I have a 2003 Mercury Mountaineer (but I call it an Explorer since most
don't tune into what a Mountaineer is but everyone knows Explorer). I want
to install Michelin-made-for-Sears XC LT4 tires like I had on my old '99
Explorer. But they don't make them in the 17 inch size that the Mountaineer
requires. I know that Michelin makes three different tires for this vehicle
(maybe more). What is the Michelin tire that is essentially the same thing
as the XC LT4? That was the absolute best tire I've ever owned in 30 years
of driving.

If you look on Michelins website, it is essentially similiar to the LTX
M/S.
The Cross Terrain is also an excellent tire.

We use Michelin LTX on a 1994 Explorer - best set of tires I've ever owned.
