Need new tires

275/55R20
Current / Original tires is a Michelin Defender LTX for about $260/each
This is a good tire with 60K miles on them right meow butits quite pricey.
Is there an alternate, solid choice maybe in the $200 range that could maybe get me 50K miles?

Don't buy Michelin ... they didn't give me an interview for a job once.
From that day forward, I vowed to single-handedly cripple their business.

Michelin > Everything else.
Like many things, with tires you get what you pay for.
I worked for both Firestone and Goodyear. My vehicles only have Michelins.

The biggest difference between Michelin, and other tires is not how they are for the first 20k miles, but the remaining 30-50k miles. Other brands typically get loud and their wet traction goes to hell.
My last truck came with Hankook Dynapro AT2 and those tires were terrifying in the at like 15-20k miles. Threw them in the trash with over 1/2 the tread left and the Michelins carried me another 80k miles.
