Question for owners with the 235/45/18 tire size stock... what brand tire came on your car and what are your thoughts?
Here in Canada the Sport and Touring models come with 18s.
2013s came with Michelin Primacy MXM4
2014s came with Goodyear Eagle LR2
2015s Some came with Michelin (Jan-March) the rest now have Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS
I just missed out having the Michelin Primacy on my build as my car was made in April.... little upset about this as I have had trouble with my current set of 235/45/18 Goodyear LR2s... they flat spot in only a few hours because I heat them up and park on cold garage floor...
Then I jump on the highway which is only minutes from my house.
I asked the dealer to borrow a Touring with the Bridgestone Potenza.. tried to simulate parking it after a drive but could only do it for a few hours... no shimmy or vibration in the steering wheel.
I test drove my new car that has been sitting at the dealer over night (and on the lot for a few weeks)... it had a very light shimmy at 60mph... is that normal for these tires? They feel harder than typical Grand Touring All-Seasons.... I really don't want another nightmare of balancing... or buying new tires so early.
