They also require less weight to balance within a size grouping than the other brands.
^^^^^ THIS

Michelin by far has been the best tire I've ever had on my electronic spin balancer. Fantastic tire bar none. I run a set on my duramax and my father runs a set on his truck as well. Only tire I trust to do a lot of towing with.

I just wish they made more sizes. If they made various 15's I'd be running them on all the cars here.

My daily drivers, the Formula and the Z are running BFG's, mainly because it's one of the few brands that even make the sizes I need. No problems with those tires.
I run MT's on the Chevelle and the GTO, another car with Uniroyal, Kuhmo on another, Nexen on another.

I wish they made Trailer tires on their low rolling resistance Defender LTX-MS platform, I would have them on both my trailers in a heartbeat!

I agree. I looked all over but no dice. I'd have them on all my trailers if they made them.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
