Quality/Premium
While Michelin Tires are generally considered to be high-quality tires with many positive attributes, there are some potential drawbacks that should be considered before purchasing them.
Cost: Michelin Tires are often more expensive than some other tire brands, which may make them less accessible for people on a tight budget. However, many people feel that the added cost is justified by the high quality of the tires and their long lifespan.
Tread Life: Some Michelin Tires may have a shorter tread life than other tire brands, particularly in certain models designed for high performance or high-speed driving. The softer rubber used for traction and smooth ride characteristics results in reduced milage and life. This results in the need to replace tires more frequently.
Noise: Some drivers have reported that Michelin Tires can be noisy, particularly when driving on certain types of pavements or at high speeds. This can be an annoyance for some drivers, although it is not a significant issue reported by most.
Limited selection: While Michelin Tires offer a range of products for different types of vehicles and driving conditions, their selection is more limited than some other tire brands. This means that there may be fewer options available for certain vehicles or driving needs.
