Got an opportunity to get a set of these and would like to know if anyone has had any experience with these on their M37.Mine is stock.Thanks.

I have them on mine. You will have to get special inner tubes and flaps cause they are radials. You can get them from international tire and tube. I like mine for the looks and driveability of radial tires. No more flat spots. Also with the larger tire you can get your truck rolling at higher speeds.

Try and find out how old they are. I am not shure but I think they are not being made anymore. There should be a DOT code that says when it was made. You can search on the internet for what the codes mean.

I'm going to pick them up tomarrow,I'll find out the details then.I used to have another M37 with the 11.00-16 XL's on it and I used the tubes that were in the stock NDT's with no problems at all.I'm planning on the same with these.

Got them this morning.There in near new condition with at the least 95% tread being the average on all five.The number on the sidewall in question is as follows: DOT FN W8 BAYx0804.Whats that mean?

I put them on my truck last year and I love them. The only hitch is they are really a pain to get on. It cost me as much to have them mounted as it did for the tires (but I got a great deal on the tires themselves). It did seem to give me a few additional mph though, which is cool.

I was doing a web search on these last night...Michelin is not making XZLs any longer in a 16". In fact they are not making any of the XL styles in 16" or at least their website didn't show it being made in that size.

Here is a link if you pick on/off road for the application and 16" for the tire you'll see they say "no tires found".

So it seems that in the future we are either going to have to go with a different tire or stick with NDCC.

I did some poking around on the net about the DOT codes. It seems the FN after the word DOT means they were made in France. The last 4 numbers are the week and year of manufacturing. So those tires were made in the 8th week of 2004. The DOT says tires have a 6 year self life before they should not be sold. So they are still in the good window.
