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!

Excellent!!

I've always heard the expression that you never wanted to skimp on quality tires for your vehicle. What a difference do these tires make!! I've had the cheapo tires on my vehicle for the last 73,000 miles. These are quiet, ride so smooth and give me the confidence to be driving in inclimate weather conditions. You immediately feel the difference in the quality even accelerating from a stop light. I am very happy with my purchase and from the experts, this tire will perform for a good long while.
