Best tire and long lasting.

The durability of the is everything I expected. Grip going around corners have no slip. Stability at high speeds are great. Traction is great on slippery and snowy roads in Michigan. Long last wear is what I wanted in a tire.

Good tires

I like my new tires, but one of them is leaking, belle tire service can't find cause, they sealed but few days since then I still notice less PSI than in other 3 tires.

Can't do better than Michelin tires

These are true all-weather tires. Excellent traction for their first winter driving on ice and snow. If they live up to their expected life--80k miles, they'll be a great value

Good ride. Surprisingly my gas mileage went down 2 miles per gallon from the Michelin Privacy tires I had on from the factory. My vehicle is a 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid.

Maybe I am missing something

Not sure where the outstanding ride quality reviews come from. Placed these on a Kia Telluride and the ride quality is noticeably rougher. The vehicle always appears to sway back and forth and you feel every bump.

New Tires

Cannot comment on wear or durability because the tires are brand new. So far the the grip and traction are great. I will need to give a review later for wet and snow in my area.so far only dry roads.

Long life tires

I had these on my 1998 Grand Marquis, and my 2006 Buick Lucerne, best tires ever. Now I am getting ready to purchase them for my 2023 GMC Acadia. There is not a better tire made in my opinion than Michelan

Better Control and Quieter

With these tires, there is less road noise, the ride is smoother, and it seems that the steering is more precise.

Just what I expected.

Would be nice if you list Puerto Rico in your drop down for registration. Have to use my home state of Idaho.
