    My Audi came with Pirellis. They're OK, I guess. Traction's good.

    But they're starting to show wear at 36K miles (!). Probably go with Michelins next time.

            My pickup came with Dunlop grandtrek AT25 tires.

            As far as I can tell, no issues. (Now at 30K kilometers, so still pretty new)

                @Copper said in Buy Michelin:

                Michelin at Costco, with nitrogen, no air please.

                Does the 21% oxygen in the tires really make a noticeable difference?

                  Tried Nitrogen in my truck tires once years ago. Yes, it made a difference.

                  …to my spending money allowance that particular month.

                    What does it cost to fill your tires with N2?

                      Can’t remember, I think I paid $25 per tire back then.

                      As near I can tell today it costs at local tire shops min $30 per tire or min $200 if all tires are new.

                        Costco uses Nitrogen, I don't think compressed air is an option, it is only N2. So no extra charge and Costco tires are generally cheaper than the competition.
