No disrespect but I just researched both of those Michelin models and there a light truck tire only rated for around 2100 lbs, unless i was reading the wrong criteria. Either way neither model comes in a 235/80/17

I have Firestone Destination XT tires on my dually and I like them a lot. 235 80 R 17 OEM size. Not noisy, good tread pattern good in winter conditions. I paid $150 a piece through my local dealer here, don't know what they'd be now?

At that 5th size, i would be thinking about upgrading my truck to a class 5 rather than looking at tires.

No disrespect but the truck is all legal and that's based on factory specs and not even what we all know the true capabilities are. The only number I'm close on is The pl# and I honestly don't pay that much mind to and just follow gawr since that's all that's enforced. The question is not on the truck, its on suggested tires only please.

Steeltex were junk for me. I got rid of them as soon as I could. Also one of the lowest rated tires on Tire Rack. They changed names to "Trans Force" because the brand had such a bad name.

I'm in the market for tires right now... Seems simple huh. I'm in Oklahoma so winter is only a problem for a few weeks out of the year... So I'm looking for a HWY tire that can survive the shoulder wear these things have. My long time goto guy for tires is suggesting Firestone Transforce AT2 or the TOYO Open country H/T II. Both have typical reviews.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. Shouldn’t the tire pressure be the other way around? 80 rear 65 front?

Rear duels are supposed to be set at 65 psi because they share the load and fronts at 80 psi because there singles with no help next to them

Too much bulge and washy feeling hauling at that low of pressure. Not a good recommendation.
Read much? Did I say hauling? No, I said empty. 65 is ridiculous when empty.

Michelin are nice tires ,
If used them a lot miles fast,
One high miles tire you can buy,,,
But after 4 years, they do hold the test of time, dry up an come apart
In southwest,
Other tires are better in this area
General highway tires are good and at far price, any USA tire like be happy with, normal miles tires,
