Default New tires

Anyone have any suggestions on new tires for a 2019 equinox awd turbo? I recently purchased Firestone all season and now my equinox vibrates, so I would like to replace. Need to stick with Firestone or Bridgestone so I don’t lose any money.

thanks for feedback

If they vibrate, take them back and complain. Maybe they just need to be balanced better. They might be out of round and therefore they should be replaced free of charge.

Already did the balancing but still have the vibration. They said the next thing they would do is check for bad tires and if that isn’t the problem then I would need different tires. So I was looking for some recommendations in case I need to go this route.

thanks

If the tires can't be balanced then it is bad tires or something wrong with the car. If they can't balance the tires to make the vibration go away then they need to give you other tires that can be balanced. I would recommend Goodrich or Michelin but you want to stay with Firestone and Bridgestone.

tires can have radial tire variation...which is a construction fault in the tire sidewall...this can't be balanced out. Its occurs on cheaply made tires. did you buy the cheapest line of firestone tires? if yes...step up to a more expensive tire by firestone. have them show you the next level up.
