I'm getting 4 Michelin tires today. Does anyone know of any rebates from Michelin that are available right now?
Thanks!

I did a quick search. Only saw a currently running rebate for Goodyear tires (Discount Tire Direct).
The Michelin rebate I found looked like it ended October-November'09. :smile0009:

The only thing I found was a comment that Michelin tires are on sale at Sears.

Depends on which ones. Yes, the OEM Michelin tires on the Gen 2 ST's are crap. However, the Michelin LTX M/S tire is very good.

IMO, Michelin tires are over priced. Not to say they arent good tires. Just that there are other brands cheaper just as good qaulity. BFG or Yokohama for 2.
I have had sincere talks with folks in tire bussiness. You pay average 15% too much for the big M name.
I believe it from my own experiance, of all the tires I have gone thru.

I continue to get over 100k miles out of Michelin LTX M/S, did so on my 93 Explorer Sport & have on my 01 ST. We have them on both our 01 & O5 Sport Tracs now. I wouldn't run anything else. And I have other Michelins on my wife's 04 Maxima and my parents 98 Mercury Villager. Each set are rotated & balanced every 5k miles.

Michelin owns BFG. Quality control on both seem to be very good in my experience. Rode LTX M/S for years. Last two sets are BFG. No problems....

The ONLY 2 issues I have with Michelin's are if you use tire dressing a lot you will crack the sidewall of the tire prematurely and IF you ever have to dismount the tire to fix a flat or swap a rim, the BEAD rubber is a soft compound and normally tears..... no matter what machine you use and how you do it...
That almost requires a bead sealer compound to be put on the tire and rim..
i hated doing that but it worked since we always used a patch/plug combo to fix tires..
Other then that i like their ride and dry/snow traction.... the wet road left a little to be desired..
