After reading about the flat spots on the Hankook tires, I got to wondering what tires came on the different models of the Explorer. So i went up to a couple of dealers to take a look. There were a couple of base models that had Michelins, but everything else had the Hankooks.
I've just ordered a Limited. So since I've signed the deal I've lost whatever bargaining power I may have had to specify Michelins. (I think)
Has anybody on here been able to swing a deal with a dealer to swap out the Hankooks for Michelins?
And if so, what did it cost?
Even though the price point on the Defenders is pretty close to the Hankooks, I'm thinking it will be pricey.
I've had Michelins on other vehicles and never had any issues with them, but what I've read about some of the Hankooks has me a little worried.
