Like others here my wife and I have had the tire/road noise problems with our L-Series (2001 LW300) - dealer replaced the tires at no charge after
12K miles and added the shim kit. Now we're up to ~40K miles and the road noise has become unbearable. Dealer's service department of course said tough luck and gave a somewhat laughable quote for a set of Michelins, though they was somewhat amused when I said that on smooth pavement the car sounded like a semi.In the past (with other vehicles) I've had great luck with Michelin, good performance and great treadwear. But thus far this car eats tires - do the Michelins last any longer? Are there any particular models of Michelins that anybody has had success with, or any other tire brands that we should consider?
Thanks much for any advice!
