Hello,
My 2012 Yukon Denali needed 4 new 20" tires, and it appeared that a lot of members on this forum seemed to like the Michelin Defenders.
So Costco had a sale and I bought 4 of these tires. Michelin Defender LTX All Season 275/55R20 113T BSW MSPN 04845 with a 70,000 mile warranty. They were shipped from 4 different Costco Facilities to my local Costco in NH. I made an appointment to have them installed.
They also replace some parts on each the 4 tire sensors system with a $12 TPMS generic service pack. Total price including mount and balance, old tires disposal, nitrogen "air" etc was $797.88
The first thing I did when I picked up the vehicle was notice some of the material they use to "paint" the edge of the tire was on the sidewalls. Tires were not cleaned on the outside before I got the vehicle, but maybe most dealers don't do this.
I checked the air pressure on the system and found 3 at 34 LBS and one at 33#. Truck data plate says 32 lbs is recommended. So I asked them, and they said they always put in 2# more because it was warm inside the shop. They use nitrogen air for this.
Four days later one rear tire I was down to 28 and then to 25. So I went back and they pulled the tire off and said it had something to do with some "rust on the rim" and they said they smoothed it out and it should be fine now. So far it is. No charge for this.
Any comments on the tire pressure or the OEM chrome wheel rims issue?
Thanks
