Stay away from LG. My new front loaders had the main board fail on the washer. Two replacement main boards also failed. 30 days later they authorized a replacement that will arrive in 14 days. Unprofessional, rude customer service. I'm still demanding a full refund on the full set as I don't want an LG product in my house ever again. BBB complaint in process. 45 days for a replacement is unacceptable for a 3 month old unit. We have young children so he laundry piles up. I feel like I'm in college again going to the laundromat.

Had similar experience with an lg dehumidifier. I will never buy another lg product again.

Did a big load of laundry, seems to work great. Extremely quiet.

I currently have about 40k mixed city/highway miles on these Michelin latitude tours from December 2011, 25k less than what Michelin warranty's them for. I don't think I'll make it another 25k despite bimonthly pressure checks and on schedule rotations by Costco themselves

Specs: P265/70/17

Uses; no towing (booo) and payloads have ranged in the hundreds of lbs, nothing out of the ordinary.

Pics from today:

They're going to have to make to 2016 because I don't want to spend $800-1000 on tires this year!

Go with Michelin LTX M/S 2's. My dad's choice of tire usually last him about 80k on a regular basis. Has had 4 sets between 2 trucks

white1500 · April 9, 2015

They're roughly $150 more in total but I suppose they're worth it, I've never heard anything bad about them.

And I can't complain about these latitudes but 40k seems like it went by too fast. Rain hasn't been an issue lately and I haven't driven in snow since 2013 anyways so for regular use they've held up fine.

I'll see what Costco says about the tread depth.

LongrangeLauber · April 9, 2015

I look at it this way: pay $50 less a tire now but get half the life or eat the $200 (figuratively speaking) and they last twice as long. In the end you save on a whole set of tires

white1500 · April 9, 2015

True, that's what a harder compound will give for only $150 more.

Although I'm not sure I can sacrifice all of this lateral grip I currently have?! lol

If you've got time to wait there are deals on tires every so often. Might find them for the same price, or even less with rebates than the cheaper tires.

white1500 · April 9, 2015

They're pretty cheap right now, approximately $700 for latitude tours and $850 for ms2's. They both can be found near or above $1000 at times.

Although my dad has a full set of latitudes with 3/4 tread left so maybe I'll just "borrow" those..

My friend has michelin LTX A/T2 265/70/17LT on his 2011 f150 and it handles very poor on the road compared to my z71. My tires are firestone destination LE 265/70/17 all season-P. I mean i can swerve and take turn goes fast and his truck is totally unstable, not sure if its the tires?

white1500 · April 9, 2015

Totally different trucks to begin with...

But those Firestone's are turning out to be pretty good. My dad bought wheels in November and they came with that exact tire and size mounted, so far they've been great. And they are quite a few mm narrower than the same sized Michelin's so it helps with making the truck feel lighter and more precise.

The Destination AT sucks as well. I had them in 265/75R16. Awful in dry pavement. Horrible in rain, terrible on hard dry dirt
