Very smooth, quiet and hold on the road very well.
Great tires.
I bought these in November 2022. These are excellent tires. Quiet, smooth and priced right. Great in the snow and wet roads. Quiet on the dry roads.
The ride on these are very comfortable. I really don’t have anything bad to say.
High mileage tires
Bought 4 in spring 2019.got 151000 km.replcing next week. Vehicle came with them replaced once now replacing again. My gmc terrain has 319000 km on it. I purchased new
Good tire but can get a flat easily.
Two flats with two brand-new Michelin tires in just one year! Each time I was forced to buy a new tire because they said the nail was too close to the side. Today the tire will cost me $300.00 and yet the old one had very little use. This is the last Michelin I will buy.
Tony, we're sorry to read that you have experienced two nail punctures. Some retailers offer road hazard coverage, basically a policy to cover tires damaged beyond repair. Check your purchase receipt to see if you have this coverage. Meanwhile, one of our team members will be in touch to discuss further.

Great tires and so quiet l!
Bought these just before a road-trip because my old tires were very noisy and rode very rough. The new tires made a huge difference. Noticeably different ride and noise level. Highly recommend.
Not so good.
I thought this tire would be great for getting fewer flats, going through snow and giving a smooth ride. No it was not. Slow leak in one tire I nursed for a while then replaced, just ok in snow and the noise from these tires was terrible. They made thumping noise when they went over bumps, cracks, etc.

Great traction
I drove over three thousand miles through snow and rain and had great traction and had confidence in the tires
Awesome quiet ride. Excellent handling.
This is the third set of these tires I have purchased. Two sets on my previous Outback and this set for my most recent Outback. Extremely satisfied with the quiet ride and wet/dry performance. Highly recommend!
Took to dealer, Galaxy Toyota in Eatontown, NJ
Tires came stock on 2022 Toyota Highlander July 2022. Had to replace all 4 tires because side wall steal belts were compromised/bad causing tire to bubble on the side.
R, I see that you have been in touch with our team to get this resolved. Let us know if we can assist further.
