both are about $600 for a set of 4. Again, I don't want any other tire suggestions, these are easiest for me to get and replace. I'm in central Oklahoma, rarely drive on gravel or dirt roads, my truck is a 2wd with 4.10 gears, no lift. We mainly see ice anymore, rarely snow or slush. I want a tire good in the rain with as little road noise as I can get.



The Michelin looks like it would be less noisy on the road, but the Yokohama might be a better wet weather tire. Both have 12/32 tread depth, the Yokohama has a higher load and speed rating and I occasionally tow a car across town on a car hauler. The Michelin's are made in the USA and the Yokes in Japan.
 
Go with the Michelin X. It's damn near identical to the Michelin LTX M/S, which I and many others here have on our Tracs. Great in wet weather, snow, and a great highway tire. Some here have reported getting 80,000 miles on them. I've got about 30-40K on mine, and they hardly look worn at all.
 
Though I have heard good things about the Yokohama, I have had great success with Michelin tires. I put a set at $800 onto my Lexus 2 winters ago and have absolutely loved them.



They are quiet and yet provide great traction...



In a word,,, Michelin's
