I have specific questions about Michelin LT tires.

My 2006 Ford F-250 4x4 currently uses LT265/70R17 load range E. Looking at the Michelin tire site, I see that LTX A/T2 (All Terrain) and LTX A/S (All Season) are available for LTs in my size.

I am leaning toward LTX A/S for my next run of tires for the TV since I am rarely off-road. What concerns should I have if I go off-road with these?

I have heard mention of LTX M/S in this forum but don't recall the application, but I did not find it available in my size as an LT. Did I not find an M/S equivalent? Do I miss anything using an A/S and not an M/S.

My driving habits are 99% paved driving, inclement weather only about 10% or less, snow/ice is rare. I have 4x4 and chains but have not had to use them for snow/ice. Is there another consideration I should disclose?
