Car tyres.

Hi all. I am looking to change my tyres soon on my Honda Civic Type S GT.
Have been looking at the Michelin cross climate tyres. Has anybody on here got them
on your car and what do you think of them? I have had a look at the reviews online and
most of them seem to think either they are the best thing since sliced bread or hate them!! :blink:
So looking for a real review from everyday people that have used them.
Thanks Allan.

I never had those in particular but the Michelins I once had were faultless.

Again not those in particular but Michelin always last so I have at various times either run them or avoided them it would depend on how long I was keeping the car and what sort of miles I was doing. I have however never had any problems with the ones i have had, and I will be getting some from the same stable in the near future once the Bridgestone are dead.

Thanks guys. I have got Dunlop sportmaxx RT on at the moment in 225/45/17.
Great all round tyres but they are summer tyres. The Michelin crossclimate tyres
are summer tyres but are also rated for winter use. Makes sense to me on paper
but just not sure in the real world. Its around £400 for a set so don't want to make
an expensive mistake.

I had an in-law that worked at Dunlop..........this is years ago............and he told me how meticulous the production is at Michelin. If you like the tyres then perhaps the extra cost is worth it. I always intend to keep cars that I own so a long lasting tyre is a +ve thing for me but I often flip the cars early despite my philosophy. An alternative is to get new rims too and when you sell the car you can put back the original setup and sell the new ones or pass them on to your next zuki.:laugh:
