Message:: [QUOTE="Tibs pete, post: 9907087, member: 292470"]Im usually a Michelin fan but I found the xdn2's lack luster. Theyre good for ice until about -35 after that useless, deep snow forget about it sippings to close they just pack up and turn to slicks same with mud if your running them year round like i did as a company guy. If you do any offroading like bombing through the field to load or get a large dump of snow you cant count on them. Dont get why they're  so hyped up, i havent run the multi compound version tho which may be why people love them so much, dual compounds csn make a huge difference.I ended up going with General Grabber OD'S, supposedly a softer rubber compound than the xdn2's so they wear faster but when it comes to mud and deep snow the xdn2 wont compete. They're not as good on ice as the xdn2 but still perform well enough to make them safe to run year round.If your mostly on road the Michelin xdn2 will be a good tire but if your offroad just as much as on road theres better tires.My 11r24.5 OD's cost me $4500 installed with a national account the xdn2's would have cost me $6300 installed. $1800 more i could put else where in the truck.[/QUOTE]
