hello everyone,
i'm currently at Michelin of North America as an Industrial Design Intern.
for marketing and design ideas, i wanted to ask car enthusiansts like you what are your thoughts on tires.

and if you are using michelin or BFG tires now or have used in the past,
may i ask what made you decide on the buying the tires?
and what you liked, and disliked.

and what other tire brand has treads that you like?

and what would you like to see in the near future?

i'd really appreciate all your comments!

 

I <3 my Michelin (Blizzaks?) snow tires on my old 240sx, i used to plow thru snowy highways like a mad man making 4wd vehicles look like chevy aveos BFG have some decent tires from what I've heard.

I'm a **** for Kumho's though, great tread life, awesome grip and good price tag in comparison to its competitors.

Id be interested to see if they could make a auto-x tire that could compete with the kumho xs in those 3 departments. If im not mistaken i remember reading an article that had a set of bfg's in the same categorie but had shorter life and about 50-60 more on the price tag to the kumhos.

how did u score a cool internship like that? my internships were for lame companies that offered no pay

 

i have a set of bfgoodrich kdw's on my tc, and they are a pretty good tire. my only problem is that when i'm autocrossing, they give give absolutely no warning when you are cornering at their limit, and when you do lose it, they are slow to recover. other than that, they are good tires.

 

Michelin = $$$ not sure many peeps with Scions are poppin for those. especially here. I am rolling Dunlop FM901's( had them for 5 years) and both other cars use Falken.
