Know that in the last 'coupla years Michelin bought UniRoyal and is making
junk tires in the US with the Michelin name on them. Have a client who put
a set on his Volvo and within three years and 20,000 miles the sidewalls
were deeply cracking. Found out about the bait and switch then. Buy only
Michelins with the French country code molded in the tire. Those are the
ones the ledgendary reputation is built upon. They are not the same rubber
as the US wannabees that they charge the same prices for, yeah.
