    How does everyone like the newer stock Michelin tires. Mine have been great on my 2012 64000 miles still good. I've read some bad reviews on the newer ones.

    Same here. 12K miles and no issues in the snow either. But they'll be gone at the end of this month.

    The Michelin AT2 tires are pretty good. I have had them on a couple trucks and my current one. No complaints from me.

    I really like my stock Michelins. I think they are 7 ply. Cant see getting rid of perfectly good tires just to upgrade. Rather pay the truck off first.

    Had a buddy come over and his dodge ram he bought last year he just got new tires. He said the stock tires that came with his ram were only 3 ply and he got a lot of flats and finally said f it and got some toyos.

    Same! I wanna lift the truck but also don't want to replace tires that are already good with different ones before they wear out.

    I liked the Michelin's ... they just had to go once I leveled out my Tundra. Still have them in the garage and will use them again if I travel on a 1,000 mile round trip as I got better mileage on them.

    Got a new set of michelin AT2. When these wear out I plan on going bigger and higher. Darn things will last to long I'm sure.
