Sidewall's are not heavy enough, car shakes if you accelerate to fast from a start.

We’re sorry to hear about the shaking you’re experiencing during acceleration. This type of concern can sometimes be related to factors such as tire balance, installation or alignment rather than the tire itself. We recommend visiting an authorized dealer to have the tires and vehicle inspected so they can help identify the cause and ensure everything is set up properly. If you'd like to discuss further, feel free to call the Michelin Consumer Care team 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Great Tires with a Bonus Rebate.

Tires have been rotated and rebalanced 1x at Discount Tire and all are wearing evenly.

So disappointed!

I purchased a set of these tires a month ago. They do not ride smooth and they are noisy. They sound like I am driving a pick up truck with off road tires.

No buyer's remorse

Purchased three weeks ago. They ride Smooth and quietly. Gas mileage is the same. Did not worsen. Wet braking, dry braking both good but good brakes and driving at reasonable speeds in a rain storm has more to with braking than new tires.

Loud

I bought in April. They are advertised as quiet but we're as loud as my winter tires. I suffered all summer thinking they may get better but did not. I will rate them in next spring and hope Michelin will help.
