When I bought my 2019 Expedition MAX XLT it was fitted with Cooper tires with a reasonable amount of tread left. However, when approaching 70 miles per hour a harmonic vibration ramps up over a 6 second period then gradually fade out over the next 6 seconds. Smooth riding for another 6 seconds then the cycle starts all over again.
Given the amount of tread left on the Coopers, I really hated replacing them but being a retired Michelin Engineer, I made the switch to Defenders LTX M/S. Problem gone and car rides like on glass.
Watch for large amounts of weights used to "balance" the tire. Michelin has a process when building the tire to evenly distribute the overlap of each layer of product that is used to build a tire. Each area of overlap creates a little extra rubber (more weight) in that radial location. It shouldn't require a lot of weights to balance a Michelin tire. They also have a method of ensuring tire roundness. Certain types of tire molds are cheaper to build but the tire literally has to be ripped out of those cheap molds after curing which can cause tire deformation. The molds used to make any Michelin tire are more expensive to make but the tire, after curing, is separated from the mold without much stress to the tire and can be easily lifted out of the mold with little effort. After each tire is cured it is checked for roundness, if not round to a specification it is routed to a machine that makes it round and concentric to the bead. I could go on with a number of other details that go into building a Michelin tire that justify its cost.
A side note, a number of methods and processes used to build a Michelin Tire that don't add additional expense have been also applied to building a BF Goodrich tire without the price of a Michelin. That said, the BF Goodrich line will tend to run a little noisier because the tread design is geared towards a different market.
