with one of them having a tread separation on I95 in Florida with my poor wife driving. That was at ~59K miles. I don't like Michelins any more. They seem to have a LOT of tread separations. I have seen 5 tires on vanagons with goiters..People give me old 14" wheels with tires and some have been sets of Michelins...plenty of tread but bulges in the tires. The "new" 97 Safari AWD came with two sets of Michelins...one set has two tires with separations the other set only has one separation...That means I have to toss out 8 expensive tires with good tread left and that sucks. |
