Poor Quality and Warranty Service
Make sure your tire looks correct before purchasing it. Mine is molded off-center, causing an odd vibration since the cross section of the tire is unbalanced, and Michelin won't warranty the tire unless they can talk to a "professional" who can feel the vibration it is causing. I have spent $400 at two repair shops and had the tire balanced 6 times to be told there's no vibration they noticed. Finally just had to buy another tire (no vibration now).

Fell apart after 4,000 miles
I must have gotten a bad one. I use these to commute to work (18mi round trip) and they’ve really fallen apart after about 4,000 miles.
