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.

PS I am thinking of going to TOYO LT tyres on my next change and feedback

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.  Thanks.
