Has anyone else out there experienced cronic alignment problems? My car seems to always pull one way or the other depending on where the tires are located (I numbered them 1-4 and rotate them every 7,500 miles as suggested).

The vehicle was recently aligned but still pulled to the left. The dealer swapped front tires and then it pulled to the right. They say the cause is a bad tire (stock Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus').

I have a friend who is an ex-Michelin tire engineer who claims that the MXV4 is a very sore spot between Michelin and Acura/Honda and they have had 'pulling' issues with that particular tire for quite some time.

Just curious if others have experienced the same and perhaps what was done about it. I have too many miles to get a free tire so by the time it is pro-rated (65%) and I buy another matching one I am in for about $225. I will probably just live with the 'pull'.

 

It does indeed sound like a tire problem. Even with a lot of miles on it, if the tread is good then I would argue for a replacement, or really special price on a new set with Michelin. YMMV

 

I think I speak for most members on this forum when I say:

THE STOCK MICHELIN TIRES SUCK ASS.
