<div class="PlainText">Two years ago, I purchased a set of Michelin tires for my Ford
<br>
Expedition at BJs. It was not a great experience, and I don't think <br>
I'd do it again. The tires do come with a road hazard warranty, <br>
though, and free flat repair. I got a puncture in the right rear <br>
yesterday, so I ventured down to BJs once again. The guy there asked <br>
me if it was a front or rear tire. He said they balance them <br>
differently. He said it was "statically balanced" but on a machine <br>
that spins it and uses lasers. I don't know what he is talking <br>
about. I told him it is a rear tire, but that shouldn't matter, <br>
because it will be a front tire when I rotate them. He told me I <br>
shouldn't do that. I have to bring the vehicle to them to rotate and <br>
re-balance. None of this makes any sense to me. Have things changed <br>
drastically or is this guy nuts? I should note that all this stuff <br>
is free when you buy the tires there, so I don't really see any <br>
financial motive for them to want to do this.<br>
