Malcolm Fairly common problem. I also run Michelin on my Van. The fronts tend to wear on the outside. When I hear the Hum I just do a four wheel rotate from front to back. The rears wear fairly even across the tyre. Problem solved. I make it a rule to rotate every 5000 kms. I know about the spare tyre not getting used but come renewal time I usually only have to purchase three and place the best of the four as the spare. Regards Ray Hunnam Penrith Australia PS I am thinking of going to TOYO LT tyres on my next change and feedback -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of Malcolm Stebbins Sent: Tuesday, 7 June 2005 9:41 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Michelin Agilis Tire Hum/vibes??
I have fairly new Michelin Agilis tires and right at 95 KPH (60 mph) I get a vibration & a vibration noise/hum. the Michelin Agilis tires havae fairly agressive tread, more like all-season, than highway tires. Anyone else with this sympton?? what might I do??? I am about to rotate the tires and we'll see if that makes a difference.
