Post Another Michelin Up Vote

I usually need to replace my Michelin tires due to dry rot before they get seriously worn down and i like to drive quickly if not (IMO) really fast .

I've had a fe that suffered edge wear from mis alignment or my bashing curbs but they grip well (no squealing noises, those come from my occasional passengers) and seem to wear like iron .

Unlike many, I keep a sharp eye on the tire pressures and tend to run slightly higher pressure than the label suggests .

Everyone should try chalking or striping their tires to discern the proper inflation pressure for their particular vehicle , loads and driving habits .

I've never had to reduce cold tire pressures, only raise them up .
