Personally, I don't really like Michelins. Always thought they were overpriced compared to most other brands, probably to support their racing program, and no better quality.
Adrian I ran Michelins for years and years on all of my 3/4 ton pickup trucks and haven't found anything else that would last nearly as long. I don't know much about their car tires but several guys I know run them on their trucks and they are also very happy with them.
I now have Nitto TerraGrapplers on my truck and that's only because I'm not running it up and down the highway everyday, otherwise it would be another set of Michelins.
