I have, because they’re amazing tires for my climate- the cross climate ones.

Meanwhile the Michelin OEM tires on my car were the worse tires i ever had. Didnt last 20k miles and they didnt have much grip on dry pavement from day one.

OEM tires are engineered for gas mileage, not usefulness. It's all about the epa rating

You'd think after ford and firestone was sued for faulty tires they would change that.

I have both accidentally eaten at a Starred restaurant and unintentionally bought their tires. Happened to eat at a restaurant around the corner from a hotel in Spain that was Starred and only found out after. And got the garage to put new tires on and asked for the not totally cheapest but affordable and got their All Seasons.

Michelin tires are fine, I bought many of them because my favourite tire place sells a shitton of heavy truck tires from them so they have great discounts. And I've eaten at a starred restaurant because it was my friends'. Haven't loved the latter tho.
