"Couldn't believe how much less tire road noise and a softer, smoother ride. Tires look good and feel good. I certainly feel safer on the road. I had to stop quickly to avoid someone cutting into my lane, and I felt the tires grip the road. I also had an alignment when I got the new tires, and I could feel how much that helped in handling the car." - Venice, FL

Michelin are what I have always used with family haulers. Over the years I have found they are simply the best tire overall. You may pay a little more now but they will actually last much longer, perform better, and save you more money over time because they really are a superior product.

Love these tires! They are so quiet and smooth, I don't even realize how fast I'm driving. Yikes! I'm adjusting, but it's a good adjustment to have to make. I'm using cruise control a lot more so I can avoid a speeding violation.

Very smooth ride with these tires. Great traction and braking. My steering seemed improved after these new tires were installed.
