    I found a set of dealer take offs for $400 out the door

    P255/70R18 Michelin LTX M/S2

    Does anybody run these on their Tundra or Sequoia and have inputs?

    My “new to me” 07 CrewMAX has bald fronts and is currently wearing 275/65/18 Hankook Dynapro AT

    It has been my previous experience that All Terrain Tires wear faster. I don’t mud bog,just daily drive and tow occasionally.

    My truck had those when new. I felt they were too squishy feeling. E rated tires ride like hell but they at least feel more responsive and corner great

    I have that tire on my '07 and they are just fine and that's a fair price... you may want to air them up a bit when towing. .

    I've had Dyna Pro ATMs that lasted 70k, excellent tire. I've had wrangler duratracs, terrible noise starting at 35mph, never again.

    Now I have Michelin LTX AT2s, superb tire for highway and off-road. On another Toyota I've got LTXs, smoother than AT2s, better mpgs and last even longer (smoother & narrower tread design). You cannot go wrong with Michelins, no matter what.

    Luck and enjoy those Toyotas. : ^ )))

    Also I had another thought

    I could buy 2 new takeoff Hankook to match the rear tires which have excellent tread remaining

    But that’s 3/4 the price of a complete new set of Michelin’s

    I ran LTX MS on a lifted Trooper SUV. They were nice tires. Very quiet, rode and track well. Did surprisingly well offroad. Good in the snow.

    The most important thing on your vehicle ? Tires ! I take off the stock Bridgestone garbage tires, after about 40,000. and put Michelin LTX Mud & snow on all my Toyota's. My 2016 Sequoia Limited got a set, at the end of the summer, no more hydroplaning in the rain,
    4-wheels thru mud and snow, huntin, with no problem. and it rides so much smoother and quieter. Been using nothing but Michelins for the last 15 plus years, Best tire money can buy, in my opinion. You cant go wrong.

    They are nice. They don't look aggressive but can handle some off road and do snow and wet well. And michelins do ride well. Good all around but not for those that want an aggressive appearance to the tire.

    I'm looking for tires too and not pleased with the search. Either s tires or load range E. I had so many other choices with other trucks.
