michelin tires

When it comes to tires you usually do get what you pay for - but not always.

I have driven almost every tire available in the American market, man of them back to back. In my experience Michelin makes a great tire but their tires tend to be a bit overpriced for what you get. They are very proud of their name and make you pay for it. Certainly there are some competitors that offer as much, or even more tire for less money in certain categories. But it depends on which size you need, what your requirements are and what specific tires you are considering to give you a specific recommendation.

what kind of truck, and are you still having frontend problems? I can recommend 2 excellent frontend guys if you are ever around memphis tn. 1 is at truck pro, 1 is at steepleton tire.

 

I love this post...........here's my beef with Michelin. They love their National Account customers and gouge the everyday working man on the street. I have a friend that owns enough trucks to have an account, but I refuse to use him to purchase a Michelin tire. His discount can be as high as 30% on the same tire I can buy at a Michelin Tire Center as a walk in customer.

 

Expensive tires but low rolling resistance. Really comes down to driver preference.

 

Any word on the date codes? Had a trailer come in with "new" 17.5s they'd just installed, couldn't figure out why a couple of 'em had blown out. Hint: three digit date code. Seems they'd been sitting in a shed since 1997. Fortunately we had a few in stock, the other tires exhibited pretty severe dry rot and were replaced as a preventative measure.
