Because of this board I replaced CCs (Crappy Contis) with Michelin X T because everyone said they were outstanding. They were wrong.mess said:
They are effin unbelievable. I went from shaking steering wheel and horrible ride to absolute heaven. I still cannot believe how good these tires are (also heard good things about BFGs).
Still some jumping around over certain bridge seams etc. but an unbelievable new ride.
The 18" rims are 18" wide. - Must be an 06 option!92TripleBlack said:Yes. The 17" rims are 7.5" wide.

Tirerack has the Michelins for $179 each. That would be $210 each shipped and mounted and balanced all in.

I haven't, but then again, I didn't have it before. Remember, the stock tires don't balance well, so replacement will often fix the problem.

Haven't noticed wear after 7k of driving. The nubs ae gone though. I love them. I don't know about the Michelins. They are All Season and rated high by Tirerack. Cost is the same. All things being equal however, they are still French. Care for some Freedom Fries?adjmcloon said:

They had them in closeout last year. I thought this year with the '06 they would put new shoes on but the CC are still there. Wonder if the demand from Nissan has been high enough to strain the aftermarket supply or if they really are going to discontinue and Nissan will start putting the crappy Badyears on they use on the Titans soon.cheezmo1 said:
I ordered an 06 LE last week, should be here in 6-8 weeks. So if that is happening, I'll see then. But at every tire site for oem tire size, the Michelin's show [email protected]? Kinda weird.

I bought the Mich XTerrains from Armerical's Tire Co. for $596 for one set before mount and balance. The store manager gave me $36 discount plus $50 rebate from Michelin for a total price of $510. I bought the tires on August 10, 2005.
I had BFG All Terrain T/A's 31" on my Toy truck. I hated them. They were good for noise, vibration, and drive on rocks that's it. May be I got a bad set.
The best thing I've done for the Armada was to get rid of the POS stock tires.

I had BFG T/A's on my 4Runner, noisy and wore out quick. This last set I had on were Bridgestone Duelers AT, outstanding tire, got 55k miles from them, 18k better than the BFG's. Just put on four 30.5 x 9.50 Bridgestone Revo AT's last week for $565 OTD. My trusty tire man; Ken of Ken's Tire in Livermore said they wear even better then the Dueler and expect 60k miles from them. I wish they made the Revo in 18". BTW if you want good prices and OUTSTANDING service look Ken up, he is the best. 4 wheels off, tires off, new tires on, tires balanced, wheels & tires put on truck, paid and pulling away, all in <40 min, wow! A fellow came in while I was there and said he was starting to get a vibration from the front end and thought one of the front tires he bought from Ken was out of balance. He was re-balanced and out of there in 10 minutes! Free flat repair, free rotation and free re-balancing anytime during the life of the tire.F1_80s_90s said:
