Though I had outstanding performance and value for the MS/2 tires on my 2010 FX4, I am not impressed with these AT/2's in 275/65-20 load range E. Thus far with less than 8K on my truck, six tires will have been replaced. The factory front two had to be replaced due to an defective tie-rod/alignment issue from the factory and that is not the fault of the tires. However, the other four replacements (including the need to replace two of them twice) is clearly a quality issue (these two "sets" were on the rear of the truck).
The tires will not hold balance and it seems to be a slipped belt or other such defect that happens within the body of the tire. One tire took more than 18 ounces to bring it into balance and within 600 miles, the truck shook horribly between 70-80MPH. I have another new one scheduled to be installed this coming Saturday and I hope this replacement is the last one. While I fully understand that defects happen, the fact that I have had 3 in a row is very disappointing. I hope this is not the start of the "cheapening" of Michelin whereas QA/QC is out the window.
