Michelin Premier A/S
I just put 4 new Michelin Premier A/S on my 2004 ES330. The ride is horrible!
I have spoken to the dealer and Michelin. The dealer wants to put a set of Defenders on the car.
Michelin says that they now only support you putting Premier A/S on this car.
Everything I read says the Premier is suppose to be comfortable. Comfort is my number 1 criteria for a tire.
Any ideas/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

That's strange. I just went from some old Primacy MXV4s to Premier A/S and the ride is still comfortable. It is a tiny bit more bumpy but it drives very well.
Is your suspension in check and are your wheels balanced?

Thanks *****,
Yes those things have been checked since tires went on. Michelin could not fogure it out either
and said, believe it or not, that it could be a tire defect. Swap all four tires and drive it.
That is likely what I should do -- I just hate swapping the tires without knowing where we are going.
