Sounds like you are having a good time with your Ecodiesel. Are you happy with the fuel mileage that you are getting? It seems like it is varying quite a bit. Is that just due to the amount of weight that you are towing?
As soon as my truck arrives the first trip is to my local tire dealer, he has already quoted me a good price on LTX M/S2 's and has offered to give me $70 per tire for my wranglers. :nerd:.
On another note, I replaced the the "stock" Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires that came with the truck at about 2000 miles. They handled poorly and were loud. Bought some Michelin LTX M/S Also, the Michelin tires have a 70K mileage warranty. Much to my surprise, Discount Tire gave me $75/tire for the Goodyears!
Indeed, it has been my experience that Michelin rides and handles best; however, we'll keep the current Goodyear until they get close to the wear bar before replacing them with Michelin.I'm pretty constant on the fuel mileage around town and on road trips where I'm not carrying/towing any significant weight. Can't complain about the mileage while towing, especially since it is twice what I would I would have had on my F250.

Bought some Michelin LTX M/S (used these tires for years on my Ford trucks). If you go to the TireRack web site you'll see that the Michelin tires are rated #1 in their class, the Goodyear tires at #23 . Also, the Michelin tires have a 70K mileage warranty.

that's a good way to get rid of them, at least while it barely used you can retain a good amount of it's value and get good money for itAs soon as my truck arrives the first trip is to my local tire dealer, he has already quoted me a good price on LTX M/S2 's and has offered to give me $70 per tire for my wranglers. :nerd:
