Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 

These have been the best tires I have ever owned. No hydroplane to speak of. No unintentional or surprise loss of traction. If I did lose traction it was because I was pushing to hard. Never had a real problem in mud, dirt, snow. As long as you are in the proper gear or setup you won't have a problem. And 65 to 70 in 2 inches of snow is awesome although I don't recommend it (Do to others on the road).

These came on my new 2015 GMC Sierra and they just crossed 60k along with the truck. First impressions on the new Tires when it was all new was that it rode and was quiet as a Cadillac. 60k Later and it still does. Im not to the wear lines yet but being from upstate central New York I want to replace them before the snow fly's again in a couple months. I do mixed driving Because I live in upstate central new york. Even highway driving can get interesting here in the winter. On the highway and in towing I have had ZERO issues with these tires getting grip or being comfortable on good dry roads and highways EVER. Only in the last couple thousand miles had I noticed a slip or two on wet roads with 60,000 miles on them. I needed to get to the hospital for my ankle in the middle of a blizzard last winter when we got 4 ft inside of 12 hours. It was insane! But I got there AND Back about 40 miles round trip in the worst of whiteout conditions with snow falling at a rate of 6-8 inches an hour. It was straight up nuts. Cars, Trucks Tractor trailers everywhere were all in ditches off the road and stuck in the middle of the road because the snow was so deep they were bottoming out and I crawled through. Last spring we had some major storms come through with severe flash flooding that I had to get through to get a Horse Trailer and re-locate some horses. I against my better judgement drove it through plenty of flooding roadways and in two cases freaking raging rapids going across the road. I got there and with these tires with somewhere between 45-50 thousand miles on them. I read a lot of poor reviews on these tires and I am perplexed at how they can be so all over the place. I can only assume that because you have a vehicle that ----s in bad weather doesn't mean the tires do. I have not one bad thing to say about them as they have performed better than any other tire I have ever had on anything. I would be an idiot to replace them with something else after this.

The AT/S Wrangler was the standard tire on the 2001 Z71. Just bought my third set at 225,000 miles. Would have waited a few months more but one was taken out by a 5/8 inch thick bolt on I-95. The set that came with the vehicle lasted 85,000 miles. The second set only lasted 60,000 miles, this latest set would have gone further with usable tread at 80,000, but with one destroyed it was time for a new set. This past winter with over 70,000 miles and about 6/32 of wear left had no problems making my way around after 2+ feet of snow fell during our snowmaggedon in Maryland. Would not have ventured out but to rescue my daughter that was stuck in the storm. Lots of other vehicles 4 wheel drive and otherwise did not fare as well. I also do a bit of off roading and have buried the Z71 to the frame in frozen slush, mud and muck without a problem. Still cleaning out chunks of dried and hardened mud from various frame members from last winter's hunt. Great in snow, great off road in mud and muck and driving on the beach (off road permit required). On the highway the tire is a beast, very quiet, a pleasure to drive through rain storms, ice storms, snow storms. Three years ago drove almost 800 miles through and with an ice storm tracking east coming back from a hunt. The ice on the front of the Z71 was almost two inches thick by the time we arrived back home Dry weather handling is great, the Z71 handles like a sports car taking corners. (I know of what I speak, my other vehicle is a BMW Z3) I drive as fast as is allowed and this tire handles highway speeds nicely. I am buying a new truck and the Z71 with the new AT/S tires will be driven by my son. I will be putting a set of AT/S tires on the new truck and selling the new tires that come as standard. That's how much I like these tires. For your truck or large SUV this tire will handle all situations, I mean all situations, from hi speed highway to deep off road mud and all weather. Bottom line great tire

Original equipment. Tires had original tread design. Be careful here as Goodyear has slightly modified the tread since then.
Noise was within reason when they were new, but they get noisier with wear - a lot noisier. This is really their only downfall.
Awesome traction in all of my travels in MN. From deep snow to glazed hard pack, these tires have provided great traction. Their wear is nearly perfect. I can cut the back tires loose from a stop on wet pavement a little easier than I would like. Now I am just waiting for them to actually wear out (again noise).
Even at 85K miles, these tire are still digging in. All four tires do seem to leak some amount of air as well at this age, but no leaks have been found - not even the valve stems. I am assuming then that it may be in the tire bead, but I have never run into something like that before.

I bought this tire because it is a TPC spec tire for my GM truck. I wanted to get back to a baseline with ride/noise so I wanted a GM TPC spec tire. I can say without hesitation that this is the smoothest riding tire I've ever had on this vehicle. GM dealers have mandatory purchase high end pre-calibrated Hunter Road Force balancers. Maybe that is why its so smooth. I have had luck with this tire in mud (hunting) and light snow. For the price and comfort you can't go wrong.

The LT265/70/17c came stock on my '03 F150 supercrew 4wd w/ FX4 offroad pkg. Ran these puppies for 7yrs 70k miles with hardly any



complaints! I ran 40psi and rotated every 5-6k miles. 95% highway and 5% offroad. Offroading was on dry, rocky dirt roads + trails and they



held up fine. I live in AZ, so can't comment on mud or snow performance. Highway performance was very good. I spend a lot of time on the



freeway and the tire tracks very well at 70-80mph, etc. Overall I'm very happy with the mileage and ride quality. (FYI the ride is pretty



stiff, but that is exactly as expected on my type of truck).



The only negative is that I would call the wet traction "so-so". No issues w/ stoping or hydroplane, but the back tires tend to slip when



taking off from a standstill. That might be normal for a truck w/ empty bed and tires with high mileage though??



At first, I replaced them with Wrangler SilentArmor AT LT265/70/17C. Immediately noticed the SA's are quiter and smoother.

The SA's have terrible side-to-side sway on the freeway though. On-off ramps are downright scary! Goodyear offers satisfaction guarantee on the SA's, so I went back to the regular Wrangler AT's. Truck handles much better again! So I recommend the original Wrangler's over the SilentArmors. (funny, even the Ford dealer said he prefers the old Wrangler's to the SA's).



FYI I've noticed a downside to having 265/70/17C as an OEM tire. Only a few of the premium tire brands come in load range C. Michelin LTX AT2, Bridgestone Revo2 have P-metric or load E. Goodyear Wrangler + Firestone Destination AT have load C. So selection is limited when using load C, but I consider it the "happy medium".
