Just looking to see what other people are using I have Michelin LTX on my dodge now 265/70/17 Very happy with them. Michelin Defender M/S2 is what I am looking at to replace them with anybody have them now and what do you think?
And snow is on its way.

Currently running the stock Goodyears on my Silverado, but as soon as it's time for a new set, I'm going to the Cooper AT/3s. Available in C and E load ranges in your size. I have nothing against Michelin, and these Discoverers are similar in tread pattern to the old Michelin XCX APTs (previous favorite). Put about 20k on a set of AT/3s on my last Silverado before trade-in and they were quiet, capable off pavement, good in snow, and showed very little wear. They were recommended by a friend that runs several sets on his 2wd work trucks in Michigan, and the drivers all like them.

Traditionally, Michelin has always made some great tires. In looking them up on the NHTSA Tire Rating site, they have an excellent tread wear rating, and 1 step down from the top on Traction. (A for these tires if I am reading it right as the "LTX M/S2", AA would be top of the mark. Temperature rating is good too.)

Cooper Discoverer would be an excellent choice as well. I've had the exact same set now, that I've moved across 3 different trucks. First 2 trucks were really low mileage used, but the 3rd truck has been pretty much my DD & local tow rig. I really love the Cooper tires; hidden & undermarketed gem IMHO.

But you will be fine with the Michelins too.

Is this a DRW or a SRW truck?
If it's a SRW, how wide are your factory rims? If this is a primary tow vehicle that is SRW, I would look to upgrade to 8" or 9" wide wheels if you are not there already. This will improve your towing stability with additional footprint.
BUT, given where you live, additional footprint in deep winter snow isn't always a favorable aspect.

These are the Coopers on my 2500HD; 305/70/16:

X2 on the Cooper Discoverer A/T3's. Have them on the Duramax and they are great. So good in fact I bought a set of Cooper Adventurer A/T's for my half ton.

I have the Michelin MS2 on a f250 4x4 diesel, best tires ever. 20.000 miles and they look like new tires. I rotate them every oil change 2,500-3,000 miles. The Goodyear were junk!!!! The Cooper Discoverer A/T on a f150 were the worst riding tire ever!!!! I took them back after one mile down the road and got the Bridgestone Dueler second best tire ever. Good luck with whatever you get and happy boating!

Truck is SRW 3500. Tires you have are they noisy? Look pretty good. My current tires have 44k there not shot but not good for winter. What kind of mileage you get out of a set? Looking for 10ply tires.

Michelin LTX MS2 forever. 2011 GMC 3500 DRW. They last forever, and do reasonably well in the snow considering it's a dually. I typically get 75-80K out of every set and that involves regular towing......at least 50% of the time there is some sort of trailer behind it. I know they don't look the coolest, but as much as I drive (45K+ per year) I'll take the tread wear as one of my biggest deciding factors.

I'm running some Nitto Terra Grappler G2 on '14 RAM 2500. Very happy with them. Quiet for a fairly agressive AT and great road manners. Not terribly expensive either.
