I'll sell someone my almost new latitudes so I can get a set of duratracs. I love the latitudes on road but I go offroading alot.

I gotta admit, the Hankook Dynapro RF10's have out performed more than expected. Good all around tire. Here in CO, having a good all season is a must.

Costco Michellin X-Radials LT2
I found this to be the best tire for comfort and on road noise + efficiency, plus they stop 9 feet shorter than other tires. (for what that's worth)
Costco Michellin X-Radials LT2 265/65 R17 (70K mile tire) $925 Installed here in Chicago.
While there grab a pair of the Goodyear wiperblades! Best thing since sliced bread.

2003 2wd v8 AT. Just registered today to see if anyone has had a problem/solution with front tires "wandering" in the freeway rain grooves (even passengers notice it). Original tires wandered slightly when new. Replacement Cross terrains did not. After 80,000 miles on the CTs, replaced them with LTX M/S2s which wander worse than ever. Has been aligned several times. Thanks.

The BEST tires I've owned I'm driving on right now...
Cooper Discover-CTS...Very quiet...EXCELLENT in wet and dry pavement...and real real good in snow...I don't do much off roading..but when I did..they performed very very well.
$620 installed here in NH.

Michelin makes an awesome all around street and highway tire.

I have to say my set of Michelin LTX M/S2s have been fantastic. I would highly recommend them to anyone who drive mostly on pavement. Great tire. The only downside is they are on the high end price-wise.

I have to agree. I have the Alenzas on my 4Runner right now. Installed them right before a trip from Louisiana to Colorado and they were extremely quiet and handled well everywhere I went. Definitely give them some consideration

I just put a set of Bridgestone Revo 2's on and I'm happy with them. They're quiet and they track well, but they did impact my gas mileage a little bit.

I have Michelin latitudes for street driving and they are the best. Terrible in mud but great, great, great in dry, wet and snow. Quiet as a mouse even at 80mph. Balance out with very little weight. Best pavement tires by far. Very not cheap though, 240-250each.

I’m going to have my Michelin Cross Terrains replaced with LTX M/S2s tomorrow.
I was wondering about the MPG of a supposedly softer tire…anyone notice a mileage increase or decease going to the M/S2? The Cross Terrains have UTQG of 420 vs. the M/S2 at 720, why the difference in a 65-70k tire? Seems like the M/S2 would be a “harder” compound tire.

Michelin Cross Terrains - exceptional tires!! Handle well, wear well, quiet, nothing not to like about them.
And as someone else suggested, get them at Costco, with the coupons, which come along about every 90 days or so, I think.

While I'm very happy overall with my Revo 2's, I don't think they're the best as far as hydroplaning resistance. I had Destination AT's on my Tacoma, and thought those did better with resisting hydroplaning. Plus, they're about $200-$250 cheaper for a set of 4. Just something to consider.
