Gen6 Camry LE 07 Bad Michelin tires??

Has anyone experienced their steering wheel shake at 70 mph and up?

After multiple diagnosis attempts, it was discovered that my car has bad tires, apparently there is a manufacturing defect on the Michelin MXv4 S8 tires that were on my car and Michelin is replacing all 4 for free.

Just wondering if there have been more cases reported on this issue. I bought my car in Feb 2007.

My 07 XLE V6 had the same issue, and my dealer just simply replaced with higher grade tires Michelin MVX4 plus under warranty. The ride is smooth and quiter than the old tires. I like the new tires.
