Over the years, I've tried most of the prominent high performance tires, and the Michelins have surpassed all. Incidentally, the worst tire I've experienced was the run flats. It didn't take long for me to change them out and sell them. I got $500 for the set which paid a good amount of the Michelin's price.

Nope, I much prefer Goodyears.

Any recommendations?
How are they wearing? Have you checked your alignment recently?

Those aren't particularly sticky tires.

They are wearing very even. Probably the most even I have ever seen!
But i just want a set that will last me 20k or more because this 13k shit ain't cutting out so well.

I love the tires, the grip and the look. Just not the wear.
