My Ridgeline came with Destination LE2's. I kept them rotated and they lasted for 60K of totally unremarkable, even-wearing driving. I had planned to replace them with LE3's but changed my mind at the last minute.
Take a pass on the Traverse and Acadia. Test drove a 60K Acadia Denali that was very nice until you pushed the go pedal. Then it sounded like an old S10 pickup engine.
This was the original problem. You would go in there during the evening for a few things small but critical like a bottle of contact solution and baby formula and out of 20 registers they would have 2 open. You would get stuck behind 6-8 people in the 20 count line or the once a month shoppers...

2. When the clutch rotated the reel without the rope being pulled on, it spit the rope out through the space between the reel and housing and then rewrapped the rope around reel...
If the mower has been left out in the rain for an extended period of time water will seep in around the seal on the top of the clutch and gunk up the oil inside the clutch and possibly rust the end of the crankshaft inside the clutch. I would at a minimum remove the clutch and clean and reoil...
