MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX OR OPEN COUNTRY A/T III EV

[Andrewbens]

I’m stuck in between these 2 tires, I tow a 8,000 pound boat and I also like to travel a lot. Does anyone have a comment on range and towing on either of these tires. I know they are 2 completely different tires but tell me about your experience. Also I believe these are the best current tires for the 20” wheels right now with the XL Load rated tires

I have always used the LTX on my F150s. Like them a lot. However I dont do a lot of off road. If I did, I would do the A/T. If I wanted a more aggressive look alone, I would do the A/T.

Look for reviews and tests on the Tire Rack website.

The Toyo could be a bit noisier as well

I just mounted a set of the Toyos last week. I personally am not a fan of the look, but I needed an AT tire. The only comments for this conversation are that I barely notice any noise increase from the Goodyears that came OEM, and efficiency seems essentially unchanged (not a lot of data yet, but it's clearly not dramatic).

good info that seems to be pretty consistent with people saying the range hasn’t really changed. Now I’m just waiting to seeing if anyone that has the LTX to say the range is the same or better. I have a feeling they are probably a little better on range than OEM but I’m waiting for that info.
