Advantages: Good handling on dry roads.

Disadvantages: Can skid easily on wet or icy surfaces, They can wear easily.

I have had Michelin tyres on my past 3 cars and to be honest, I think they are ok, but they quite often look like they need a bit of air in them.

The French car manufacturers all use Michelin on their new cars, perhaps because Michelin is a French company.

I find michelin to be good tyres on dry roads, but they can skid a bit on wet roads, and I really don't like using Michelin tyres on snow.

The best michelin tyres I have had have been the Michelin Energy, these have been on the market for a while, they are reasonably priced and they can be easily found and fitted in most places that sell tyres across the UK. I find these tyres to be soft and they can wear easily, especially on the front wheels of a Front Wheel Drive vehicle, so regular rotations are necessary.

Don't talk to me about tyres! On Friday night someone slashed all 4 of my brand new tyres. They'd only been on the car for 3 weeks :o(

As with most generalisations, it's hard to get them to apply to all situations. I have Michelin Pilot Sports low profiles on my MG ZT. They are superb in the dry and the wet but don't wear very well. I will soon need new ones and I've only done 17,500 miles (or maybe it's the way I drive!)

Favourit e tyres are Pirelli P6000s.
