Is the premium for Michelin worth it? For wife's medium size suv (aka grocery and kid getter). Used to be exclusive Good Year, but won't because boycotting. I have heard Firestone made a comeback from the bad press years back.

The only tires that go on my car are Continental or Michelin.

I think they are but I drive sporty cars and go for the best handling tires.

So you are not gonna buy a Goodyear tire because you are boycotting them????? First of all Goodyear makes some great tires, second is you are putting your beliefs and children aside because you are mad??????????

Sounds like you should take a course on being a man. You have the data, so buy some fricking tires. a-hole.

Michelin tires are great..

BF Goodrich traction T/As are as well.

You'll do great with either one.

Michelin makes arguably the best tires on the planet.

Michelin's are great but have gotten too expensive.

Korean tires Kumho and Hankook are great tires at a great price.

Michelin is probably the best tire on the market, but unless she's doing some high performance stuff, it's probably not worth the premium price.

I've had a couple of sets of Michelin and they never seemed that special to me. Maybe they rode well, but they sure weren't any more durable than Goodyears or Bridgestones, of the same basic type. (There are some pretty low-budget tires branded as Goodyear.)

I think Michelin’s often ride a bit too hard, but are certainly outstanding tires.

This. I don’t have any recent experience with Michelin but I bought 6 new Firestone Transforce’s last year and had not one but two slipped belts in less than 2000 miles.....Not sure if there was a supplier issue or an issue with that run of tires but I’ll never buy another Firestone again after that shite.

Firestone is a good tire - Firestone/Bridgestone is the same company. Both very good tires. Firestone will get you 70k mileage warranty for their premium tire and Bridgestone 80k.

Lots of companies make good tires.

In other words, his children are not going to die because he puts Michelin's on while not giving Goodyear his money.

You seem to be ruled by emotions and expect others to be as well.
