Michelin tires are truly fantastic tires. I won't buy anything else now a days. Not just for their ride and grip... but in the rain and at the end of the tire's Life... they ride/drive just like when new. No other tire I have run can do that.
PS: You should replace your tires when they are older than five years old. Look at the(four digit week/year) tire build date on the sidewall. Even IF the tire has thread... replace after five years old.
