Worst tire I have ever bought
Like all the reviews, worst tires and very expensive mistake. Don't buy this tires you'll regret it. Less than 18 months or less than 14k miles and they are a piece of crap.

Great sport car tire
This is is supreme and great for performance vehicles. It is costly but it is a very good tire if you have the sport vehicle for it. It also gets good grip on take off
Expensive mistake
These tires are absolute crap. At 100 miles in I started having terrible shaking in the car. Took it to Costco, they rebalanced and said it was fixed. It was so much worse when I got my car back. I took it to another tire shop and they said the foam on the inside was loose so they removed it. I've also had two flat tires with these. Coincidence? Maybe? But the foam issue is absolutely unacceptable, especially for how much these cost. I want a refund but unfortunately it's too late. Not sure I'll ever buy a Michelin tire again. I wish I read reviews before I bought these. Super expensive mistake

Still no response
After posting a review I still have not been contacted. Received email today after two months stating that “records show I have been contacted.” These tires are so bad that Costco wouldn’t even replace with the same tire due to the number of issues they are seeing.
Still Out of Balance, sorry for the confusion, but we need an inspection of the tires from the retailer. Our records indicate we have not yet received this information. Please ask the retailer to contact us while you are there.

Trust the Negative FEEDBACK!!!
Purchased a set of these tires despite the negative reviews as I couldn’t believe that the most awarded tire brand in the U.S. would produce a tire product and it not be great. Anyhow fast forward I dismissed all the warning and made the plunge and can now confirm all the negative comments. This is a very expensive tire which does not live up to its high price or the accolades which Michellin puts out there. This tires ruined my trust in the Brand and I now will never take this kind of risk with my tires again. This tires has made me lose confidence in the Michelin company as this was a very expensive lesson and had to take tires off the car 3 days after installing them. I was offered another replacement set but I couldn’t grapple with the idea that I would support this company by paying and driving on a tire that I just can’t trust. I was open to them replacing with another product but they wouldn’t accommodate. I suppose losing a customer for life was a better choice vs doing the right thing, until they lose enough customers which sometimes is too late. Fortunately there are many other great Tire brands now available…

Foam causes issues with balance
After my first rotation, balance issues began. Took back to Costco and stated my rim was bent, rebalanced 2/4 tires. Returned again and demanded the tire was opened up as it was out of balance the same day. Foam had come loose and was removed. 2 days later foam in other tire causes out of balance. Removed foam from all tires. Now noise is excessive. Please contact me to resolve.
OOB, we're sorry to read of this issue. Our records indicate you have been in contact with our team in getting this resolved.

Good grip, awful howl
These came factory fitted on my Cupra Born. Otherwise a good performance tire, but there is a very irritating cavity noise at around 200hz on anything but the smoothest of road surfaces. I have experienced Pilot Sports previously and understand the comfort sacrifices, but the sound that these tires make is almost unbearable. I have around 2000km on these tires so they might get slightly better but so far they are as loud as when they were new.
born2bewild, sorry you are experiencing noise. A Consumer Care team member will be in touch to discuss further and help with a solution.

Worst tires ever
I would give this tire a 0 if that option was available. These tires came on my 2022 Tesla Model Y. This vehicle is not a year old and had less than 15,000 miles when it started vibrating. Took it to Tesla service center and they stated it was foam separation and provided me with pictures. I have already replaced 2 tires due to this problem. Michelin needs to do something to address this issue. It is a safety and quality issue.
2022 Tesla Model Y, we're sorry to read that you've had a bad experience. Our team is here to get involved. We'll be in touch with you soon.

Buyer beware
Like many others here, I paid $1,800 for a set of these on my Tesla and they were great for the first 1,000 miles. Then, I started picking up massive vibration about 200 miles into a roadtrip, multiple times. Must have been problem with the foam inside the tire - multiple rebalances and tire shop visits could only solve the problem temporarily, vibration always came back.
ATLTesla, we're certainly sorry to read of this problem. One of our team members will be in touch to get more information and work with your local Michelin retailer on a solution.
