anyone having problems with michelin?

No and frankly, if 3 out of 4 of the last set you purcahsed went bad within 3 months, why did you buy another set? Which Michelins do you have? I have 255/40 ZR 17 Michelin Pilot Sport + on the rear, have put 12,000 miles on them and have had no problems and minimal signs of wear.

Find a good shop for your next set to replace your tires with a warranty. My shop that just did mine gives a lifetime warranty. If the tire blows out or goes bad and they cant fix it REGARDLESS OF MAKER, they replace at their cost. I dont buy the high end stuff as I think - these arent gt3 cars, they are boxsters - so something with good tread life that looks good is what I want. Hankooks on my last boxster were fantastic. The shop I went to looked up the size and made some calls on the new boxster and Hankook stopped making that size. they told me they could get 4 right now but if I had a blow out there is no guarantee they could find a replacement that would match so I went with Toyo and so far they are great. Did 105 on the hwy this past weekend and no issues what so ever.

A good shop with a shop warranty is the way to go...IMO

It's insurance. You pay extra for that, whether you know it or not.

I'm good with that...insurance is peace of mind.

I can't disagree. I always buy the road hazard. It's paid off about 50% of the time I've bought it. I even got a replacement due to vandalism once because I was a repeat customer. Nice thing is, there is no need to go to the manufacturer for any type of warranty claim. It's all handled internally.

Already had bought this set when the last group went bad. They are pilot sport 2's, Going to hankook on everything. Never had a problem with them

Dump the european manufacturer thats Porsche approved, invented the radial tire, & been in business over 100 years. Go with a Korean company that's been selling tires in the US for 8 years, because something punctured your tire & you drove on it till it deflated enough to tear it apart. Makes sense to me.

I love my Hankook Ventus V-12"s. IMHO...Best Bang for the Buck!
