FWIW, I do not believe Michelins are better than any other brand. Sure, some specific models are great, and they seem to work more closely with manufacturers to develop treads and compounds for specific vehicles. But they also make some absolute crap for the mainstream.
Alan Smithee, did you notice slight noise from your tires, sounds like the tread is a bit noisy maybe, but yes the tires are great. Got them on Saturday and a huge step up from the Bridgestone RFT so far.
