Replaced original equipment tirres on our Subaru Outback. These tires were recommended by our service people and I think they gave us good information. They seem to ride smoother and quieter than original tires and if the expected treadwear is as we were informed we will be extremely happy with them. I feel that they are a great tire for the price.

Great Tires

These are the 10th set of Michelin Tires I have owned. Most of the sets were for my trucks and were awesome tires. They are more expensive than regular tires but I definitely believe that you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a little more upfront and get more than 80,000 miles than to repeat buying more sets of tires that don’t last.

Nothing but Michelins

I have been driving Michelin tires exclusively for more than 40 years with nothing but praise for their quality and performance. So it made this choice of tire purchase pretty simple. We now have several thousand miles on this set of tires and they are performing exactly as expected.
