Re: If I could, i'd return my 2008 ridgeline

Just chiming in with another observation. I had terrible balance & pulling issues with two sets of OEM replacement tires on my last GMC. Those were Goodyears, but I think the moral applies to Michelin as well. It seems that when WalMart & other mass outlets began selling tires, the big name manufacturers just stepped back on their QA at the factory. It is easier to reduce costs that way & just replace the ones that are defective.

The factory compensates with wheel weights to bring the near-defect tires into spec.

Look at the balance weights on your wheels. If you have more than about one one-inch weight on any corner, you need to have the dealership check them individually without weights to see if they meet specs.
