Michelins

Just changed my factory Bridgestone RF with Michelin RF's. What a difference! It's like driving a different car. Quiet, smooth, corners beautifully. I'm sorry they don't include these at the factory, I've missed 3 years without them!!

Wanted to share in case anyone is changing.

thanks
James

Diamaris, I assume?

You have to compare new to new.

My bet is those Bridgestones were not as horrific 3 years ago as they came to be over time...

Still, I have 6 vehicles and all 6 have Michelins, including the trailer! (But not the tractors...)

My 2012 came with the Michelins. Yes they are better than the Bridgestones, but still not close to a good non-run flat.

I'm shocked you got three years out of the Bridgestones! They usually start getting really noisy around 15K for me.

You must be talking about the 19s because Michelin doesn't make a run-flat in the 20s.

Which size wheels do you have? Hoping my 2012 comes with Michelins, but I'm not holding my breath.
