Why did I replace them? Simply because I've been a "Michelin man" since 1970 due to the confidence Michelin tires have always given me when driving in all weather conditions.
Wow. I'm sticking with Bridgestones when I replace!

I was thinking about the Michelin Primacy A/S or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV appears to only have warranty of 20K.

I will not replace the tire until the tires are worn down.

H'mm investigation are these primarily 18" or 20" tires ?

On 20" tires with less weight 29.19 versus 35 . same diameter 29.3" Basic physics says you should get better mileage with the Michelin.


Puzzling ?


YMMV,

The run flat is rated better traction?

Don't worry I've had the Run-Flats on my NX since Oct and have no problems. But I'm only speaking for myself.
