Verified Purchase

Auburn Hills, Michigan Tire Center

Good Evening, Please give Shamara and Sencere a raise! I am elderly and a bit on the illiterate side when it comes to cars. I purchased 4 Michelin Defender 2 Tires for my 2019 Buick Encore per my son’s instructions. Once I recovered from sticker shock, I realized it was the best decision. Shamara went out of her way on December 11th to help me order the correct tires. She was kind, respectful and extremely knowledgeable. It meant a lot to me to have someone treat me so well. Today, December 17th, was installation day. Sencere greeted me, I asked if he could also install new wiper blades. He even helped me purchase the right ones! Sencere installed my new tires and the driver’s wiper blade. Passenger blade is a bit of a conundrum. No fault of Sencere’s. Shamara refunded the passenger blade and offered information as to where I might be able to purchase the size needed. Shamara and Sencere are why I will go back to Sam’s Club on Joslyn in Auburn Hills whenever I have tire issues. I will tell all of my friends how nice and respectful and knowledgeable they are. Please give them another hug from me. It means a lot to have such terrific service. Thank you. Regards, Katie G

So far so good

I feel pretty good driving with these tires. So far theyve done well in rain and freezing wet pavement. I got these as all season tires and I think they are working out. Good grip, good warranty. Sam's had a great deal with $70 off a set and free installation. Love Sams

Excellent tire, but quite pricey

Great tire for my Subaru Outback. Performance is as expected. Good traction and braking. Cornering is adequate, but I haven't really pushed it anywhere close to the limit. It is not as quiet as I expected, but I guss that is the price I pay for treadlife.
