I've installed Michelin tires on four different cars and been very
happy. I would not judge a brand based on the OEM version of the
tires. The manufactures care more about a comfortable ride and
things that help mpg for their overall fleet economy ratings, so
even tires with the same name can be different between the OEM and
retail models.<br>

recently buying a set of four Michelin Defender's for my

etc., there was a balancing issue with the new Michelin
Defender's. The usual weights were not achieving the

had a balancing option referred to as "Force Balancing"
wherein they don't use the usual weight's. For "Force
Balancing" they use a different machine and move the
tire around the rim a very small amount several times
until they find the perfect balancing location of tire
to wheel. This worked for me and an hour later the truck
is now as vibration free and smooth driving as it was
when new. </p>

excellent handling. Also, Firestone has this size

As for rubbing with wider tires, someone else needs
to comment, I have run 165 width on 6” minilites
with great results, more rubber on the ground and no
rubbing. <br>

Anyone have any experience with the Nexen tire
(SB802)? There are very few<br>
tire stores around here that can still mount a tire
on a wire wheel and the<br>
only tire they seem to be able to get in a 165/80-15
is the Nexen. If I go<br>
with a wider tire, will I have a problem with
rubbing and will the steering<br>
be even harder? <br>
