Had very bad experience with the last set of michelins. 3 of the 4 failed within the 1st 3 months with bubbles on the sidewalls. still had 9/32 tread and michelin screamed road hazard and would not stand behind them. I have 2 other porsches with hankook v12's on them. never a problem. hold just as well as michelin, wet or dry. Last longer. balance better. and cost half as much. Michelin lost a 40 year loyal customer when I got a bad set and they did not stand behind them. According to the customer service GIRL they assigned to me, any sidewall separation of the sidewall has to be my fault and never a manufacturing defect. I am certain she has probably seen a rire, but doubt that she ever actually touched one. For my money, hankook. Now have them on everything. Best deal I have found is discounttiredirect on the net. Very good prices, great service and quick shipping
