I went with Firestone LE3. More a highway tire. On my f150 I had oversized Firestone A/T and then same size H/T and they seemed to be the same for clearance. But that was a different vehicle

Awesome, i think when time i will go with the 255/55/r20 in the Michelin.

Thanks for the help!

As you can see from a side by side pic from my wife's stock continental`s and the Michelin defenders I had installed today it's night and day difference. Also the Michelins are more quite and smoother. I did put a tape measure on both 2021 awd cars and mine went up 3/4" with the new Michelins. Zero rubbing and fills the wheel well up nicely!
Great upgrade imo!

Looks good! Which tire specs did you go with and which passport trim you have?

No rubbing? I was looking at 255/50/20… also any gas mileage drop?

Being that I just had them installed today I could not answer the mpg question. I'm sure it will drop a bit but nothing worth worrying about. Zero rubbing! If 255/55/20 don't rub 255/50/20 will not rub.

Thanks for the info!

It looks like it's been about a year since you posted this thread. Would you care to provide an update as to how you're liking those Michelins? I'm most curious about the ride quality and the fuel economy.
