Great tires

These tires are awesome! I upgraded to these from my factory installed tires. I can't believe the difference in ride quality and handling.

Defender 2

The ride is so smooth. Michelin tires are worth every penny spent. I will never buy another brand. Michelin tires are the champagne of tires.

Even improves fuel economy

Highest performance and best ride I have ever had from a Lt truck tire. Improves fuel economy by over one mpg as well.

poor workmanship, I think the tires should have been rejects

Not as good a tire as previous tires, required more weights for balancing. Ride not as smooth not real happy with this set of tires

Excellent tires

We bought these tires this spring and they have been great. They replaced the factory installed tires on our CRV and are a significant improvement.

They are very loud

I don't know if it's because they are new, or if it's the vehicle, but the tire noise inside the car is dramatic.

2of6, sorry to read there is a noise problem. Please ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure on the inside of the driver's door. As a last resort, part of the Michelin Promise Plan includes a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Simply return to the selling retailer for the tires to be swapped out.

Quality tires!

I prefer Michelin tires. These new tires are durable, have an excellent warranty and provide a quiet ride.
