I drive mainly highway and my truck weights 8000 pounds. I just put on my second set of Michelin LTX M/S2's. While Michelin has updated this tire to the Michelin LTX M/S Defender, I was able to find the older model at Walmart. Reason I didn't want the newer model is because I went 105,000 miles on my last set of LTX M/S2 tires and didn't feel like experimenting. They have never once lost traction in the rain, important to me considering the weight of my truck. They're the smoothest, quietest tires I've ever used and they're not all that bad in the snow, especially if you have 4 wheel drive. A dedicated off road tire they're not, but for me they're the best overall compromise for a vehicle that runs mostly on the highway.
