    Great tire, with 30,000 miles it looks like we still have at least 20,000-30,000 miles remaining. Very quiet tire, smooth rolling, and handles,
    at least for me, nicely.

    Weather, they appear to be OK in rain, no problems as it does
    rain "A LOT" in the Northwest. I don't know about snow as usually
    we only get an inch or two at most and it melts the same day, usually.

    I believe we get 2-3 mpg more with these Michelin's than the
    original tires, Yokohama.

    The only negative side is the price, Michelin do cost more, but in
    my opinion they are worth it.
