Has anyone tried these yet?
I know they are a bit tame for many here but I'm considering them against the Michelin LTX AT's

I have not tried either one. You didn't specify what size you are considering (it makes a difference). Just right off the bat I would be inclined to choose the Goodyear. Michelin owns BFGoodrich and markets more truck and off-road tires through that brand.

I'm installing the Roush 2.0 performance 2" lift struts and rear shocks and going to use my original wheels. So looking at All Terrain tires and deciding between these 2.

This is with the stock tire size.
Probably going to go with 265 70 17's

I had them on my 2017 F150 SuperCrew and loved them. Granted they were 20" tires, but they were quiet, and great in the snow.

My work truck came with LT Goodyear Kevlars. They got a little noisier as they got older but when our fleet department swapped them out at 50k, they still had 10/32 of tread and still gripped pretty well in the rain & light snow. I check gas meters in alleys and never got a single nail or glass puncture.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't had either but my question to you is are you staing on the street or are you planning to go Offroad what so ever?

Do lots of trips that end up on trails but nothing extreme... just dirt, some mud, through the woods, etc. But have to travel on highways to get to our various adventure destinations. Don't like mud tires on the road for very long.

I agree with you on the mud tire deal. Understanding that you may deal with some stuff Offroad that could damage a tire I suggest either the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3 or the Firestone Destination XT. I currently have the Bridgestone but plan to get the Firestine next. Both are allterrains and do well both on and offroad

The All Terrain Adventure Kevlar are on my Jeep xj now. Lots of gnarly off road and road trips. They are very quiet, durable, and give great traction in nearly all conditions.

Had their Silent Armors before, another excellent tire.

I would not hesitate to put these on a Ranger. A C load range would be my preference.

Kind of leaning toward the Goodyears. I had the Silent Armours on my lifted Commander.
Tires were great on and off road and would have bought for the Ranger but no longer available.

Goodyear WATA is a great tire for most people as far as on/ mild off road use. I used them for years on all my trucks. Not loud, ride well, good handling, and wear.

I had the Goodyear AT Kevlar on my SRW F-350. It rarely went off road just some sand but they worked well in the snow when needed. Seemed quiet enough on the highway and lasted a long time. I bought them again for that same truck. I even drove home on one that was low on air without knowing it while truck was empty (Some clown knifed a rear tire while I was at the Texas State Fair). I may even consider them for my 2WD Ranger when needed.
