Michelin LTX At/2 on 4th Gen

[falco]

Hey guys, first post here and YES, I did use the search option. : )

Does anyone have pics of 265/70/17 Michelin LTX A/T2s on a 4th gen? Or experience with rubbing at full turn?

I have a set on my wife 05' Path SE Off Road and love them (quiet), but every other vehicle I've had I ran BFG A/Ts.

Thanks!

I don't have the 17's but I do have the Michelin LTX AT2's in 265/ 70 16's and love them. No rubbing at all (stock size).

Are you set on AT2's? Not a great review on tirerack on these tires and I've had the original AT's and they performed marginal. Traction wasn't the greatest, but at the same time, that's why they wore so well (very hard compound).

I don't think they will rub, except at full lock and compression. That was the case with the Bridgestone REVO's I had (265/70/17).

Here's a pic of the AT/2 tire. I have about 5 months use with some being during Oregon's 1st and 2nd elk hunts with no significant problems. I have encountered very slight rubbing on the fronts when the tire is turned completely in. This sounded worse than it was as there was only a slight scuff on the plastic fender liner.
Note: I have 3/4" Cornfed spacers on the front that provide a 1 1/2" lift.

These Michelins ride and handle great even though they are Load rating E.
The only cons so far is that they really fling small gravel on some roads and are VERY HEAVY which reduced my mileage about 1 MPG
