"Mine are wearing really well too. The issue is that they vibrate like h*ll over about 65 mph. I usually tow around 62 mph so the issue isn`t as noticeable but drive the truck itself over that speed and there it is. I have been pricing out a new set of MS2`s and will probably bite the bullet and do it sometime this winter but I`m not happy about having to shell out the $ this soon after buying such an expensive vehicle. We have been looking at newer Acura MDX`s for my wife and low and behold, they come with Michelins from the factory as did her 2005"
That's what I don't understand,. When empty, I run speed limit, up to 72-75 mph...no vibration, no wobble, AND, though i don't recommend this, and shouldn't have done it, but once, just to see if I would have a vibration issue, I ran the truck up to a 100 mph on the interstate , and NO vibration..I've towed at 70 mph, (16.4K), and zero vibration...Went to that speed, up to 72 mph and maintained just to see if I would have an issue, anI had none...front tires at 80 psi, per placard, rear dually tires at 65 psi each, also per placard.....loaded, and unloaded..I don't rotate the tires....Never have on any dually I've owned...and never any kind of vibration at all:?
..just doesn't make sense...you'd think they'd all act the same to some extent..
I agree that it doesn`t seem to make sense. It seems some are just fine and others like mine are awful. I`m starting to wonder if maybe I have just one bad one that is causing the problem. The dealer has rebalanced them 5 times now; it is much better than it was but is still there. I am running the exact same tire pressures as you. I think I will take it to a good tire shop sometime over the winter and see if they can do something with it. I bought trailer tires a couple of years ago at Discount Tire in Burlington, WA and they were excellent so maybe I`ll make a trip there.
It sure does tarnish an otherwise beautiful truck. The strange thing is I like the look and tread pattern of the Generals, but the vibration is terrible. I`ll keep you posted.
BTW how are you doing now? Have you had a chance to try out the new toyhauler?
