Secret foam makes tires unrepairable

OEM for my Ioniq5, had the bad luck to get a puncture within 3 months of buying the car. Turns out there is foam inside to dampen tire noise which makes the tire unable to be patched as removing the foam in the punctured area somehow affects the structural integrity of the tire. Dealer insists the foam makes the tire "run flat" but I haven't found any indication of this in Michelin or other literature. Incresibly frustrating that tire shops (which I found via the Michelin website), car dealership, and Michelin all seem to have contradictory information about these tires and that they would create a tire which is non repairable for a very expensive car

LS, we are sorry you are receiving conflicting information. MICHELIN® Acoustic Technology effectively reduces vibrations caused by the road resulting in a significant reduction of interior noise by approximately 20%*. A custom designed polyurethane foam solution muffles noise resonance. Punctures may be repaired in accordance with our Repair Procedure Bulletin depending on the size and location of the damage. One of our team members will be in touch to discuss further.

Average

For everyone complaining about these tires on EVs give your head a shake. A Ford lightning weighs nearly as much as a 1 ton diesel and these are passenger rated tires. Even a Nissan leaf is significantly heavier than an ICE vehicle of the same class. They are average tires.

Good performace at a reasonalbe price

Have been on these tires for the last year so I've driven all four season on them. Our season on the west coast are mild so just a little snow but lots of rain. Tires are great. Snow performance is not that important to me but on the AWD cx5 there are no issues in snow. Ice is ice, I drive slowly and no issues. Now, rain performance is great. Lots of grip and road feel. Summer, no issues at all of course. Road noise. How do you rate this. I mean, there is road noise but they are much better than the stock tires. There is always going to be noise but these, IMHO are just fine. Hope they last 5 years and 80K + kms!!!

Hazardous for winter driving

These tires came with our 2019 Rav4 XSE and performed well on dry and wet roads. That all changed when winter set in; breaking distance on snow packed roads was terrible and down right dangerous. I talked to the dealer about changing tires and they said they couldn't do that. I have ordered a new set of tires from a different manufacturer, ones we have been using for years, to mitigate this problem. I have had Michelin tires in the past and have never experienced anything like this before. These are not all season tires.

Long Lasting

We purchased our Toyota Rav 4 in 2020. These are the orignal tires - We have driven the car to Florida 4 times, Tennessee twice, Philadelphia, and many times to Ohio. Have over 84,000 miles on them. The best tires I have had on the snow and wet roads. Looking to replace with the same ones.

Don't buy

Nothing but problems since day 1..premature wear ..had coverage thru the dealership and during that 5 years I've replaced way to many tires.even had to pay out of pocket for a coupleof them duringthat time(maybe by fault of dealer but definitely a bad product) .since that expired I've had to replace a couple more...Michigan roads aren't great but I baby my car and these tires do not last..in over 6 years less than 60kmiles I've replaced 8 tires I'm sure ..2 sets in the time 1 is supposed to last right?not counting the ones that were on it so 3sets..way to expensive to be such a poorly made product..I'm switching brands & will never buy these again

Terrible on grooved roads

Rain groove wander is such a problem I have to avoid certain roads, it feels like I'm going to lose control of the vehicle. This is due to the grooves in the tires locking into the grooves on the road, which is absolutely terrifying at high speeds as these grooves are not perfectly straight and cause each tire to wobble the car wildly in different directions. Previous tires, came stock with vehicle in 2021, did not have these issues. I should not have opted to purchase the pricier version advertised by Tesla's app, which advertised up to 20 mile per charge range improvement.

Never buy.

I bought a new explorer these tires were on it. Look like they would be good tires, didn't put much thought into it at the time. Now, 21,850 thousand miles later, we're down to 6/32 tread remaining.. We live in a snow and ice state. Tires here are not recommended.Once you hit 4/32 tread. So it looks like we're buying new tires for winter. I've never had a tire where this quick in my 44 years of driving. I will never buy this tire again, and possibly not a michelin either. And I would recommend other people staying clear from them. Tires are too expensive to wear out this quick. And on top of that, with all of our pollution in our world, it doesn't make sense.

Great tire in all different conditions s

These tires came new on our 2024 Kia Sportage PHEV. They have performed extremely well in the inters in Utah and warm temperatures in Florida. They are very quiet and provide a smooth ride with excellent traction. We have over 11000 miles on them and they show little wear. We could not be happier.

MICHELIN® Acoustic Technology may be faulty

A section of the MICHELIN® Acoustic Technology came loose. Caused tires to be severely unbalanced at 50 to 60 mph. Hyundai dealership says they may or may not take responsibility but they have to see the tires in person. Unfortunately, that means 150 mile trip to the closest dealership, even though the local Michelin dealer first identified the problem. Problem started about 16k miles and caused me to pay balancing fees twice.

joeferal, we're sorry to read of this issue. It is not necessary to travel back to the Hyundai dealership if an authorized Michelin retailer is aware of the problem. A member of our team will be calling you to work with the local Michelin retailer on initiating a warranty claim.
