My tires generally don't fail, they wear. When they're low enough that I don't want to start a winter with them, they go- I hate redlining it up the hill to my house in 2nd gear hoping I'll make it home.
Quoth Tire Rack:
175/65/15 delivered to 85901
Yokohama Avid Ascend GT: $98.99 ea.
Michelin Energy Saver A/S $146.89 ea.
That's 396 votes for Yokohama, 589 votes for Michelin, if you're the store.
It's 6 votes for Yokohama and 4 for Michelin if you're the customer's wallet.
They're both 65,000 mile tires. The Michelins need to be 48% more efficient to even think of breaking even over their lifetime because they're almost $200 more expensive on day one. Good luck, Michelin.
