I really don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but I swapped my 21,000 mile Goodyear Wranglers for a set of new Michelins on my 06 HSE w/ 19's, and the car is TRANSFORMED (the 4 wheel laser alignment helped too, I'm sure). The Goodyears were ungodly loud and harsh, and now the Michelins make the vehicle whisper quiet, and the ride is so soft it's unreal. I know this is type of tire swapping story has been told countless times here, but it really is an EXTRAORDINARY transformation, completely beyond all of my expectations........just thought I'd share.

 

What Michelins did you get? I plan to put a set on before to long.

Ihave the same tires on my 06 LR3 HSE and it turned out to be a religious experience.

 

Bring up the Good Year Silent Armours on the same home page and compare the ratings in every category against the Synchrones. Not bashing the Michelines. They make good tires. Just stating as I always have, the numbers speak for themselves.

 

I have to back up Jantiz on Silent Armours.Great tire,quiet .stable on the road, no vibrations,great traction and for have the price of Michelins.I recently switched from original wranglers to 265/60/18 silent armours .After 2 months of investigation I followed Jantiz and...never regraded my decision.On my recent trip to Maine(2000 round trip) they preformed outstandingly.
