Q: treydog90spam@hotmail.com wrote so thats what m/s stands for. well i have the xc lt4 tires right now. hopefully i will be able to wear them out this summer so i can get nice new m/s tires before the next ski season... doubt it though. are you sure they arent rated m/s take a look. most tires are nowadays. i live in the sierras and were required to carry chains. but i seem to recall paying only about $35 at wal mart for chains to go on our ram. -- to reply by email please edit return address as indicated. .

i will have to take a closer look but none of the clear print says m/s. even on the michelin site it doesnt mention m/s rating. they do have a m/s rated tire in their line up. depending on how much driving i do this summer i may be due for new tires in october. the snow chains will be about $35 in the summer too. i will pick up a set to have in the back of the truck dont know how much they will get used but at least they will be there when i need them. chauncey gardiner chaunceygardiner@removethis.myrealbox.com wrote in message treydog90spam@hotmail.com wrote so thats what m/s stands for. well i have the xc lt4 tires right now. hopefully i will be able to wear them out this summer so i can get nice new m/s tires before the next ski season... doubt it though. are you sure they arent rated m/s take a look. most tires are nowadays. i live in the sierras and were required to carry chains. but i seem to recall paying only about $35 at wal mart for chains to go on our ram. -- to reply by email please edit return address as indicated. .
