I Loved my Michelins too, but

I have never understood the poor reviews. It is my opinion that Michelin makes the best tires in the industry.

I have very very happy with the MXV4 Plus and would recommend them.
I absolutely LOVED the quiet comfortable ride of my Michelin MXV4 Plus, but I hated the squealing and they were not great in the rain on my rear wheel drive, no traction control, 1995 E320.

Back in the day, I had hand-dipped tires from Holland on my bicycle and they were incredibly supple. You could corner like crazy, even though the tires were as skinny as you can imagine. Ever since, I have had this thing for supple tires and I think the Michelin is the most supple tire you can buy. I didn’t choose the Michelin this time, however, because of the rain performance and the squealing.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
