It's about time to replace the DynaPro ATMs on my Ranger.
Looking at the Michelin Defender LTX tires.
They have a 116 rating vs the 112 of the Hankook.
Will they do a better job than the DynaPro or is there a better P tire out there?
The Hankooks aren't that bad when I pump them up to 40 PSI.

The OEM Hankooks tires are horrible in the rain. The front end pushes and the rear kicks out.

The Michelin are really good tires. They will be much better than the stock tires.

I have the LTX Defender M&S2. They are the XL load rated tire. Excellent tire.

XL load is the way to go for towing, without the heaviness or harshness of higher ply rated tires. I out XL Cooper Discoverers on in the spring and towing is night and day improved over the Hankooks.
