You made me look Lynn!

Last April I bought 275/50R22 DefenderLTXM?S summer tires for my DD Silverado 1500. One at 1/2 oz, 2 at 1oz and one at 1.5oz. Superior ride/quiet to the OEM GY's that are back on for winter. Made in USA.

In December I bought LT265/60R 20 Defender LTX M/S load range E for the 2500 HD. 2 at 2 1/2 oz, one at 4 oz and one 5 1/2 oz. Only drove it a couple miles since but noticeable ride/quiet over the OEM GY's.

Maybe larger sizes beget more balance weight??

My second generation old school tire/alignment shop is a Tire Rack approved installer and delivers directly there. They would let me know if there were issues with new tires. I've gotten calls regarding Coker repro stuff.

German cars, one came with Continentals that I replaced at 26K because I couldn't take the noise!

Others including the last Audi came with Michelin Pilot Sport in rubber band sizes. Never an issue. - Bill W
