<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. </DIV>

<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>

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. </P>
