Subject: RE: Are Michelin Tires Junk?


E ND
Michelins are good ag tires, they have a great internal design that puts a big footprint on the ground and pulls well to transfer power and seem to always ride comfortably at the right pressure.

The problem I see is that they do have a hard/dry rubber compound and do seem to weathercheck and crack earlier than they should if you're not wearing the tread down relatively quickly. Meaning a low road-use tractor that runs in conventional tillage seems to fail earlier than expected while it still has good tread because they crack, split and start to leak.

Other tires seem softer, wear faster on the tread and wear out earlier than a Michelin while not getting the traction or ride of a Michelin.

What makes the most sense depends on how you plan to use it and if you normally wear the tread off first or fail them due to age.
