<div>Moral of the story is don’t buy Michelin tires. Actually just my personal opinion, I’ve had them on new cars and could not wait until I could replace them. I think they are overrated.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">When recently buying a set of four Michelin Defender's for my truck, owned since new and never wrecked or damaged, etc., there was a balancing issue with the new Michelin Defender's. The usual weights were not achieving
the vibration free use the prior, worn down but smooth driving BFG tires had demonstrated.

<p style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">Tireman of Maumee, Ohio (zero affiliation on my part except as a customer), w<span style="font-size:12pt">here I buy tires,</span><span style="font-size:12pt"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt">the salesman said
</span><span style="font-size:12pt">the wheel may be the </span><span style="font-size:12pt">culprit for my vibration complaint on the brand new Michelin Defender's that had just been installed and had been balanced but were vibrating enough at normal expressway
speed limits of 55-65 mph, I could feel it in the steering wheel and it was really annoying.
</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0px; margin-top:0px">I returned in less than 8 miles. The Tireman salesman said Tireman 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.

<div class="x_PlainText">I have Vredesteins on the TR3, excellent handling. Also, Firestone has this size too, Coker may have this in their Michelin X tire, I know they have 155 but not sure about 165.

<br>
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.

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>
