Does anyone have the Michelin Agillis CrossClimate LT or the Falken Wildpeak H/T02? I have a 2016 Silverado 2500 with 265/60/R20. My tire guy recommended the Michelin but there aren’t may reviews and what I have found is treadlife isn’t great…..Same with Falkens. I don’t really want an A/T, they all look so aggressive these days in my opinion. I know the LTX M/S is a great tire and may end up with that but was hoping for something slightly more aggressive. I really like the LTX AT2 but it doesn’t come in my size

Take a look at the BFG Trail Terrain ... not as aggressive as the AT's or MT's. I've not driving on the Trail Terrain so check with folks that have for ride quality and longevity.

We buy BFG 285/17 A-T E for our 2500HD w/Lance 845 on it. Never have any trouble with BFG Tires over the years ... a little pricey, but worth the bucks, and probably no less pricey than other top quality tires.

The Michelin Agillis are great tires, I have 6 on my Ram. Excellent wet weather and snow traction. And quite!

Yep, Been running the Agillis CC's for several years on our 24' Class C. Great tires, nice smooth ride and quiet to boot.

I used to Michelin LTX A/S on my 2004 Ram 2500. Never had an issue for 17 years in Colorado snow, and only on my 3rd set when I sold the truck in 2021.

When I replace the crappy tires on my 'new' 2019 RAM I will try to find these Michelins again!

EDIT: Looks like only the Defenders are available now - look pretty much the same so I would go with those.

Don't get too hung up on "aggressive." Aggressive is good. The designs these days are not loud on pavement, but hook and pull when you need them to.

I can't recommend Falken enough. I have the AT3W on my truck, and the less aggressive AT version on our Pilot. I think they're called Wildpeak AT or something like that. The AT3W is basically an BFG AT/KO2 from a performance standpoint but they wear a lot better.
