Customer Reviews
Everyone at Discount Tire was great to work with and was able to get a good deal on the four new Michelin tires for my 2023 Tahoe.
This is my second set
These are the best tires for 4th Gen Dodge Durango. Had a road hazard event and tire was promptly replaced. Good ride, low noise, decent handling for a full size SUV. Traction in heavy rain feels sufficient although I typically slow down below speed limit in those conditions. I recommend these tires.
