As I have posted some time ago, I believe that the Michelin LTX is the best
alround tire. A couple of weeks ago when I was going skiing I noticed that
the steering wheel pulled left. Since I was going uphill in winter
conditions I did not clue in right away that I had a flat front tire (2
punctures through some glas on the road). I decided to drive to the final
parking lot on a flat tire and changed it. After it has been plugged the
tire is running again, not a bad testimony for the sidewalls.


Yes and I have done the low air ride too on other occasions, especially in
sand where it works really well. I have never done it on boulders though. (I
like to keep my rims intact.)
