Tire Choice and Reviews
My ride (Vantasi- E350, EB) is getting a WeldTec Stage 2 kit in two weeks and along with that new wheels and tires. Going with Eagle Racing rims 16x8, 3.6" BS, -20mm Offset.
Right now it sits on Michelin LTX M/S 2 265/75/16s load range E. These tires are great in respect to ride quality (quiet, run true) and longevity. They have approximately 50K on them with 30% or more tread left. The only complaint would be that they pick up every little rock on a gravel road and fling it against the body.
I plan on going with a more aggressive but not full off-road tire in a 285/75/16 with load range E. The majority of driving is on tarmac but I want a good compromise for gravel, snow, and rocky terrain. I see a lot of BFG AT TA KO2s out there but they seem to get less than stellar reviews on longevity. The Good Years I had in the past where always a pain to balance which makes me think poor quality control.
What tires are you running and are you getting 50k+ miles out of them with proper rotation?
Thanks!
