Completely agree Bill.

I have no opinion on the quoted section from that thread. Just posted the thread for informational and discussion purposes. I would have no idea how difficult it is to submit a warranty claim. I am certain that the more competent your shop is, the less difficulty you will have with a claim.

Also agree that Hunter is the cat's a$$ in alignment and balancing equipment. It is all I ever used. I still have a Lite A Line AND a DSP alignment system. I am just saying that a perfect tire without any radial run out and with NO side pull (as they all SHOULD BE) would not need a Road Force balancer to "correct" or minimize the tires shortcomings.

I agree that the Road Force system minimizes those issues. I would rather have four tires that are true and correct, and can be put on any corner of the car (other than unidirectional and staggered, obviously).

Lynn I was in tire business for 20 years till about 24 years ago GY + FS and I suggest speaking to dealer about the issue he of course will want to spin them up if rims are true as you stated you shouldn't have an issue with getting warranted.

Apparently pi$$ed of at least one guy at Garage Journal.

Did find what I was looking for according to Michelin (at least for truck tires): Page 176 (182nd page, but numbered 176) in this Manual.

Find it interesting that Michelin standard is half of the Bridgestone standard. Bridgestone says .125 inch. Michelin says .062. I think .125 (that's a freakin 1/8 of an inch!!!) is ridiculous.
