I'm looking at the same size LTX MS tire or the Bridgestone Revos AT. The Michelin LTX MS is a very mild mud designation tire and is very simular to many AT type tires. You have a 4x4 and live in northern IL. the LTX MS may work better in the snow conditions.

I've read some reports that the LTX MS is not so great on wet pavement... This has my wife a little scared... Have you (or anyone else) heard similar comments???

i just bought a set of 265/70/17 michelin LTX A/T 2 for the wifes F250 4X2 SD, so far they are great, rides smooth and quiet with great traction in mud
According to the Michelin website, these two tires have identical specs, with the LTX M/S boasting better snow traction and also denoted as Ford OEM.
The Suburban was DWs daily driver for the first 3 1/2 years we had it. When she got her Hemi Magnum in late 04 it became my daily driver. Last time she drove it, it had the LTX M/S tires, then I went to ProComp before the Revos I have now. She's not usually one to notice things like tires, but she had the truck out a few weeks back and offered an unsolicited comment about how good the tires felt in the rain.
Back to your point, I would choose the LTX M/S given the two finalists you have selected.
FYI, Tire Rack has these at $178 each, but there's a special offer until 5/31 that gives you a $500 travel discount card if you buy 4. Bridgestone is offering $100 cash rebate on 4.
