Imppressed

I bought these as a replacement for my Michelin Premier tires that were original equipment on my RX. The OEM tires were out of stock in Michelin or Bridgestone. I searched for weeks before I found these Tour A/S. I was not impressed with the OEM tires. They lasted only 30K not the 60K they advertised. The rolling resistance of these Tour A/S is incredible and I expect they will outperform and out last the the OEM tires on my Lexus.

2016 Mazda 6

Superior tire from original Dunlop’s. Mazda engineers should have spec’d this tire from the start. From road noise, wet/dry stability, comfort, wear, and even light snow this tire is exponentially better in every way the Dunlop wasn’t. Another win for the Michelin team!

Dangerous tires.

Have this on my Genesis GV70 as factory tires with 9500 miles on it now after two years of light driving. Leave in Colorado and recently had two consecutive snow storms. This tires put my life at risk by almost spinning off highway in a light snow covered road. With great effort I managed to keep it from not spining 360 and not hitting the median or running off the cliff. Scarry and dangerous. Decided to park it till spring and drive my old truck. It is a lease so not worth to spend money for half year left. Never had this issues with BFG or Goodyear.

Happycustomer

I bought my first set of Michelins to replace the factory ones on my 1980 Buick Regal and have had Michelins on various cars, suvs and light trucks ever since. I don’t recall ever having problems with any of them through the years. My experience is they run quietly and smoothly,and last longer than other brands I have tried. Definately my favorite tire.

Performs Well as Advertised

These came stock on my '23 ioniq 5 Limited AWD. I feel like they deserve a 4 star rating for a touring tire as they do well in the Nebraska/Colorado area. The noise below 45mph is negligible, but increases significantly at highway speeds. It's common in an EV to have to turn up the radio at higher speeds and these are no exception. To be fair, no tire will save you from the concrete block roads of Nebraska. They performed decently in a snow storm WITH SNOW MODE OFF, and with snow mode on, I had no issues getting through 2-4 inches of snow at ~35mph. Overall pleased with this tire at 5000 miles.

Poor mileage

I purchased these tires July 2019 and now after only 26,518 miles, they need to be replaced due to tread depth be 3/32. Although they are very quiet and have a smooth ride, they should last longer, considering the price. Very disappointed long-time customer.

Hydroplanes a lot.

As soon as it rains this tires are dangerous to drive. I experienced 9 set of tires (from different companies) throughout of my driving life and I have never seen tires this bad. It hydroplanes a lot. Vehicles becomes impossible to handle. Dangerous to drive.

No tread left at 30,000 miles

I purchased a new Kia Sportage in 2022. I recently noticed the tires seem to have no tread, and during my recent oil change service, the dealer stated I needed new tires - AT UNDER 30,000 miles!!! I'm currently at 31,000 and don't feel safe driving them with so little tread. Very disappointed. I will be replacing with Goodyear tires.

Good experience, but worried about using tire sealant

I have about 50k km on my tires so far and they are wearing very well. The foam rubber does make a noticeable reduction in road noise, but it’s not huge. The one thing that concerns me now that I didn’t think about when I bought them is that my PHEV does not have a spare tire. Instead it has a bottle of tire sealant and an air pump to seal the tire sufficiently to get to a tire repair centre. I don’t know what kind of mess this might make with the foam insert and how this might affect patching the tire. I plan to use CAA to get a tow if possible instead of risking injecting the tire with sealant if I get a flat.

Horrible road noise, incredibly firm tire.

Tires supplied from factory on XT6. Test drove vehicle on freshly replaced road/highway and was very quiet and smooth. After driving over a variety of roads the next few days after purchase these tires are extremely LOUD and very hard. Feel and especially HEAR every pit/pebble/ripple in the road. On one stretch of my daily commute these tires cause the body “drumming” endemic to body-on-frame vehicles. Even though both Cadillac and Michelin recommend 38 psi, lowered to 30 psi to check difference. Absolutely no difference. And did I mention they are LOUD/NOISY?? Have run Michelins almost exclusively on all my cars and this set is NOT up to Michelin standards. Will be replacing immediately.
