[Fot] tires

[Walter Hollowell]

Michelin tires are a semi good choice for a SUV tow vehicle except that the
reason you get lots of miles out of them is that their rubber compound is
similar to that of iron!
 They are so hard they have no grip but they sell the miles issue. Lord help
you if you have a panic stop. ABS will not overcome physics if there is no
grip!

I have had a Ram 1500 Hemi Sport with
20 inch wheels since 2005. I have been
using Michelin tires recently. While
they are expensive, at about $1300 a
set, they wear well and do fine in
the small amount of snow that we get
around here.
