We've been installing these on the transit vans like crazy at my work. Haven't heard any feedback yet, but I've been out for shoulder surgery since November. They're designed to be more of a snow tire then the defenders.

It sure is. I broke my leg in 3 places like 5 years ago and the recovery was half the time then a rotary cuff tear. It also hurts a hell of a lot more.

The Michelin Agilis Crossclimate

I am planning to put a set of the Michelin Agilis tires on my '15 Sierra 1500.    They will be replacing my "P" rated Defenders.  My truck is rarely put to work and is treated gently.   Before I purchase, I'd appreciate first-hand reviews/comments from GM Trucks forum members. I am fine with the initial cost but concerned about a noticeably harsher ride and possibly poorer fuel economy.  My only reason for choosing the Agilis over the Defender is the winter designation.

I don't know if anyone here has a real world review, but I did find this:

Yes, the reviews on the Agilis don't compel me to take the gamble.  Tires are a major purchase and I want to spend wisely. The Defenders and its predecessors have served me well and I'll likely buy again.  However, I'm the type of person that actually looks at tires on a truck and 20+ years of the same look on my trucks diminishes the excitement of such a major purchase!
