The current tires on my Excursion are Michelin LTX M/S 2. My truck weights around 8000 pounds. I up-sized with this tire from the stock 265 to 285 size, load range E of course. I don't even run the max air pressure because I don't tow anything heavy. No wallow from over flexing sidewalls. Checking the reviews on Tire Rack you'll find they work great on snow and ice, as good or better than most. These tires are very round and took very little weight to balance. I've rotated them a couple times.
They have around 80,000 miles on them, with another 5000 to 10,000 to go. For my use, there is no better tire.
