Them times been out for like 2 years now..
Happy New Year to you as well but what tires will last forever? I didn't hear that statement but I could have missed it.
I've only now realised
the only flaw concept of the airless tyre,
would be I guess Ice building up & creep, freezing epanding & thawing...
other than the design it self encouraging some people to toy with the rubber spokes.

Happy New year 🥳 from Algeria Scotty .
Best tires I've ever owned. Dry, wet, snow they stick the road. I never doubt them letting me down in any conditions. 60k miles on a set and room to spare, no problem. Tires are the single most important thing to maintain on a car after oil. And I trust Michelin to do it right.
Really I had some and they would always slip from a stop sign to a go in the rain
Hard to believe. I've never been able to get them to break loose even having to slam on the brakes. Never slipped an inch in standing water at 70mph. Seems very strange. Don't know what to say to that......
@@pabloslife2920 Which model? Crossclimates, Defender? All terrain won't handle like all weather either.
I put Michelin on my wife's and kids car because I love about them. Me , I randomly buy various brands. I had to get tires in a pinch and I'm running Firestone because everyone else was out of my size.
I bought my son a set of tires a while back but he insisted on Continentals from a shop near his house. They've been pretty good for him I have to say and he poked a hole in one a couple of weeks ago but the guy took care of him quite well.
I have known semi-professional rally drivers who used Michelin tires exclusively. The longevity of those tires was incredible. I have had Michelin tires that performed above and beyond, but ultimately succumbed to age. Michelin tires are top-notch.
I think everyone knows they're always in the top 3 for sure.
People dont understand that you get what you pay for. Thr price of rubber has sky rocketed, thus its actually cheaper to put carbon fiber in a tire than actual rubber in some instances and thats why we're seeing tires with numerous materials.
Thank for recommending.I bought a set of Michelin on tire4coin. All recommendations for them.
126,000 miles MICHELIN Defender LTX M/S and still have more to go. I am an Uber driver driving a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander FWD 2.4L in Chicago, I have to replace the original tires at 92,000 miles, that is when I installed the Michelin's, since then the car feels safer in snow and rain, is softer and quiter, feels luxurious.
After washing your tires , you can spray 303 Protectant on outside and even inside tire walls and tread . To reduce and prevent cracking from heat , sun and cold .
YOKOHAMA are pretty good too, and they're budget friendly and hardy tires.
Thank you Scotty for everything that you do. From your recommendations to these 10min educational videos. You are really one of a kind and a master of your trade which is hard to come by these days. God bless
2013 RAV4 with 31K miles and the OEM Michelin Latitude tires (treadwear=440) were at the treadwear indicators. Very disappointed. Put on Pirelli Scorpions (treadwear=800) at the beginning of December. The ride is quieter, less noise, the steering feels more responsive and have gained 2 MPG.
I bought a set of Michelin LRR all season radial tires for my Mazda 3 and Discount Tire warranty replaced them at 28,000 miles. He said my tires were the 6th set he had warrantied that day and mine had the highest miles. The other sets had between 18,000 and 22,000 miles. I am not hard on tires and my last set lasted 77,000 miles. My original brakes lasted 92,000 miles before I had to replace just the front brake pads.
@@captinbeyond I probably do 80 percent highway
I learn something new every time I watch Scotty's channel...especially about the automotive industry..💯👍
My dad's been at Michelin for 30 years. Sent us to France for a year when I was a kid. Great company and their BF Goodrich brand or their main brand is all I'll use
That’s awesome man. Must’ve been a great experience!
@@TheWolf92 I was 11 and enjoyed it as much as you would think an 11 year old would lol. It's probably the only year I would take if I could have one back though
Michelin IS AMERICAN. God bless the USA 🇺🇸
@@Schlomothebest I worked in the plant when I was in college. Built the molds that made the tires. The Michelin tires you buy in America are made in America
@@adamsmith2683 yes it's an American brand
Did I miss the tire that would last foever?
Hi Scotty, really enjoy your videos with your wealth of mechanical info...on the Michelin tires, I like their durability but I like the tread pattern of others better like Firestone, Goodyear, etc. besides the cost difference! We go through tires like cops go through donuts up here in Upstate NY so we're continuously looking for good deals! Have a happy New Year!
This is good to read. I also live in upstate NY and never get more than 3 years/36,000 miles out of a set of tires, or more than 2 winters out of a set of snows. Nor do I get more than about 25,000 miles out of a set of brakes, especially front brakes. These mountains, I suppose, because I don't drive crazy. :D (I drive a 2014 Dodge Avenger).
I often wonder if Michelin would save me money in the long run, but maybe they don't last any longer than Goodyear, Bridgestone or Nokia?
HAPPY NEW YEAR SCOTTY!!🎉🎉
Hope to see more videos from you, you give helpful tips. Thank You!!☺️👍
I was the night shift tire balancer for Ford Motor Co. for 14 years. The St. Louis Assembly plant and I would get more than you would think that were naturally balanced and needed zero weights or only need a half ounce of weight.
Blizzak are some of the best tires I've had
Great tires. Never had an issue with these. I like to drive open highways at high speeds (90+) and trusted this brand to do it. Excellent handling at higher speeds.
Michelin pilot 4 on my car and gives me the smoothest ride I have ever had.
This is excellent. Thank you Scotty.
I'm a Cooper Tire guy myself. I'm at 70K miles (on a 60K mileage tire) on my current set (they will be changed in the spring). I will likely go with Cooper; otherwise, I'll switch to Michelin if I can't find a set of Cooper Tires.
Very informative Scotty!
Happy new year
I bought 4 cooper discovery all season tires last weekend for my 01 Chevrolet conversion van, 4.3, my gas mileage got much better, so far they are great, very happy!
Definitely my favorite tire brand since 1974, when I bought my first set for my 1970 VW bus. The new tires made driving my bus a new experience. Since then, it has been Michelin all the way with exception of snow tires where I prefer Blizzak.
Just celebrated my 35th year at Michelin here in Nova Scotia Canada one month ago. Awesome tires.
I had Michelin's on my 2007 Ml350. I always used oem. I put a set of Coopers on and they are better, quieter and at time 1/2 the price. I do have a set of Michelin defenders on my 2015 Sprinter and they are super. I had same on my 2018 Metris and not so great. I think it depends on the vehicle.
I had a set of coopers on my Toyota Corolla, didn't impress me... Got some nexen tires after and they're better, on the other car i had hankook ventus Evo 12 Wich were slightly better than nexen and now michelin pilot sport 4 Wich blows away all the tires i ever had, they grip so well on tight corners, i can take them with over 60mph, and it's so easy to control when you lose traction, you can control where you go, with the nexen.. they're ok but not even close to be so joyful to drive as the michelins and i trust them on high speed too, i go often with over 120mph even over 130.
Thank you Charlie Brown Happy New Year.
Just put a set of X-Ice Snow tires on my Rav4 Hybrid, and I love them so far. I used to be a fan of Blizzaks, but they wear down waaay too fast. Apparently these X-Ice Snow tires are good for 60,000km. Blizzaks also don't use the soft winter rubber compound on their entire tread, after its 1/2 way worn down its like you're driving with regular all season tires. Michelins have the soft winter compound through the entire depth of the tread which was a huge selling point for me.
these airless tires have "been just 5 years away" for the last 20 years
They are probably OK on a tractor, etc ... but how will they do at high-speed, high-performance driving?
I'm not much for Scotty's screamo videos but when he speaks with his normal voice... I'd listen to him for days!
Thanx for the education Scotty
Pure genius idea; fast forward into the future! No more flat tires!💰🤣Happy New Year!
Scotty...just wanted to say you're the best.
And Happy New Year bud!
My fuzion cheap-o tires have lasted much longer than my previous 3 sets of Michelin’s. I must have just gotten a really good batch of fuzions.
I’ve brought several Michelins in the past Michelin Defenders LTS. only lasted 38,000 miles thought being a 85,00O mile tire. Rotated Balance every other oil change great tire just didn’t last long.
Had a similar experience
knew somebody that had same experience, i was surprised because i heard good things about Michelin.
I have read posts on different forums from users who have had the same experience (I personally bought a Honda Accord back in the 90's that came with Michelin's. Went through all 4 tires within a year due to tire defects.
I just replaced the tires on my 2011 Toyota Camry SE with Yokohama Avid Ascend. The car drives & handles better!
Michelin does not make a 17" tire for the Camry SE!
They Do! Tire Rack Size 215 55 R17 94H - $169.99
Fantastic video!
Happy new year Scotty
Hope you feel great. Happy new year
Thank you Scotty, very informative. Happy new year.
Happy New Year Scotty. Couldn't agree more BUT while waiting for that day to come just fit Michelin Crossclimate2 to your cars. They're the 2nd best thing out there right behind the airless tyres.
I got a set of them today it felt so weird in a good way 😂 I was running on some old one from 2016 with cracks from the sun light but now I feel better for winter
The best tyres I remember ever using were on my Mitsubishi 4 wheel drive 2.0 turbo from 91, they were Falken, it really gripped the car to the road when we raced and took corners at speed.
Don't remember the model...
Happy New Year Scotty!
Happy New Year Scotty...
Another excellent post Scotty regarding basic car knowledge here tires. Interesting and informative tires are probably the most important item to check and monitor. I’m a big fan of Nokian snow tires and that would make a good video.
This was very Informative. I thoroughly enjoy your Documentaries - Scotty!
Awesome video production!
thank you for that information. have happy new year. be bless and have happy new year. SAVANNAH TN.
Happy new years!!!!
My number 1 choice in tires through the years. Great ride, quiet, durable.
Happy New Year 🎆 Scotty!
I'm a Michelin guy. I used to buy Goodyear and Bridgestone but my experience with Michelin has sold me on their quality.
Wow you never c'est to amaze me with the history of things car related. You are truly awesome. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
Happy New Year Scotty.
Another great video, thank you!
Great informative video! As all of your videos are! You are the man! Thank you so much for all that you do for all of us. Stay well, hope all is beautiful and good. Jim
Good information
Happy New Year Scotty to you your family and friends and to all! You gave us a great year 10 Q BROTHER 💯
Most excellent video!!!!!!
Happy New Year mr Scotty
Tires seem to dry rot much faster than they used to. I had tires for years, that looked fine. Now, in 6 or 7 years they start to crack. Are they skimping on quality, the way battery makers seem to be?
A magnificent New 2022 Year to you, Scotty !
Your information work is so appreciated by all of us...
Martin, from Quebec City, Canada !
I live in the UK. My mini countryman came standard with Michelin (medium grade) energy e-co tires after 10.000 miles of bumpy riding I changed to Bridgestone tires and straight away the ride was much improved and comfortable plus handling was much more responsive.. Bridgestone Turanza T005 are a very popular tyre here in the UK.
The tire that comes on the car are generally garbage unless it's a top tier luxury or sports car. My car came with garbage Goodyears which are my favorite brand and they didn't last 50k miles. I put on a top of the line Goodyear and got over 90k from that set.
Supposably back in the day people would swap the tires of a brand new car for a nice set... Sounds like we are getting back to that point again.
@@ohioplayer-bl9em Yes, Goodyear are a quality Tire. Those high end tires really do transform a car's handling and improve safety on the road. So many accidents here n the UK with some drivers not understanding the impact of not taking care of the car's tire' pressure and tread depth. Traffic Police in UK rare really serious about tire condition. the minimum legal tread depth in UK is 1.6mm. any less is deemed unsafe. If you’re found to be driving a vehicle with tires that have a tread depth which falls under the legal limit, you could receive a £2,500 fine and three penalty points on your license per tire.
Live in Cold part of Canada, Switched from Blizzak DMV-2 to Michelin Cross Climate 2 and WOW what a great tire, grip as good as Blizzak in snow and Ice, quieter on the road and a smoother ride in the LS460. Great Tires. Great Video Scotty, thank you!
Blessings my brother..
Thank you ..
May you have a
HAPPY and blessed
New Year....🌴👍😎🌈🌴
Michelin LTX M/S all I ran on my Dodge Dakota for 17 years
I purchased kenda klever rt tires on my 09 silverado last year and these are amazing
Happy new year😃
Happy New Years Scotty from the frozen far North of Canada. Wife's car we have Michelin Premier a/s for the spring/summer/early fall, then change over to Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9 studded tires for winter.
I wont deny Michelin's tire quality, My family used them along with Bridgetone as they will last almost a decade in our smaller cars however their prices made it harder for me to purchase them for my 2015 Dodge Charger Scat Pack, so my brand of choice are Continental and Pirelli both give you great value for durability and grip wich I did not get with the Goodyear tires that came with the car, now those are worst as they barely lasted 9 months and back passenger tire got flat 4 times.
My 2021 F150 came with Pirelli tires. One split in half at 4,000 miles. I replaced them all with Michelin truck tires.
@@MrLanternland wow that suks, but not surprising as Ford has been notorious on doing weird partnerships with tire companies, I guess in your case was better than the people that got the ford explorers flipping over with the Firestone tires, also nicknamed the exploders :(
I didn’t know about the restaurant ratings but I always and only use Michelin tires, if it’s a 60k tire I get 75-80k, they always go well over warranty, I do a ton of highway driving, only ever had 1 flat too
I've been using Michelin tires LTX M/S 25 years now, fell asleep and hit a guardrail doing around 65mph in my 1995 Tacoma 4x4" driver's front wheel, door came off. The truck Spawn around many times before landing in the emergency Lane just like I pulled over, it was spitting ice and snow that morning. Last Mitchell's I did get over 12 years with them and alot of miles, of course rotate/balance spring and fall.
Happy New year Scotty from uk 🇬🇧
Happy New Year!
Afternoon Scotty! 🏁Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I was a tire tech long ago. If properly mounted Michelin tires are as close to perfect circular wise as you can get. I have had more zero weight balances than any other tire out there!
Michelin is my go to tire brand and has been for 50 years. They are always round and require very little or no balancing weight. In all those years I've only had one set of Michelin tires that weren't up to their usually high standards. Like another person mentioned above, these were Michelin Defender tires from about 10 years ago. They were pretty well worn out at 35,000 miles and I had several flats during that time.
What about Tigar?
Used to be. I haven't been impressed with their longevity at all lately. My babied 85k Defenders lasted a whopping 44k.
Michelins are a tire guys dream come true, they air up so easily and easy to repair also
Good information, I use Continental on my civic,it's considered one of the best
Wishing You A Happy New Year For 2022 to Scotty/Your Loved One's/Family Member's & all of those from all over the world who tune into Scotty's site...
All The Best

Scotty this editing is world-class!
Manual transmission combined with good tires will be a great fun to drive, in any road condition.
i love the handling of michelin tires...i allway s use them on the race track.
The pilot sport 4s tyres are amazing i put them on every car i buy
I’ve be ok with Michelin, but last two sets I went with Bridgestone Turanza and am very pleased with their handling on snow and ice over the Michelins.
I just got my 2005 pontiac vibe a set of crossclimate 2 for the winter in Philly 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I got Michelins on a Certified Toyota Rav4. They had to be replaced due to dry rot at 2 years 45,000 miles.
Hi Scotty. I wish that I’d seen this video 3 years ago, when I purchased a new set of tires for my 2 E=250 cargo vans. I purchased a set of Hankooks for the cargo van that I drive the most and a set of Michelin tires for the van that I drive the least. I have had 4 Hankook tires go bad, with bulges on either the inside or outside of the tire (2 on the cargo and 2 on an Odyssey that I drive outside of work). I’m planning on switching the tires between the 2 vans so I get a decent amount of wear on the Michelins before the tires are older than 8 years old. I have 5 vehicles and am planning on switching them all to Michelins in the next 2 years.
My Suzuki Bandit 1200 came with new Bridgestone Battleax tires, which seemed to work okay, but quickly developed bad cupping on the front, and worn down tread in the back. Replaced them with Michelin Pilot Road 2s. The Bridgestones were slippery in comparison to the Michelins. The bike even lifted the front wheel on wet pavement once with the Michelins. By far the best motorcycle tires I've ever had. I commuted on that bike for 5 years year round. The Michelins never failed to impress me with their grip, ride quality, and durability.
Best Teacher!
Haven't had the best luck with Michelin tires, especially the eco type tires, some came new on my 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid and they didn't last and tread wore very uneven.... They didn't last 30,000 Miles! We have recently started using Walmart for tire service for our fleet and have had 0 Issues with Dextero Tires and 1/2 the cost with same ratings....
I plan on going with Bridgestone for my next set of tires. My 02 Mustang has Goodyear right now but now that I'm paying closer attention to tires, it appears that Bridgestone is what I'm looking for since it has a very low noise rating - the noise level from the Goodyears makes it difficult to enjoy the ride, not to mention not being able to listen to the car radio without being at a high audio level.. My 14 Xterra came with Bridgestone and I get a quiet and comfortable ride. A lot of money for these tires though.
Omg, who edited this video!? They deserve a round of applause.
When you do something right, I say it. Nice job on this one.
Good one today, Scotty! 👍👌 I've been told that Michelin is the best brand of tires for my '95 car, but they don't make P255/60R15. I want wider tires next time. P255/60R15 equates almost perfectly in height to the P215/70R15 that came on my car. 60mph would be 60.2mph with them in a perfect world, and that's as close as I can get. P245/60R15 would be 59.3mph and I rather go slightly faster than slower.
Scotty I don’t like Michelin. Everyone I ever owned on my Vehicles going back to the late 60’s have developed cracks in the side wall prematurely. Our brand new 2000 Mercury Marquis years ago came with Michelin on it. Cracks developed in the sidewalls on them. I replaced them and the new Michelins have done the same. We still own the car. This time around I purchased Yokohama. Cost me half the price. I have purchased the same Yokohama for 2 other vehicles I own so I have some experience with the tire. No cracks developed like the Michelin. I won’t buy another set of Michelins again. Being in the business as long as you have I am surprised you don’t mention about this sidewall cracking that Michelin is known for. I have even seen them leak air through those cracks. Just to mention my experience I was in the Auto Parts Business for over 40 years now retired as owner and WD and I have seen and experienced a lot. Spent a lot of time out on the road in repair shops that purchased my parts and supplies.
I'm a BFG guy for my trucks. Countless stories to explain my confidence. And Goodyear on my sports car.
I have never owned Michelin so I'm all ears to educate me to try another brand.
Pricey experiments though.
A Velly Goot Happy Safe New Year Scotty-san!!!
Scotty says- come to my loom, me love you long time!!! 😝😝
@@user-wm2tw Velly fonny. long time no hear. lol
@@chunglow7646 yes yes honorable Chung Low san !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Scotty, since you ask, I owned a semi tractor for 11 years. In that time I had three steer tire blowouts at highway speed. Yes I stayed alive. Anyway in each situation it was an almost new Michelin tire that blew out. There was no cause for each of these events. I will never own a vehicle with those things again. BTW, my 2018 Chevy Colorado has Goodyear tires, with 107,000 miles. I'll change them this summer. But, for now the tread covers Abe's ears. Thank you for your good work.
Best to get a tire tread gauge . Newest ones have green color - good , yellow - caution , red - replace now !
@@peterrudy9207 really? A penny is an adequate tire gage.
Yes, a penny is adequate, if you do not drive like a maniac. But, since you seem to show disbelief, Goodyear has a built in gauge, on my tires. Secondly, I also mic'd the tire with a new gauge. But, for a man like you @Peter Rudy, you should get help at a reputable tire store, so they can explain things to you.
I knew about the Michelin giving ratings to restaurants and publishing them, it’s a cool thing. But I’d go for Pirelli annual calendar, thank you!
Hey, happy holidays to you and your loved ones and your viewers. Jim
Iron Chef Scotty, dishing up tire info!
