Default Michelin Tires

Hi Everyone, I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season Run Flats last week. I haven't put a lot on miles on them yet but one thing I have notices is a much quieter ride. Another positive is their 3 year flat tire change assistance program. I bet most of you already new this but for those like me that didn't, I have provided a link to their website with all the details. As with other tire vendors, Michelin has (had) a $70.00 rebate on a purchase. I see however that NTB currently has a buy three get on free offer. This definitely would be a better deal if it is valid for run flats.

Have a nice weekend everyone !

I have Michelins on the Vette as well as our daily drivers - - a bit more dough but worth it IMO.

Night and day difference when I fitted my Pilot Super Sports from the Toyo's that were fitted when I purchased my C5.
Yes they cost more, but for me, is definitely worth it.

Michelin does make some good tires - and having a rebate on them is very nice.

As always, I bought my new set of A/S Plus ZPs 24 hours before they offered the Rebate.

I tried the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S ZPs but found them too hard a ride, and too noisy. I switched immediately to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S non-run-flats.......much smoother, much quieter.

Thanks Red !!...it's like driving on concrete tires with these runflats...$856.00 from Tire Rack with a $70.00 Michelin rebate...can't beat that...although a 4 wheel alignment will set me back $100.00 dollars !!
