It’s almost time for new tires and I’m curious what the folks here recommend. I’m leaning toward Michelins, but which ones? Definitely want road tires only.

I’ve got these on my 2020 Expy Plat (Non Max) and they’re way better than the original tires. They’re much quieter and have great traction. I’ve put around 2500 miles on them so far.
The actual tire model is MICHELIN® DEFENDER LTX M/S 2 285/45 R22

Did you notice any difference in MPG? I think that’s the same tire I had on my last truck and loved them.

I have some other issues that make it hard for me to track any exact MPG differences. Can’t confirm either way.
I’ve got a 2015 model and I’m really happy with the Hankook 20s.
Not sure what tires are currently on my 22 Max Limited Stealth, but I’ve always been a fan of BF Goodrich. Given where we live, I’ll probably go with the Trail Terrains next time I need a replacement.
Depends on what you need them for. I used Firestone Destination A/Ts on my 2019SE with 22” wheels. They’re great for snow and rain.
Have you been using stock tires? Is it a 4x4? Anything else will likely be an upgrade! Nothing beats having new tires.
@Lane
Yes, just the stock tires that came with it.

Interesting. I’ve never had good experiences with Duratracs. I have them on my Silverado ZR2 1500, and they’re awful. I can’t wait to get rid of them. I’m probably going with BFGs. Full disclosure: I haven’t driven my ZR2 in snow since I bought it in TX, but we moved to PA in May, so I may change my mind when winter comes.
@Toryn
Actually, Goodyear Wrangler Territory M/T is what’s on my ZR2. I misspoke earlier.

Are you planning on driving through snow this winter?
We don’t get a lot of snow here in NJ, so a regular all-season tire usually does the job just fine.
