Review on MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 265/65 R17 110 year old by Stanislaw Dwojak ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The quality is terrible and the product is not what it says it is.

I will say it again: this is not Michelin, this is terror! It has been exactly three months since I made the purchase of this kit (a new set of MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 235/55 R19 101V) from an authorized vendor. Production in Hungary will commence in 2022 in the year that will be the manufacturing year for rubber. Lexus RX 450h vehicle. At long last, a whole new set! After 300 kilometers, the vehicle begins to wobble, which may be a sign of shrinking. Food, around 800 kilometers of running, and regaining balance. I was able to accomplish it, and after that I walked right to a portion where everything was well. Within a couple of or three days, the automobile will begin to shake (not instantly, but gradually increasing, in the future, always). Well, I believe that shrinkage has occurred once more. as much as 1000–1500 kilometers (km) of running, possibly. OVER THE COURSE OF THESE THREE MONTHS, I COVERED A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 10,000 KMS, AND I WENT TO BALANCE THE RUBBER NINE TIMES, EACH TIME VARYING FROM 15 TO 65 GRAMS PER WHEEL. I also did the camber multiple times and checked out the entire suspension, drive, and other components (everything is fine, all of the spare parts are the original). Another aspect to consider is that the wheels had the same characteristics as tires that were ten years old. Each time they were being balanced, they displayed a different geometry, first an egg, then the tread wagged. And in order for it to be like this, I put the greatest curve on the rear, I come to the service in order to balance it, and the back became more or less even, while the front is just awful. The employees in the service department (at this dealer) were taken aback; they claimed that they had never seen anything like it before from top manufacturers, in particular Michelin. After taking apart one wheel, I discovered that it is assembled from SIX different parts! Although it's possible that this is typical, I don't think it is; to me, this is a red flag. At a speed of 120–160 miles per hour (camber ideal), the driver noticed that the automobile had begun to float. The dealer was similarly unable to explain what was going on and made a commitment to replace the kit; however, they have not been able to coordinate this matter with MICHELIN as of yet. In addition, I had previously purchased this model for a different car, in a different size (such as 225/60/18), and everything worked perfectly; I drove for five years and around 180 kilometers on them until the tread was worn down to between 30 and 40 percent. After reading the customer evaluations on the Michelin website, I discovered that this particular model had tread peeling. As I sit here in anticipation of a response, I go and get angry. It is not in my future plans to purchase any more MICHELIN.

Pros
  • Resistance to wear (depending on the previous kit that was purchased in the past). Soft. Good handling up to 75 miles per hour (120 km/h).
Cons
  • I gave it 9 different balances over the course of three months. It's not even close to being Michelin-worthy!
