Best Michelin Tyres

This is my second review on these tyres, because after trading my previous car (a Mitsubishi Lancer retro-fitted with the Michelin tyres), I bought a… Read more

2020 Honda CR-V AWD, which coincidentally came from the factory as OEM with the same type of Michelin tyres fitted (to all five wheels), albeit a larger size than the Lancer's.

After 22,000 plus kilometres on these tyres, I am still impressed with them, with great riding qualities enhancing the Honda's already smooth ride, good grip in both wet and dry conditions, and also great grip under heavy braking. This car is used for long highway trips, as well as some shorter runs around the city and suburbs, and the tyres instil great confidence in the safety and handling of the car on the road.

Noise levels are a little higher than I would expect, especially considering the improvement they made to the Lancer's interior noise levels, so I would knock maybe half a star of my rating for that. They are not showing much wear at this stage of their lives, so I can't report on the tyres' longevity.

Overall, I still highly recommend these Michelin tyres, although I believe they have been superseded by a newer "model" now, so may no longer be available.

I have been using the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires for a while now, and they have genuinely exceeded my expectations. From the first drive, I noticed… Read more

a significant improvement in grip and steering response. The car felt more planted on the road, especially when taking corners at higher speeds. The steering became more precise, giving me greater confidence behind the wheel.

One of the biggest strengths of these tires is their performance in wet conditions. Driving in heavy rain used to make me a bit cautious, but the Pilot Sport 4 handles standing water and slippery roads remarkably well. The traction is impressive, and the tires provide a reassuring sense of control even during sudden braking or quick lane changes.

Comfort was another pleasant surprise. Despite being performance-oriented tires, they absorb road imperfections reasonably well and do not produce excessive road noise. Long highway trips remain comfortable, and the ride quality feels refined for a sporty tire.

The tread wear has also been respectable. After many miles of driving, the tires still perform consistently and show even wear patterns. Although they are not inexpensive, the quality and performance make the investment worthwhile.

The only downside is the price, as they are definitely premium tires and cost more than many competitors. Additionally, if you frequently drive on rough roads with potholes, you may hesitate because replacing them can be expensive.

Overall, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 strikes an excellent balance between performance, safety, and everyday comfort. They have made driving more enjoyable and have given me greater confidence in both dry and wet conditions. I would happily purchase them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a premium set of performance tires.

I have been using Michelin tyres for a very long time with all my cars. I have always felt safe and very confident about them. I highly recommend them, particularly for high performance cars. Show details

After using Michelin LTX tires on my car for quite some time, I can honestly say they have been one of the best sets of tires I have owned. I spend a… Read more

lot of time driving in different conditions, including city traffic, highways, and occasional rainy weather, so I wanted a tire that could handle everything comfortably.

The first thing I noticed was how quiet these tires are. Road noise was significantly reduced compared to my previous tires, making long drives much more enjoyable. Highway trips became less tiring because the cabin stayed noticeably calmer and smoother.

Ride comfort has also been excellent. The Michelin LTX absorbs bumps and rough pavement very well, and the car feels composed even on less-than-perfect roads. The steering remains stable, and the tires inspire confidence during lane changes and highway cruising.

Wet-weather performance has been another strong point. During heavy rain, the tires maintained good grip and resisted hydroplaning better than I expected. Braking distances felt short, and the vehicle remained predictable, which added a lot of confidence when driving in poor weather.

One of the biggest reasons I chose the Michelin LTX was its reputation for longevity, and so far it has lived up to that expectation. The tread wear has been very even, and despite putting many miles on them, they still look and perform impressively well. Knowing that the tires are likely to last for years makes the higher purchase price easier to justify.

The only downside is that Michelin LTX tires are not inexpensive. They cost more than many competing options, and the initial investment can feel significant. If someone mainly drives short distances and rarely travels, cheaper alternatives may seem more appealing.

Overall, the Michelin LTX has been an outstanding choice for my car. The combination of comfort, quietness, dependable wet traction, and long tread life has made every drive more pleasant. Although they cost more upfront, the quality and durability make them feel like money well spent, and I would gladly buy another set when the time comes.

Great tyres and fitted fast - in my driveway! Very convenient

OEM tyres on 2019 Hilux – Had these from new on a 2019 Toyota Hilux SR5. 265x60r18 Yes, smooth quite highway / bitumen driving. Ok on soft offroad use like light gravel roads… Read more

and a bit of light sand use. Definitely not great on wet / muddy grass, but that's expected with this type of tread pattern.

Just one month shy of 2 years use, 53,000 kms, and unfortunately the poor process of the Toyota service department "rotation" system (missing rotation on 2x service intervals and then only doing front to back on same side) had excessive wear on the outside of the passenger side wheels outer walls. Rest of the tread was ok for probably another "legal" 20,000km, but in reality in wet weather the traction control was starting to work overtime.

Plus, I started to notice from about 18 months use, around the 40,000km, the tyres would give off a "squeal" in dry conditions on hard concrete surfaces like carparks etc when cornering at slow speeds.

On a 4wd, these are really just highway and soft offroad tyres. An AT type variant tyre is probably more appropriate on a Hilux type vehicle.

I've replaced them with Scorpion All Terrain + tyres (see my review on here)

I've had 3 sets of Primacy SUV 215/65R16 tyres on my Mitsubishi Diesel ASX over 9 years. I run them at 35psi and gently drive 30,000Km/year - mostly… Read more

highway driving. They're excellent tyres, with low road noise, good grip on wet bitumen, never had a puncture, maintains control on very rough surfaces, and I've averaged 80,000Km per set. I bought a set of Michelins for my wife's Corolla and I've been recommending them to everyone. My third set cost $750 (end of financial year special) from Jax Toowoomba. Recent quotes for a fourth set ranged from $1060 to $1220 which is a significant price rise in the last 3 years - too much for this Michelin fan. After much homework, I've just replaced my Michelin Primacy SUV tyres with Falken CT60 tyres for $770 including wheel alignment, from Bob's Auto at Hervey Bay. Farewell Michelin.

it is a whole new car! this car had Pirelli tyres when i got her, and the last one (same make model before) i put Michelins on and the difference… Read more

between the two is so brutally in Michelins favour. i can drive my car as meant to be again without losing the grip in the back very happy me

Toyota Prado 150 and Michelin LATITUDE CROSS Tyres - 125,000 kms – Have you ever got 125,000 kms out of a set of tyres that still grip in the wet??? Thats what I've got out of my Michelin LATITUDE CROSS tyres - this… Read more

is my 4th Toyota Prado - usally keep them for around 200 to 250,000kms before trading for a newer model - times are tough with COVID 19 - so will be keeping this one and just buying a new set of tyres that grip and give you unbelievable mileage

Great service with care. What else could you ask for

These guys are great and fitted the tyres up quickly and professionally Show details

We are very satisfied with the tyres fitted to our caravan The service from Mobile Tyre shop was quick and reliable. They arrived when stated, 2 very helpful staff and 4 tyres fitted and balanced in a short time. Will use them Mobile again

Purchased these for our 2012 Nissan X-Trail, after the Falken WildPeak HT's we had (see my other review) became dangerous in the wet... The Falken… Read more

WildPeak HT's were 4.5 years old, and they had done about 70,000km; they still had about 70% tread left, so they were cheap (about 30% cheaper than the michelins) and they wore very well... but they never gripped well - even in the dry and when they were new... and they only got worse over time and in the wet. After doing some research, I ended up deciding on the Michelin Primacy 4 ST.. WOW! The Michelins are quieter, more comfortable (softer), and offer WAY more grip - in the wet and dry. I am happy to sacrifice tread wear, if it means my family is safer ALL the time. The Michelin Primacy 4 ST is a great tyre!

Buy, install, enjoy. Repeat – These tyres are one of the best high performance tyres out there. Awesome dry and wet grip with stiff sidewalls to eliminate the mushy front-end… Read more

confidence-sapping feeling. Excellent feel and acceptable ride comfort with minimal tram-lining and aquaplaning.

The minor complaints would be a very short life-span if pushed near their limits, rubber hardens significantly when tread is running low (leading to a big drop of grip levels) and pricing (if your tyre size is not common). Tyres required replacing at 30,000 km on my BMW M3 and 12,000 km on my Renault RS265 (no trackdays included). Both vehicles stock standard.

But I can't have my cake and eat it all, so I have replaced my vehicles with these tyres countless times now.

havn't tried anything comparable – This has been a hard tyre to get away from as a daily rider, despite its relatively high price tag it provides ample performance for both dry and wet… Read more

Good product , very quiet and a smooth ride. The installer was friendly, very skilled and we couldn't fault the service Thankyou.

issues . Mechanical issue they believe caused by wheel alignment , there is no abnormal wear and after presenting proof via photos the communication has ended. So the Michelin Tyre wear guarantee not worth anything.

After doing a lot of research i decided to go for the Michelin E Primacy. The original tyres on my Volvo were the Primacy 4, I ended up with 47k from… Read more

that set.

The tyres are really quite and road noise is limited. Braking seems good and so does driving in dry conditions.

Have had the opportunity to try them in heavy rain. Michelin’s are not chep, but they had $150 money back offer that you get back in a digital visa card so it was worth it.

Overall, very satisfied with the Tyres.

knew it was a design problem. Michelin agreed to replace it with a Touring front tyre. Will never buy Michelin again
