BFG All Terrain, there is no other when it comes to a good all around LT tire.
If you are going to be 4X4ing on broken rock I would go with Hankook.

Re: Brands or models of your tires
I thought he said he was driving a non lifted 2wd.
Anyways, I run 235/75/15 Michelin AT on the rear of my 2wd van as snow tires, with no probs.
Might be a tad big for the front end though. I run stock size winter BFG tires in front.

Re: Brands or models of your tires
I'm in my third winter with 225-70R15 Michelin LTX M/S. These replaced a set of BFG Radial TAs, which were nice but somewhat like bowling balls in winter. The Michelins are great -- quiet and ride well, excellent wet grip, and as good in snow as 2WD can be. I'll be due for new tires before next winter, and will get another set of these for sure.

My 235/75/R15's rubbed the front well with the 2" lift. I can't imagine they'd fit at all without any lift in front, but the back should fit OK.

Re: Brands or models of your tires
Here are my new LT's. Only been on for an hour! BFG 31X10.5R15 Mud Terrain KM2's:
They feel nice and smooth too. My BFG KM's where loud as shit (which was awesome) but these feel smooth and quiet. I'd say they are more of a cross between an all-terrain and a mud terrain. They don't appear to have the rim protector either.

Re: Brands or models of your tires
Just recently went back to Michelin LTX MS 215/70 16. They roll about as good as fresh play-doh and the ride is soft like marshmallows.astroturf wrote:I bought 5 Nokian WR G2 SUV tires this past January. Size is 215/70 16. 2005 Astro 2wd. We had snow in March, and nothing stopped the van. Love the tire, will never go back to Michelin Ltx Ms. About $180.00 a tire. First Post for a long time LURKER. Thanks
But, What the Heck. Locally available, and I really got a good deal.
Going to eat some Crow now.
