<yawn> Michelin does it again
« on: August 29, 2013, 01:20:05 PM »
Consumer Reports:  "Michelin dominates our latest tire Ratings"




Consumer Reports has just published the latest results of 49 tested models of ultra-high-performance (UHP) summer and all-season tires, and performance winter tires. The big winner? Michelin. But Goodyear, Nokian, Pirelli, and others have traction, too.

    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.

Are you saying that those are the tire we should be using on our C-14's?

I wish They would make a Jeep tire along the lines of the Goodyear MTR Kevlar.

  Why nitrogen? Does it inflate tires better?

Once you use Nitrogen, you can never go back to regular air again, or so I heard.   ;D

Michelin's sidewalls are thin, so the ride is smooth. Goodyear's sidewalls are stiff, giving better handling.
