66,000 miles and going!

These tires came OEM on my 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid XSE. I have driven from Atlanta to Dallas to Pittsburgh and everywhere in between on these tires putting more than 30,000 mi a year on them. I've rotated them every 5,000 mi and balanced them every 10,000 mi with an alignment at 30,000 mi. The traction, ride and longevity have been exceptional! At my 65,000 mi service the Toyota dealership said the tread is now down to 5/32 and I'll need to get a new set when I come in for the $70,000 mi service. Definitely getting a Michelin tire for round two.

EVEN GREAT BRANDS HAVE A CRAPPY MODEL. MEET MICH'S...

These were the OEM tires to my 2020 Ford Explorer Limited. Michelin is a brand that one time had my ultimate confidence and trust. If my vehicle had Michelin tires, I was not concerned. This is no longer the case. At 40,000 miles, I grew very concerned about the tread life left on the tires. While the tire LOOKED shiny-new from a distance, upon close review, I have seen some SCARY things. One tire even seems to have tiny pinholes in the sidewall, like someone took a stamp and pressed into the side of the tire. They just don't appear to hold up over time and it made for an extremely tense trip on the road this past weekend. In 110-degree temps, with tire remnants on the sides of the road as a perpetual reminder to you of blowouts that have recently occurred, this was the most unnerved my tires have ever made me while on a trip and I have BEEN through multiple blowouts, but that was with cheap tires on bad cars. This time, I was literally thinking, "is this the trip where I die because I didn't buy new tires???" Ugh! Anyway, I thought it was me, until I realized that so many have experienced this as a crappy model tire in an otherwise highly rated brand. Michelin has a long way to go to earn back my confidence after subjecting me to the "Cadillac Cimarron" of their tires.

These worked well for me on a Rav4 Hybrid!

Bought these to replace the OEM Dunlop tires that were showing cord at 30k miles. The Michelins are a LOT quieter and ride nicer. The only down side and why only 4 stars was the MPGs took a near 10% hit as I now am only seeing 40-41 MPG. These tires are sure footed in rain and the limited ice / snow I've driven them in with the hybrid's AWD drivetrain. i have over 55k on them so they went the distance. While they are due for replacement, I wouldn't think twice about a cross country road trip with them as they are! The only reason I'm considering something else is I miss 44+ MPG and my 2nd Rav4 Hybrid ('23 XSE) does this regularly.

Poor tread life for wet and snow traction

These were the OE tires on my 2022 Explorer. By 25,000 miles the light snow and wet traction was bad. The dry traction and tire noise were decent. I replaced them at 37,000 miles with a different brand since the hydroplaning in wet weather was getting worse. I have the same tires on a Bronco Sport and expect the same problems.

No good for EV cars, only last 10K miles

Didn't last more than 10K. I called Michelin and they didn't want to arrange anything because the tire came with the car when I purchased it new. That the only way they can proceed with the warranty is if I purchased the tires. When I did my research this tires are not intended for EV cars so I moved out and purchased a whole new set of tire with other company that have a dedicated tire for EV cars. I already expended a lot of money in this tires and a towing company because I was afraid to drive my car with a heavy vibration.

Blowouts!!!!

I’ve had my 2023 Prius xle with Michelin 195 50R19 tires for 2 years. I’ve had 3 blowouts (never had one with any other tire). Each time it took weeks if not months to get a replacement tire because they are always back ordered. I am thinking of getting rid of the car.

Terrible in dry and wet conditions

Rented a car in Miami this week (Ford Escape). Tires were new as the car only had 50 miles on it. I noticed through the week that non-aggressive accelerating grip was minimal and turning/braking grip in wet condition grip was also minimal. Tires are so bad I got out of car specifically to look at the make and model, and was surprised they are Michelin’s. I have significant experience evaluating tire grip and performance as a semi-professional endurance race car driver. These tires are unsafe for average drivers in moderate street use. I will go out of my way to tell friends and family to not purchase this make and model tire… They were that bad.

Tread life is terrible. Buy something else

OE on my 2020 Hyundai Sonata. Decent ride and fairly quiet. I had a dealer contract for free service, so they were always kept at proper pressure and rotated regularly. At 30k miles and two years old all four are worn completely out to the point of being unusable. Hyundai says go to Michelin for warranty. Michelin dealers, I talked to several, say treat warranty doesn't apply to OE tires, but supposedly they are the same as the ones for sale of the shelf at the dealer that ARE covered by the warranty. I'll be replacing them with some non-Michelin tires and won't buy Michelin products anymore.

Bad Quality Tires

I go these tires with my New RAV 4 SE, Such bad quality tires. OnE of the front Tires is Flat within 2 Months and cannot be repaired due to some foam lining inside the tire. I will never suggest these tires to anyone. Now I have three of these new tires and I am stuck buying a new one to match the remaining three.
