I really like the Michelins too. Got the XDN2's. Saw an O/O at Love's getting a flat repaired, I asked him how many miles he had on his XDN2's, he said over 400,000 miles, as he had them re-grooved (to be fair they were getting a little thin that's why I asked him).
I see that Goodyear has made a tire siped all the way down like the XDN2 as well, just not as wide as the Michelin. Excellent road grip with the sipes. I believe they may be beneficial in the heat as well. But Steve was telling me they may not be California Smartway approved.
L/Op Anyone buy a full set of drive tires?
