#123 of 127 Re: Outlander "thump-thump-thump tire?noise [olliexls2007] by gene_v Aug 22, 2008 (8:10 am)
Replying to: olliexls2007 (Aug 07, 2008 3:48 pm) I ordered Primacy's for my XLS 2 weeks ago at Costco. Checked yesterday and they called and found that they (Michelin) won't start making them until mid September. Tire Rack has them on backorder also. The tires are $200.99 a piece at Costco. (225/55-18) (Price increase on July 30 from $187) Costco has a promo on the H series tires at $60 off a set of 4. Replies to this message: gene_v (Sep 04, 2008 10:51 am)

Replying to: gene_v (Aug 22, 2008 8:10 am) I e-mailed Michellin regarding when the Primacy's will be available. They start production September 7 producing 2240 tires. Available at distributers in 3-4 weeks. I gave a copy of the e-mail to my Costco dealer and he said he sometimes gets tires direct from the factory

Replying to: gene_v (Sep 27, 2008 11:19 am) This is Olliexls2007 re:thump,thump..(I am the originator of the thump-mail). I still have the Goodyears 31,000 miles. 13,000 miles of thumping.       I've checked several tire dealers & Sears & a few others will only sell me the Goodyear LS2's that came on the car as they will not guarantee anything else as that's the only tire that is listed by the mfr for the XLS.      Any body out there know what's up w/this? They are telling me that an SUV rides higher and therefore needs a stiffer sidewall than what comes on all the tires that are the same size as the OEM tires.Therefore, they will sell me other tires but will not guarantee them.
