Default Tires

Hi,

its time for me to get new tires for my Lexus GX470 - 2007. Which ones are better to get: Michelin LTX M/S2(Highway All-Season) or Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus Technology (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season)?

Should I go with any other Brand / Model, feel free to suggest.

Thank you in advance for your time and responses!

I will strongly consider the Nitto's or the Michelin's when my time has come.

Search it up ... there's loads of positive reviews for the Mich LTX MS/2 here to the point of ad nauseam. You'll also find a couple of others highly regarded by the minority.

I like the new Michelin M/S2's that I have on mine - the Goodyear Assurance Triple-Tred was my second choice. I've had them on other SUVs and the grip is amazing, wet or dry. The downside was short life and noise. But I'd accept that in return for being able to stay on the road.

I just purchased the Nitto Terra Grapplers for mine and love em. They look more aggresive then the highway tires I had on before. They are also quiet. I dont get any more road noise then I did with the highway tires. I bought them from Tirebuyer.com They had the best price on em and free shipping. Also, go to retailmenot.com and search tirebuyer coupons and I got an additional $35 off with the purchase of over $500 which they will be. overall spent just around $600 for them to get delivered.
