Have been mainly Pirelli or Continental tires over the past 35 years of doing around 30,000 miles a year. Had Michelin Pilot Sport fitted to a 4x4 car (so supposed to be ideal for rough ground) and in less than 800 miles there appeared a small side wall bulge. Fitter thought probably faulty tire as no other sign of damage to wheel but waste of time contacting Michelin as they would for sure just say road damage. Never had side wall damage in the past so lesson learnt, will stick to brands that never let me down in the past. These are £450 tires and looking at the other reviews, side walls seem to be Michelins downfall. How hard can it be to make a decent tire, I’ve had birthday candles that have lasted longer.
