The last couple of sets I had... they had to be rebalanced a lot more than normal, and the tread life wasn't real high.
But part of that might be my driving style.
I drive mine fairly aggressively... probably more so than most Cadillac drivers.
But for looks... I think they are the best looking tire on the market.
I always found the Michelins to wear like steal.
I agree about Michelins wearing good.
No telling how many sets of them I have used, down thru the years.
My car uses the 18 inch, low profile, 50 series tires.
When I needed new ones last year, the only Michelins in my size that were high speed rated were the PILOT. The reviews on them said they were really noisy, and that was one of the things I was trying to get away from.
The factory Bridgestones were noisy and rode very rough.
I ended up going with Yokohama Advan S4...
The reviews on them were good and they were "V" speed rated.
I have over 15,000 miles on them and am happy with them... so far...
I have 18s on my 07 Impala. I think that I am running 245/45/18 Z rated Falkan tires.They don't wear good at all. I have maybe 12,000 miles on them and the two that were on front have maybe 1/4 of the tread left. No, I don't burn my tires. I rotated them to the back and am hoping to get another 10k out of these but am certainly not impressed.
