New tires made a differences

All,

2003 EXD-26000 miles. Had to replace those factory continental tires. Put LT instead of the P due to a lot of off road driving and man what a differences. Take this for what it worth. Those factory continentals are a piece of junk.

I couldn't agree more.

I did it on my 2004 Expy around 8000. I was constantly rotating to get rid of noise and balancing for vibration.

I went to the Michelin Cross Terrains (which I had on my 2000 Expy) and what a difference.

Even my better half noticed. She was originally upset about spending all that $$$ but afterward she came to understand.

0-100 MPH with ABSOLUTELY no vibration at all.

Smooth as a baby's ***.

Bob

Reading stories like this is what prompted me to change the tires at 80 miles. No need to wait and suffer all of the frustration IMO.
