Just replaced the second set of Michelins at 108k on my 15 RAM DRW. First set installed at 200 miles and those MS2's went 40k. Received $650 towards any tire any brand because they were toast well before the 60k warranty. So I gave the "new and improved" MS2's a shot and they made it 68k with plenty of tread left.
They don't make the MS2's any longer so the top of the line replacement is the AT2's and I went with those at an out the door price of $1,850 at Discount Tire in NW WA. To compare I got a quote from Costco same day same tire at $2,030 out the door. I could have made it to SoCal easily and purchased the tires down there but I get good pricing locally with the Manager.
So far the tires feel solid with no squirm and nice and smooth. Time will tell if I will get the mileage of the last MS2's.

Pretty confident these new AT2 tires won't last as long as your previous MS2 tires.

For my style of driving, I like the new ones. Unless the new ones have a harder rubber compound, looking at 10% less miles IMHO.
I do like the look.

If I had a choice I would have stayed with what I had but time will tell. If I don't get 60k they will be giving me some $$$.

My F350's come with A/T2s. About 25k miles on my current set and they are about ready for replacement. The nice thing is the replacements come with a new truck attached.

YIKES, that does not sound good. New truck with new tires is certainly a way to go.

Friend had them on his Superduty 350 , they went less than 30K. I considered them at one time , but went with Toyo. Was not impressed with Toyo .

My truck came equipped with these tires from the factory and I want to say they were about a ~35k mile tire for me. I was really disappointed in them as I have a high regard for Michelin tires.

Michelin changed the compound on the new and improved MS2. I recently had some installed on my truck. They rode really nice when not towing. Hooked up to my TT and the truck felt like it was on ice. They replaced the POS Firestones on my Ram 3500. While those tires didn't last very long they were much better at controlling the truck when towing.
Went back to Discount tire and told them what happened. I put 2000 miles on them. They gave me a 100% refund and I got some Cooper AT3's. Much better than the MS2. Stiffer ride but my truck goes 50/50 towing and DD so I'll live with it.

I didn't word that very well ... my A/T2s have about 25k miles and I expect to be picking up my new truck in a couple of weeks, so, they are about to be replaced, but, they are not yet worn out. I think I put about 45k miles on one of my F350's before selling it with the original worn out A/T2s.
