you buy new tires sooner, but you have to rotate them more often, and that is annoying.

This is a very cost effective tire, they were half the cost of Blizzak DM-V2 in this size and have significantly exceeded my expectations considering the price. I have these on a 4th generation Tacoma TRD Off-Road mounted on 18x7.5'' TRD Sport wheels. Compared to my experience with Blizzak DM-V2's on a previous vehicle, these feel more confident in wet conditions. My ratings reflect that the Blizzak DM-V2 is better on snow, but these are still very competent and predictable. On ice the directional control is decent, but the acceleration and braking traction is weak with a slow recovery from excess slip. Overall these are very satisfactory for the low cost and have a good balance of snow and wet grip, but ice grip is a clear step below the premium studless winter tires.

Ride comfort is a moderate weakness due to excessive motion after impacts. Noise is decent, comparable to my OE BF Goodrich Trail Terrain tires. The steering has fairly vague feedback when loaded, but feels reasonably precise on center.

These are my second set of Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventures (w/ Dupont Kevlar), the first set I had on a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban LT (4x4/Autoride). My dad is also on his second set on his 2005 Toyota Tacoma SR5 (4x4) with 17in wheels from the Tundra/Sequoya. All 3 4x4 vehicles the tires were/are installed on are used primarily on-road in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado. Annual hunting trips and adventures call for some light duty off-roading on gravel, dirt, grass, and various agricultural fields. Overall, these tire have satisfied us by providing a low road noise and comfortable ride with excellent dry grip and response. On all off-road surfaces mentioned above the tires perform well in dry conditions providing decent grip and confidence. However, I did get stuck on a minimum maintenance road in Kansas after a downpour which turned the road into a greasy mud slip and slide. The mud quickly caked into the tread and reduced my traction significantly. I was pulled out by a tractor... Otherwise, the tires have been excellent for mainly dry climates on all surfaces/terrains. In the rain, on pavement, at a stop light, I do occasionally get a little rear tire slippage on painted lines (crosswalks and intersection marks). This issue can be quickly remedied with the 4-AUTO setting on the Silverado. I have had little issues in snow and ice, however, my driving style changes from spirited to cautious with maybe a touch of fun. I have been able to assist other drivers by pushing/pulling their vehicles out of ditches or deep(ish) snow covered roads with 4-AUTO or 4-HIGH utilized. I have been impressed with these tires. Previous tires to the GYs were the BFG KO2, for reference. Next tire I want to try are the BFG Trail-Terrain T/A for my 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Z71 (Extended Cab).

Maintenance: 265/65R18 116T, 40 psi (Summer) / 35 psi (Winter), installed Fall of 2021.
Rotated and Balance check every 6k-10k miles.
Treadwear checked 06/2025 at last rotation, 7/32in on all (4) tires, worn even across.
Approximately +40k miles on tires.

I have been using my AT52s on my Jeep JK for about 8000km and so far I really like them. I wanted an all-terrain tire which doesn't scare me on german highways... I drive this car on longer distances as well as off road, so I really needed something safe. Other ones I have driven severely lack good braking at higher speeds on asphalt, especially in the rain as well as handling difficulties. I drove these tires in all kinds of conditions by now and I am very happy with them. They handle precisely, which makes it fun for my 2 door. If its raining, muddy, snowy or bone dry you can expect the handling rather well. However, I noticed that in 2high you experience more understeer. That most likely has to do with my car itself too, but steering and ride height is pretty much stock. The fuel efficiency is alright too, but not great.

I drove them for 30,000 miles on my 23 Colorado Trailboss before I traded in the vehicle. The dry grip and everyday performance was excellent in a 40 mile each way daily commute. Limited snow experience, only a few days in a mild winter, with nothing deeper than 3 inches, but they performed well when called upon in the white stuff. Milage was important and there was no significant difference between the Nokians and stock Goodyears that spent the first 20k on the truck. After 30,000 miles the wear indicator still read 80%. Durability, traction, and milage were the very best aspects of this tire

These tires were on my 4x4 truck when I bought it. The previous owner provided the service records, so I know they've been on it for only 16k miles, I drove it for about 6k of those miles. They're 5 years old, produced in the 3rd quarter of 2018. The dry traction isn't great, there were a couple instances the tires broke loose when I wasn't even flooring it. I would be on a moderate hill and give some extra gas from a stop and they would start spinning enough that the truck would barely move, and this was in the middle of the summer with dry roads. The biggest problem is how it performs in the rain. These tires are absolutely the worst I've owned when the ground is saturated. I almost spun out a few times at low speeds on sharper turns, but luckily was able to recover from the loss of traction before anything bad happened. In the rain I don't trust them at all, they don't feel stable in turns and inspire zero confidence. I don't really know how it performs on the ice, but on the snow covered highways in New England, it actually performed well in 4x4 mode. I do drive slowly when it comes to snow or potentially icy conditions, I never try to push the envelope, but they seemed to have good traction with very minimal spinning and virtually no sliding, I was actually impressed. They got me through two winters. Another positive is they are very quiet. Overall, I definitely would not ever want these tires again. Perhaps they're better suited for off-road conditions.
