I called the local Michelin Advantage dealer that was listed on the site. The guy was knowledgeable but unable to change out the studs. Ironically, he said the 315's are now back ordered. If true, the blows a whole in the idea that 315's are easily available and 365's are tough to get.
He had a concern that the hub may need to be changed in addition to the studs because with bud style the weight resides on the studs, whereas with hub centric the weight resides on the hub. He did not think the ears on my hub (from pictures) would strong enough or exact enough to properly change from bud to hub. It seems like many have done this and Newell endorses, so I am thinking I need to find an experienced dealer.
Any suggestions for a dealer that can sell the Michelin advantage, change the studs, and mount balance etc. In the southeast. I could go to OK, AR, TN, MS, LA, AL, or FL?
Thanks
Mike
