I am done buying Michelin tires! They are a joke. Last 2 Cadillacs I’ve had I made sure 60,000 mile tires were on new cars. Both I’ve only gotten 19,000 miles on them and needing replaced. I can get NO satisfaction from the company or place I bought my cars! These are very expensive tires and too expensive to replace every 19,000 miles!
