Review on MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 255/55 R19 111W summer by Micha Kowalski Czajo ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

I repeat, this is just horror, not MICHELIN! I bought this kit exactly three months ago (MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 235/55 R19 101V) new from an authorized dealer. Year of manufacture of rubber 2022 (beginning of the year), production Hungary. Lexus RX 450h car. Finally a new set! After 300 km, the car starts to shake, well, I think shrinkage! Food, about 800 km of run, balance again. I did it, immediately went to a straight section, everything was good. Within two or three days, the car starts to shake (not immediately, smoothly on the rise, in the future, every time). Well, I think shrinkage again . like up to 1000-1500 km of run maybe. TOTALLY: during these three months, I drove about 10,000 km and almost every week I went to balance the rubber (9 times in total), each time from 15 to 65 grams per wheel. I also did the camber several times and checked the entire suspension, drive, etc. (everything is ok, all spare parts are original). Another point, the wheels behaved like 10-year-old tires, each time, when balancing, they showed a different geometry, then an egg, then the tread wagged. And to be such that I put the most curve on the back, I come to the service to balance, and the back became more or less even, and the front is just terrible. The guys in the service (at this dealer) were surprised, they said that they had never seen such a thing from premium manufacturers, especially from MICHELIN. Dismantled one wheel, it is soldered from SIX parts! Maybe, of course, this is normal, but in my opinion this is a kapets. Began to notice that the car began to float at a speed of 120-160 (camber ideally). The dealer also could not explain what was happening and promised to change the kit, but so far he cannot coordinate this situation with MICHELIN. Also, earlier I bought this model for the previous car, in a different size (like 225/60/18) and everything was fine, I drove for 5 years, about 180 km, the tread remaining was about 30-40%. I read the reviews on the MICHELIN website, this model even had tread peeling. Now I'm waiting for an answer, I go and rage. I don't plan to buy MICHELIN anymore))

Pros
  • Wear resistance (based on the previous, previously purchased kit). Soft. Good handling up to 120km/h.
Cons
  • Balanced it 9 times in three months. It's just awful, not MICHELIN!
