> Yes, but are the "over-priced"? I would have to say so... Looking at tires from the top shelf (max perf. or extreme perf. category) on TireRack.com - the Michelins are within the ballpark of other brand name tires. That said, personally I'm not a huge fan of Michelin either. :) Pete

Yes, but are the "over-priced"? I would have to say so...

However, I'm not such a big fan of Goodyears in general. Bridgestone,
Yokohama, BF Goodrich, some Dunlops are good, IMO.

Why do people insist on generalizing like this? Each of these
manufacturers produces a multitude of tires, and within that range there
are some crappy tires and there are some good ones. The Pilot Sport and
the PS2 from Michelin are actually quite decent.

Michelin are over priced, and I have never liked them for handling.

FWIW, I don't like Continental or Pirelli for handling either, despite
Pirelli PZeros being used on super cars. I would look at Goodyear or
Bridgestone myself.

My 1989 325i uses 195/65 HR14 tires. After the original I've always used Michelin tires. I now find out Michelin no longer makes a 195/65. What is a recommended Michelin tire for my car? 195/60 OK? Thanks.
