New Tires

I just replaced the Conntenitals on my truck with the Michelin LTX M/S2. I have never noticed such a difference in tires before. The ride is so much smoother with these tires, well worth the price.

Completely agree with you on ride smoothness. In fact, IMO they are great tires in every way except one—directional stability (hope that is the correct term). By directional stability I mean the extent to which the direction of the vehicle wanders around seemingly regardless of how the steering wheel is pointed. I have switched from Wranglers to LTX on an F-150 and Continentals to LTX on an Expedition. Both times I immediately noticed that I had to do a better job of keeping my eyes on the road, otherwise it was going to wander off the road. I also found that I had to steer in to the wind more than before. Also, it is a great tire for traction. Since our 2012 F-350 SRW doesn’t have great directional stability to begin with, I might not notice the switch to LTX.
