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.

TommyTireOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/19/2026Great tire for traction, handling and quiet compared to the OEM tires. The OEM tires were replaced @ 14,000 miles and were more than 50% worn.
