Well, this i did not agree. The most expensive tires did not mean it will win in each category, nowadays with the internet, reviews, actual test reports I sad to tell that Michelin performance is dropping and some competitors even manage to meet & win over it at a lower price range... Just think of it like Apple or LV, Michelin is like a branded item in tire world and position high up, with the ads, billboard, holiday/training package they are sponsoring the tire shop where do you think the cost come from?

I used a lot of Yokohama tires in different vehicle in my family & i did not encounter any problems. The most important is getting the suitable tires for the occation. Like SUV i am using Yokohama Geolander SUV series, while smaller ride like Kelisa i am using the ES32. FYI my Kelisa already using 2nd set of ES32, from the early orange oil batch until now, this is how good is it for me & my family.

FYI, if you think Michelin tires no issue, in my SUV group already got primacy 4 tires bengkak on the sidewall also. This depends on how the owner drive the vehicle, if always hit pot holes at high speed, any good tire also gg.

BTW, do observe those tire shop workers or shop owner vehicle is using what brand tires. If it is good, i believe most of them should be using similar brand or model right If you got true friends working in tire shop field, they will tell you there is no best/perfect tires even with the most expensive brand.
