When my 07 had 17,000 miles OEM Contis were schredded (slipped belts).....out of alignment from factory + vigorous driving. Emergency replacement of fronts with Cooper Zeon A/S tires.+ free alignment by Chrysler under warranty......after 24,000 more miles..(LOUD....VERY) + tiny steering wheel vibration.

Changed steering stabilizer & had all 4 tires rebalanced.....no improvement.

Bought 2 Achilles ATR A/S W AA A utog 400 (a couple of months ago) from Tireseasy.com for $66 each + shipping.....(they now list them for $93 + shipping)....installed them today for $63.....

Total cost for 2 Tires + shipping + installation at NTB = $228 ($114 each)

All noise & vibration GONE!!!!!!!

The Coopers still had 4-5 32nds left & wore evenly across.....but minor intermittent cupping on outer treads.....you think it needs to be aligned again ? Found some reviews today of the Zeons on line & others reported cupping also.....

Initial impression of the $66 Achilles ATRs is .....nice....(story may change in the next year of course).
