Boat ramps michelin ltx vs michelin touring?

[edwardh1]

concrete block boat ramp , and differences in traction

 

[Bluestream]

You want to buy your tires based on traction on a concrete boat ramp? Am I correct?

 

[bullwinkle]

4WD definitely recommended regardless, get a RWD on a mossy ramp-nothing will work!

 

[Doog]

Whatever you buy...just let 5-8 psi out of the drive wheel tires

 

[HerrStig]

The weight transfer on a RWD is TO the drive wheels going up hill. One thing a FrontWD car can't do well is climb steep hills. I've BACKED up a slippery hill near my home when necessary.

I'll never spend another dime on any Michelin tires.

But that's just me....

I would select a tire that has an abundance of very fine siping similar to a ContiProContact for this use (not necessarily recommending this tire, just the tread pattern/design).

I'm sure the Michelin will work miracles for his application!

They are designed by a divine source.

Same.

I knew I wanted LTX for my truck and it was verified when I helped my neighbor pull his boat out with his truck. V6 2WD Silverado pulled his classic Mark Twain I/O up the ramp with ease. My truck with the [censored] Goodyear Wrangler ST would have required clicking into 4WD to do it. I have Costco version of the LTX on my truck now and rarely have to use 4WD. I considered the Latitude Tour tires also but am glad I got the LTX clones, they do it all.

You guys offer hard hitting hard core tire reviews on sensitive subjects. Keep up the good work.

LTX MS or AT?

 

[SteveSRT8]

Our new Ram already has us talking about getting rid of the giant factory Goodyears. Their wet road performance is noticeably lower than our LTX MS2's have spoiled us with...

 

[JHZR2]

I'd hate to know the bill for that situation.

I have the LTX MS2 on a F150 4x4. They do a fantastic job on snow and slippery road surfaces. The only advantage to ATs would be if you spent time on loose surfaces (dirt two tracks, for example).
