[QUOTE="Collin Lyon, post: 914355, member: 64646"] In reading the previous posts, concensus is the Michelin LTX M/S is the way to go. Went to several tire joints (dealer included), and was told that the LTX M/S was discontinued, replaced with LTX M/S2. Same places said this tire was not available in 18's. Just went to Michelin site and saw it was available in 18's, just not my exact size (P235/65R 18). I'm no size expert, so my question is: while keeping my current rims, can the following be put on them without rubbing? (1) P265/65R18 (2) LT275/70R18 (3) P265/60R18 (4) P265/70R18 (5) P275/65R18 Please educate me on what the P's, LT's, and the R's mean. If I remember right, basically means tire height and width. The lower the R #, the wider? The Michelin fact sheet on this is in my library. Also options include: (A) Goodyear Fortera Tripletred (I think everyone here hates Goodyear). (B) Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza (had good luck with Bridgestones, but in cars). (C) Firestone UNI-T Destination LE (??) Thoughts/opinions? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
