    Is this vibration normal?

    I went to Discount Tire again today, they will replace the Nittos, which this manager said was not a good choice, for Bridgestone Dueler Alenzas or Michelins. The Michelins are $400 more, he said both are much better than the nittos or Hankooks but there is no guarantee my bad vibes between 40...

    OEM Hankook Tires, Like or Dislike

    I have a 2012 Limited, the 1st winter the Hankooks were acceptable. The 2nd winter I had a hard time turning from a stop when it was snowing even with all wheel drive and the snow mode turned on. I have also had a vibration in the vehicle between 40 and 50 mph since it was new. Discount Tire...

    Is this vibration normal?

    Maybe we need to get legal counsel and try to find out how many of us are having this issue and look at class action. Ford obviously knows about it and continues to sell the vehicles.

    Is this vibration normal?

    I finally was able to read through all of the posts relating to the vibration/shuddering my explorer gets between 40 and 50 mph, this even was evident on the 2015 Limited model and the Sport I test drove. Apparently the tires will not correct the issue and all Ford has done is give us lip...

    2012 Ford Explorer vibration

    Hi Everyone, I have a 2012 Explorer Limited which has had a vibration between 40 and 50 mph since I bought it.

    Is this vibration normal?

    That would be good Crystal except Ron Powell is my District Customer Service Manager and has not responded to 2 voice mails I left for him. As for the Nittos, they were highly recommended by the manager at my local Discount Tire so I'm thinking doing business with them is not such a good idea...

    Hi Crystal, I have 52,700 miles on it, I switched to the Nittos last Summer at the recommendation of the Discount Tire manager. I did not want to go through another Winter with the Hankooks, this di not resolve the vibration issue. Both sets of tires are worse after the vehicle has sat for...

    Is this vibration normal?

    I have a 2012 Explorer Limited, bad vibration between 40 and 50 mph and the Hankooks were terrible in the snow and rain. Discount Tire recommended Nitto, they are much better in the snow but the vibration is still there. Dealer put it up on the rack and ran it up to an indicated 60 mph and no...
