    I really liked my Michelin XZA3's they were a good tire.

    The Centramatics work very well... I have those balancing beads in my steers because I was tapped out when I bought my last set of steer tires or I would have purchased the Centramatics.

    BTW... what do Centramatics cost at a truckstop or tire store these days? I ask because my last carrier sold 'em out the door for $135.00/pair installed.... seems that was pretty cheap.

    I had a XZA-2 get lumpy on my last truck. Michelin replaced it with a XZA-3 and I bought the other side (they gave me a pro-rated refund on the old tire). They were great. Love those tires. I will only put Michelins on from now on.

    Was leaning towards a pair of XZA-3s with centramatics, but we'll see what the tire shop says today. Thanks everyone, sure appreciate the input!

    Good deal!! Glad you got it fixed.

    My tire shop says to rotate the tires side to side to even out the tire wear. The "direction" arrow will be going the wrong way but they said it isn't a big deal.
