Ive heard alot of good about Michelin LTX's. They get good reports for ride, mileage, and traction/handling. That is my plan for replacements.

Welcome to SDD trisha.
I have Bridgstone dueller AT's and they are great all round tire. Do you haul anything heavy enough to need to worry about load ratings, if you dont need an E rated tire there is a wider selection of D ratings.
I had LTX's on a truck back in 93 and they were good tires but a few years ago my dad put a set on his truck and my mom's suburban and both sets had problems with bulges and broken bands in the tires. Since they were installed with a few months of each other at the same place it could have been a bad batch.

We do pull a 24' GN sometime, and we have decided to go witht he Bridgestone Revo as the Michelin are not available and have to be ordered. I sure do appreciate your answers. I hope this tire will serve us well. Trisha

If your talking about the pictures being too big then you would need to resize them to 155 by 155 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller). If you dont have anything to edit the photo's with I highly recomend IrfanView, its a free image editor. www.irfanview.com You can then upload it in the UserCP under Edit Avatar.
If its because your dog is too big then I cant help you there

I always just open the picture in paint and use the stretch/skew option to resise it.

Im running the LTX M/S's in 265/75/16 10 plys...I love them for dry pavement and some goo, but they get really squirrelly(sp) in the rain...even at low speed...I will go with the A/T's next time...I run 76 psi on all 4 corners and the ride isnt that bad. I think I paid 180 a tire...for mine, Ive got about 30K on them and they look pretty good still. I rotate/balance them about every 15K so they have worn well!!
