For what its worth here is my $.02. I have had Michelin tires on every truck I've owned. One truck came from the factory with Continental....JUNK! I wouldn't put them on a go cart. Quickly changed to Michelin and rode them (with regular rotation every 10,000 miles) to 123,000. Had Firestone on the next truck and those were not too bad bud a bit noisy and seemed like soft rubber to me. Those eventually got changed to Michelin as well. Current truck had Good Year on it. Big oversized tires that hummed badly....you got it, changed them over to Michelin too. The current tires are 20" therefore they cost a small fortune but worth every cent in my mind.

Curious what model Michelin's and if they were quiet and a good ride on the highway, which is my main concern. |

I got mine at Sullivan Tire in Newport for my 2004 F-150, last fall and I love them. Total cost was around $760 or so because I found a $60 rebate for them (honestly the reason I got them at first) They are good all season tires that run very quiet and are great highway tires (I commute from S. Kingstown to Newport daily). With a 7 rating in snow, they may not be best for pushing a plow, but last winter they performed perfectly for me.

Thanks, that's the exact tire the online chat person at Michelin recommended. |

My F150 had Hankooks on it when I got it. I'm in no way knowledgeable about tires, but I thought it gave a smooth ride and got over 65,000 miles when Ford gave me an estimate to replace them with the same tire. Their estimate seemed high but they said if you found the same tire for cheaper they'd beat the price. Found them on sale at Walmart for $65 per tire cheaper. Ford generously beat the price by $1 and waived the install fees when I told them Walmart installed for free.
