Unacceptable. My GM dealer informed me that Michelin recognized that there was a premature wear problem with these tires (you can read more poor reviews about these tires on Tire Rack and on Consumer Reports). These tires are generally well rated, however they receive abysmal reviews for winter traction and especially for premature wear. Back in the day when I changed tires, I don’t remember a new tire being noticeably out of round. I figured these new tires had a separation, not sure, I didn’t hit anything, no hard braking, only driving to and from work, no impacts or even speed bumps. AWD would eliminate the problem, but you still shouldn't have it in FWD. My guess is the tires. My Tahoe came with Goodyears (different than on the Acadia) and when in two-wheel drive (which was rear on that truck), the tires would spin at low throttle on wet roads, once the tires had around 25k miles on it. I did some checking. Your Honda comes with 94V tires. The Michelin Defender 2 tires are 98H. So yes, your ride is going to be harsher and remain so. The number 98 is the load index for the Michelin. H is the speed rating for the Michelin. 98 is larger than 94. That means the Michelin can handle more weight. Some people hold Michelin tires in high regard, I will never use them again. As with everything Bitogo opinions vary. They certainly work for many - but between rock chipping and cracking - moved on as well … Currently Cooper, Conti, BFG (mainly bcs of tread and C rated in 285/315) For me, these tires are at approx 50% useable life. On my past 4 sets of Michelin Defender's, I run them to 75k miles (when the tread depth is between 5/32nds and 6/32nds of an inch) and sell them on Craigslist for $275-300. The Hakka 9's looked great after 3-4 winters and about 25k on them. Though I absolutely understand what you're saying about experimenting with tires. No doubt that Michelin and Bridgestone are always a well rounded tire choice. My experience with Continental has been middle of the road, but I haven't driven on the winter tires. Looking to replace my tires in about 5K, current running factory Goodyear A/T type tires. Looking for feed back on anybody who has experience with the Michelin LTX AT2 tires. This tire comes stock from Ford on the F250 with 20 wheels my truck uses 18. Thanks for any feedback 👠LTX is a very good tire but they have tread cracking. The best Michelin I've had, IMO, was the Latitude Cross; had them for 8 years and 91,890 km (57,431 mi) with regular rotations every 10,000 km (6,250 mi) and pressure checks every month. Well I posted last summer about the noise of the Michelin HydroEdge 205/55-16 tires on my aunt's 2004 TDI VW Beetle. The car is religiously maintained at the dealer but the tires were bought in late May of 2011 at 104,000 miles. It's coming up on 156,000 now. The tires have been rotated pretty.
