For those of you needing to by tires, I recommend the Michelin LTX/MS/2. The lettering now is just "MICHELIN"--I like the old lettering better. I can now hit rough areas and they dampen vibration like crazy. They're quieter than the originals as well.

What is the load rating on them?
I have to run at least C's but prefer D's for towing reasons

While the Excursion was originally specified with "D" rated tires, Ford has since recalled those, and now specifies "E" rated tires.

David - Glad to hear about the Michelins. Good luck with those!

I couldn't imagine anything less than an "E" rated tire on such a heavy vehicle. I've always had good results with Michelin's for all of my vehicles.

I believe they are E rated. I'll double check and if not correct, I'll post right class.
