For sure…
I always try to save extreme brand loyalty for things that actually matter….not everyone does…
But I also respond with the idea that maybe the OP isn’t the only person that will ever read, or benefit from responses or advice given.

Mine are at 67k and still LEGAL. Don't know of anyone getting that mileage towing 1/2 the miles with a 6k pin.
I do adjust the rears to 30psi when running BobTail. I keep the fronts at 80psi ALWAYS.

Also pretty clear the OP is acting like a tool. Like the guy who wants to throw his truck or camper out because it needs an add a leaf and maybe some decent tires on the truck…in that other thread here.
The last sentence in his first statement says it all… “may just need to get new rims as well…”
That right there is a surefire clue that the person who is complaining is largely doing it to hear themselves complain.

Wish I had known (or researched) these POS tires before I signed on the dotted line or I would have insisted on Michelin Defenders I have always used in the past before I left the dealership. My bad...
I have ZERO trust/faith in these NEXEN tires. Therefore, I am going to remove/replace these crappy tires this week. My problem is finding a Michelin Defender LTX M/S or Michelin LTX M/S2 in my OEM size tires (LT235/80R17E). Only Michelin tires I can find in my size are the LTX A/T2, Energy Saver, and Agillis???, none of which I really want to pay $2K for. I NEVER had so much as a flat tire in the the 20+ years I rode on Michelin Defender LT tires hauling RVs around the USA!
Is there another SIZE TIRE that will fit on my 17" wheels so I can try and find a Michelin Defender LTX or LTX M/S set of tires? If not, looks like I will be buying new wheels also...
Thanks in advance.

I have these on my SRW Ram truck. Just got an email from Goodyear that they are running their Memorial Day sale. Use a Goodyear credit card for an additional rebate. I really like my tires.

Had Manager at a NW WA Discount Tire give me a price out the door $2,004.24 for the Michelin LTX AT2's six total for my RAM DRW.
Costco was $2,097.44 I think that was without tax.

No alignment changes...still set from factory.
I have seen your post about that...but I never had an issue with wear on the front tires. I do rotate the front tires only side to side every 10,000 miles. All good so far ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
