I'm pretty cheap but even I wouldn't pay this much for a luxury truck only to handicap its ride with junk tires. I pulled my (brand new) Bridgestones off immediately and replaced with ms2s per recs here. I'll sell the Bridgestones on Craigslist and recover more than half the cost. You could probably get at least $100-$200 for yours if they have any tread left. You paid too much for the gx to suffer the Bridgestones

So your gx is new and you pulled the bridgestones immediately? Hahaha. How do you like the ms2s? And ya I left the stock size 265s on with ms2s so the size is the same as the junk Bridgestone duelers

the bridgestones ride great for a while. wouldnt drive like a maniac on snow and wet roads though.
obviously the michelins way better. i swapped them on my prior gx and sold the bridgestones for about $300.

Default Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus

Has anyone looked at this tire? On Tire Rack it is rated #1 in the crossover category.
Reviews compare it to LTX MS/2

Default break in

I just put LTX's on my wife's 2010, any thoughts as to how long the break on period is? They are excellent below 65, seems to be some light feedback above that.
