Wow, I can now say that there is an overwhelming support for this tire as the best tire for our GX. I can't wait to put them on my GX. If you are kind enough, can you post some pics of your GX with them on to see how they look, Thanks!

Keep in mind, these are LTs (up to 80psi) and are about a size bigger then OEM.

The problem is MS/2 LT does not exist in OEM size. There is MS/2 passenger tire which does exist in OEM size and seems to fare better in the reviews as well (compared to OEMs) but it lacks Green-X technology the LT tire has and is also rated for a far lower pressure than 80 psi.

If you do not tow and/or carry heavy loads you do not want or need LTs, get the "P" rated tires. Also, LTs do not come in the OEM size (265/60/18), the "P" rated tires do . The closest size in the LTs are 275/65/18 and they have a 1.6' larger overall diameter (approx 32" tall).

You can get P-rated OEM size LTX MS/2 which has the same wear rating as LT and better reviews than OEM.

I'm planning to get them at the local Mavis tires. When I order them what size or basically how do I order them? I'm not towing and all my driving will be city and highway.

You don't need an LT tire on the GX. My experience with the LTX lasting over 100k miles is with the normal "P" tires.
