The reason I suggested Tire Rack earlier is that their reviews explain the strengths and weaknesses of each model on specific vehicles so that each driver can decide based on what is most important to them.
That's true, my #1 is value. I can get more miles out of a Michelin than most other tires. I tend to keep my cars for a long time so a tire that lasts longer is of more value to me as it keeps me from shopping for tires a lot less. I was in the Auto business for 50 years and sold a lot of tires, Michelin is my #1!
