Reasonable Pricing on Michelin LTX MS2

[Griff79]

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to get some reference info. I just bought 4 Michelin LTX MS2 for $191 per tire at Discount Tire. I had some Hankooks on that I liked but they wore out and thought I would try the Michelins this time. They are 265/70/17 on a Envoy XUV.

DT is having a sale so I recieved a $100 rebate and then I paid with their tire card, additional $60 rebate with no interest for 9 months and I am going to get a little back on the Hankooks that wore out prematurely.

Total cost $905.45 installed.

I needed tires and don't really have time to scour the earth for the deal of the century, just wanted to know if this was reasonable for this product.

I will post my thought on the tire after I ride on them for awhile.

Thanks,
Griff

I need to pull the takeoff Michelins from my truck out of the garage storage and put them, on CL...

If they're been out of the sun for 10 years, are they still good?

Check for cracking-I believe they do dry out.

No, Not good by most standards. The last four digits of the DOT number is the week and year of manufacture. I thought I read somewhere that store were going to stop working on or repairing a tire if it is past a certain age. That said, I'd use them if they were not cracked or weathered. Fact is there are some obsolete sizes of tires that are only made every few years. That means the tire may be 5 years old before it is even installed.

I went with the same tire to replace the previous generation LTX MS that I finally wore out on my Tahoe. I shopped around and went with Discount. I may have been able to manage a few bucks off here or there, but I get great service at my local store.

My previous set were raised white letter and I wanted blackwall. The blackwall price was higher. I went with the cheaper tire and they asked if I wanted them mounted with the white letters on the inside or outside...so I got blackwalls anyway.

That price is reasonable. You're really going to love those tires! I really noticed the improved snow performance, which is amazing since the previous generation was so good.

G, I hope so, I'm curious how they will perform, they always get good reviews

2XS, I didn't think of Cosco

costco is your best deal.

I bought a set of these a while back, and had looked at both Discount and Costco. Costco didn't have the exact match, but they have another tire that is almost identical (apparently they have to re-brand some of the most popular tires to avoid competition, but they were basically the same tire). Honestly, I don't remember which I went with because they were both a good deal.

You can always check tirerack.com for prices (looks like approx $184 per tire delivered), but keep in mind they usually don't include install and balancing, etc. like a local shop would.

I think that price sounds very reasonable.

Yeah I checked tire rack when I put my set on this fall and by the time your figure shipping and mount and balance and disposal the local shop/ discount tire was the same or a little better.

I pick up my tires from tirerack.com at their Denver warehouse (no shipping). Last time was a set of trailer tires.
