## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality is everything with Michelin
*by E***D on December 27, 2025*

Very good tire

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Michelin tires.
*by T***E on December 8, 2025*

Michelin tires are the best made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tires
*by D***A on July 23, 2025*

If you want a very quiet, comfortable ride, great performance and not break the bank, this is the tire for you. I have these tires on my 2016 equinox and my 2017 Santa Fe, and I can definitely tell the difference from the stock tires. Great breaking on wet or dry roads, great handling on turns/curves and comfortable going on bumpy roads and even potholes. Will buy again if they are still being made.
