Purchased the Michelin LTX M/S 2 in 235/75/R15 last night through my local Discount Tire.
First impression of this set of tires is excellent, even though I've only put 10 miles on them. However, they far out-perform the incredibly old, weather checked, low/unevenly worn tread of the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A. The ride is substantially quieter, although, new BFG versus new Michelin, I would be sacrificing off road grip and load capacity. But given I won't be taking the Dakota off road, let alone towing anything substantial with it, the Michelin tires will be more than necessary for the truck's needs in the future.
These tires will most likely be the last that I will purchase for the Dodge with its 70,000 mile treadwear. Whether or not the tires will last 70,000 miles, they will far outlast the pickup overall.
Price: $587.53 less $100 Presidents' Day rebate through Discount Tire. Total $487.53.
