Flint, MI tire purchase

Happy with tires; person helping in Flint, MI Sam's Club tire dept. was rude and unhelpful suggesting I could not utilize paid for roadside tire warranty coverage care without specific credit card being present in future....Hmmm didn't know my paid for tire warranty was only good with a specific credit card being present....had to talk to management then got run around with "claim they(management )didn't work in the tire dept."? Really? Finally, phone calls made up the chain of command and I was verbally assured specific credit card would not have to be present to use paid for tire warranty in future; a big nuisance, unnecessary headache and hassle... not to mention a waste of my time on a tightly scheduled day... hopefully Sam's stands behind their management's word?

This is the second set of Michelin defenders I have bought at Sam's and I am well satisfied with them. I wouldn't buy any other tire.

Extremely Reliable

Excellent tires, always buy Michelin. I do lots of backroad, roadtrips. NH to Rt66, Branson through southern states AR to GrandCanyon, visit family in Oregon and home again via highway. 176,000 miles on my RAV4, hoping for another 125,000 on these same kind new tires!
