Uh oh, here we go w/ another tire thread! I had thought that I was beyond getting involved in another one as I had decided that when my Michelin LTX Mud & Snows wore out, I would replace them w/ the Michelin Agilis tire- now I see that they aren't even good on wet grass/mud, not to mention snow, which we get here in Utah. WTF? Recently on a flat, very snowy/icy street here in SLC, my M & S's were worthless! They've got about 45k on them, & are just starting to show some wear, but other than that, & the load rating, I have been very pleased w/ the ride. Now what? Tom B.-let the tire thread continue, archives, global warming or not?
