I have had 40 years of driving experience with many different tires. The tires have improved over the years, but I have noticed that one tire stands out to me as way over rated and that is the Michelin. Michelins seem to be a pretty good tire with one exception, they fall apart if the air pressure gets low. Michelin will not warrenty any tire that has been run under inflated. No take a look at what i just said. If you are on the road and start to get a flat the normal process is the tire gets low then flat hence you have a tire they want warrenty. I have had much better luck with Goodyear than any other tire.
