    Good question, I'm following this thread. Balance and protection, I use Ride-On, you can read about it here an get comments as well, there's also an official Ride-On link.

    My current replacements are Michelin MXW4 or something like that. They are no longer made. Personally, whenever I change these I will look for an all season touring tire that has an "open" style tread to better channel water away.

    As far as balancing I take my wheels to my local Chevy dealer and have them Road Force balanced. Has worked well so far. I'm not a fan of liquid anything in my tires. Beads can be used as supplemental balancing material but tires must be weight balanced also because they require lateral balancing. Check out this link:

    Thanks for the responses. I’m Thinking about Michelin Premiers . I have them on my wife’s CRV and they seem to be a good tire. Anyone have any thoughts on that tire ?

    You might pose this question over on the 'other forum', the more 'eyes' the more answers you might get. Having said that, I'm not a fan over there, jus sayin.....

    Since you have automoblile wheels and tires there is no reason not to have them properly balanced. Road Force is the best

    I recently put em on and they seem to be doing fine. I've been caught in the rain a couple of times and they seem to channel the water pretty good. I run 22 in em when I'm solo and 24 when 2-up w/trailer. As others have stated, force balance is the way to go. I used dyna-beads and originally had a balance issue when I first mounted em. I broke back em down and moved from the yellow dot to the red dot mark at the valve stem, then added another 1/2 oz of beads. All was good from there on out. A force balance would have easily handled that and saved me time and work.
