...... In the case of the Michelin LTX AT/2s the OE tires used by Ford for the past 12 years not only were labeled LTX AT/2s they had the identical tread pattern and weight carrying specs as Michelin LTX AT/2s sold aftermarket. In this particular case do you actually think there is something different between a Michelin AT/2 sold aftermarket and a Michelin AT/2 OE tire? I’m finding this hard to believe.

The problem here is that it only looks like a duck.

Having spent 5 years calling on Ford Light Truck, I can tell you with confidence that the engineers are always going to at least tweak the tires applied to their vehicles. And that includes the Michelin LTX AT/2. I can also guarantee that they didn't allow the tire to remain the same over 12 years! I've seen them force changes after 2 years!

I typically get ~40k miles on my tires, but my current set of Nitto Ridge Grappler tires LT285/65R20 have 36k miles and look like they could make it to ~50k miles.

The Ram 2500 I picked up recently has 9,800 miles with Firestone Transforce AT tires and they look like they may make it to ~20k miles.


I REALLY like my NITTO RidgeGrapplers on my 01 Sport. My mileage is similar to yours.
