I did not. They worked from the get go.

Michelin Premier A/S - 245/45R18
The Michelin Premier A/S is a luxury performance touring tire. They offer reduced hydroplaning and shorter braking ability. The Premier A/S is designed to provide the driver with improved traction and exceptional grip in most driving conditions, including light snow. They have excellent wear life and good fuel efficiency. The Michelin 245/45R18 Premier A/S has a diameter of 26.6" and a total width of 9.6", with 780 revolutions per mile. Premier A/S 245/45R18 tires weigh 26 lbs., have a max load of 1764 lbs. and a speed rating of 149 mph (100V), and have a tread width of 7” and a tread depth of 8.5/32", and should be used with a rim width of 7.5 - 9". The UTQG rating is 640AA. The Premier A/S comes with a 60,000 mile, 6 Year limited warranty.


Speedometer Error = Actual speed is 65.87 mph at 65 mph
I was looking to get these but since the size is different than the placard on the drivers door I did not want to risk a Pennsylvania Inspection shop failing the car (since it is reason to fail) and working me over for more money.
