alright, I am a Michelin fan, but I didn't get here by accident
8 vehicles I have owned myself, have driven about a hundred with all types of tires, have settled on Michelins because they perform...period. When I go traveling to the Alps (which I do every chance I get if I have the money) almost everyone up in the mountains with work vehicles (small cars and vans) use Michelins...I wondered why, and did some investigating and found out why... This is my other rig, shod with Michelin LTX M/S, on top of my driveway, which is 1 mile from the road and up rock ledges and through 2 ponds, just to park in this spot. These Michelins (3rd set on this 4runner)have never let me down in winter, nor climbing up to the cabin where it is parked here. have used and tried dozens and dozens of other tires brands and types (friends cars, my own, rentals in all conditions...) over the years and Michelin remain the consistent, no-guess, rock solid, long lasting and safe tire of all time. that is my personal experience. I find what suits me and I end up sticking with it after years of seeing other inferior tires, that may have some things better than Michelin, but often the things that matter are worse. Those are: tire wear, and resistance to deformation from potholes and edge-hits. Plus, they grip darn good and resist hydroplaning. Your mileage and experience may vary, but I would rather be comfortable knowing I threw the extra cash for Michelins...they have never disappointed me, whereas other tires disappoint. Again, for my style of driving, which is up tote roads, lots of highway in 4 seasons New England, and running around short steep roads around town. anywho...all top tires are good tires. Michelin spends a lot on research, and the tires perform. I also know a bit about Michelin motorcycle racing tires and the research that goes into the rubber compounds and millions and millions spent on failed rubber formulas to find the right ones...
