5 out of 5 stars review
Replaced original equipment tirres on our Subaru Outback. These tires were recommended by our service people and I think they gave us good information. They seem to ride smoother and quieter than original tires and if the expected treadwear is as we were informed we will be extremely happy with them. I feel that they are a great tire for the price.

- 5 out of 5 stars review6/23/2026Rides like a dream on EQUINOX V-6 . Tread wear even with rotation . Holds up to unforeseen pot holes. 2nd set wouldn’t run anything else .
2nd set on SUV both in town and hwy. I only run Michelin on all my vehicles . They have proven best ride and performance .

GREAT FOR MI
JEM20Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/19/2026Michelin, the best tire on the market. I have had other brands on cars I have purchased, but once I needed new tires, it was a michelin, hands down!
Wear evenly, and I always get my mileage's worth
