I've got the Michelin Cross Terrains, but so far I like them.

I got my reimbursment check this week also. Mine was for $545, $11 less than the $556 I paid for my new tires I put on in May at 32,000 miles. I put on Continentals and was supposed to get the full amount, but it's better than nothing! The new tires have performed fine, but they shake a little bit. Either I can't get them balanced properly, or they are out-of-round. My Exp also pulls to the right. It did this with both sets of tires, but was a lot better after the new tires were put on and the frontend re-aligned. Anyone else have this problem with shaking and pulling to one side?

It's funny you say that your truck pulls to the right and shakes a bit.

I just picked up my 2003 Expedition FX4 the other night and while I was driving home I felt the same symptoms you describe. Steering Wheel shakes a bit from side to side and the Truck pulls slightly to the right.

I'm going to take it back to the dealer and have them rebalance the tires. I don't think the alignment could be off but then you never know. The tires that came stock are the Cont. 265/60 R17
