Traction and noise. Round shape is not sufficient. I've bought two or three cars that came with Michelin tires, which looked great but wouldn't hold the road. Bad experiences can improve wisdom, which leads to good judgement. In my case that process can take years...
I know how my wife drives; I need good tires! In my estimation, Michelin tires are expensive for what you get. I would probably be suspicious of their traction once they had more than a few years on them, so I'd rather pay less for a tire that has the same or better traction verified by testing (TireRack.com), but then again the tested tire size is rarely the same as any of my cars, YMMV, TANSTAAFL, void where prohibited by law, etc etc etc. -Max On July 27, 2015 10:06:04 AM EDT, "Kaleb C.
