Noisy tires, 225 65R 17 Michelin energy A/S feathering on outside edges on front tires. Alignment checked and found to be in spec by dealer. Tirerack rates this tire very high, but after a few thousand miles, they are already showing signs of abnormal wear and cupping. The combination of the T&C fwd engine weight, cheap front end components which cause stability problems, along with this soft riding, hard rubber Michelin, will become another problem like the Ford Explorer & mavericks with Firestone 500S. Steering stability, quick response and wander are a safely issue on this tire /vehicle combination.
