What Customers Are Saying:
I purchased a set of 4 new, high-performance Michelin tires for my 2004 Acura TX in December, 2009. Given the record-setting snowfalls in the DC area, I was cautious about driving in the snow without a 4WD vehicle. I have to say, I LOVE my tires. They outperformed my expectations. I was able to drive through snow-covered streets and feel safe on my tires. I would recommend them to anyone. They were expensive but well worth it. Thanks, Michelin, for a terrific product!*

July 6, 2009 We just wanted you to know that the HydroEdge tires we bought now have 200,000 miles on them. We need new ones and that's what we're replacing them with. WOW!!! Keep making good tires.*

- Pam Double

March 24, 2009 Just wanted to say how satisfied I am with my purchase of Michelin tires. I bought a set of 4 HydroEdge P225/55R17 tires back in August of 2008. Since then, I have been through rain sleet, and snow and all of the time the tires were great for traction. I also feel safer with the new tires knowing that these tires (with proper care) should last me several years. I look at this as an “investment” rather than just a “cost.” I was also very pleased on the speed of the rebate that was offered when I purchased these tires. You have gained my confidence in a company.

May 10, 2008After buying a new car in 2003, I put on a set of the MICHELIN HydroEdge® tires. After driving over 93,000 miles on them, we replaced them with a new set. I think MICHELINS are the BEST of tires great handling and great ride. Recommend to all.*

- Thomas Lowe

April 23, 2008I purchased the MICHELIN HydroEdge® tires for my 2003 car. If I would have known how well the car would handle with MICHELIN tires...I would have thrown out the tires that originally came with the car! The difference is so amazing that I went to my car dealer and told them to recommend them.*

- Derek Brown

February 2, 2008I bought MICHELIN HydroEdge® tires because of the 90,000-mile warranty. These tires will probably outlast my car. The handling is excellent, even in Florida's frequent thunderstorms. The braking distance is superb, especially in an emergency stop. Just yesterday, I just barely missed hitting a truck that pulled out. The best part is the smooth, quiet ride. Thanks for keeping me safe.*

- Robert Graves

February 1, 2008I have approximately 100,283 mile on my MICHELIN HydroEdge® tires. I still have 1/8" in the front and 1/4" in the rear. I would like to know what Michelin thinks of that. Thank you.*

- C. Anthony Wells

January 7, 2008I just replaced the original tires on my car with MICHELIN HydroEdge® tires. I love 'em. The handling and the ride is fantastic! I don't want to trade my car in for a new one now! Great job! I am going to buy a set for my wife's car.*

3Comparisons based upon fuel efficiency testing between MICHELIN® HydroEdge® tires, Goodyear® Assurance® TripleTred tires, Goodyear® Assurance® ComforTred® tires, and Bridgestone® Turanza® EL400 tires. Fuel savings are estimates based on comparative rolling resistance. Actual on-road savings may vary. Based on comparisons against the leading competitors in the standard S/T-rated all-season category.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.

>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.

DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

T-Speed Rated Sizes:

Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118

Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0

Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

Performance Ratings:
Performance Ratings are calculated by Michelin on a scale of 1 to 10 and are reflective of the various tire lines' strengths within the overall Michelin portfolio.
