Anyone else have these tires which are great at first but never last? Just went to a set of Falken as I am done with bogus reviews that never seem to relate to my use.

I’m not thrilled with the LTX M/S on my F150, they have a very harsh impact profile to the stock Toyos. But the other Michelins I’ve had have been above average.I am running Pilot Sport All Season 4 on the TSX and Pliot Sport 4S on the GS.
If I keep the Model 3 long enough I will likely use Michelins, even thought the Contis are great rubber.
No more Bridgestones for me...
I put a set on Contis on my friend Mani's 2019 CR-V EX-L replacing the stock rubber. Unbelievable difference. I was blown away at the difference. I am sold.I’m not thrilled with the LTX M/S on my F150, they have a very harsh impact profile to the stock Toyos. But the other Michelins I’ve had have been above average.
I’ve been smitten with the 6-7 sets of Conti’s I’ve had, plus they’re generally 80% the cost of Michelin.
lol, they’re the ones I have on my aforementioned accord hybrid. I’ve been most pleased!! I have a decent mix of around town plus 150-ish mile each way road trips in all conditions. I’ve always been happy with them.The only bad experience that I’ve had with Michelin were with the Energy Saver A/S. They were down to 3/32” by 38,000 miles. The wet weather handling was awful. They weren’t all that good in the dry.
Good for you. I hated them. I replaced them with Hankook Ventus S1Noble2. The Hankook tires were better in every category.lol, they’re the ones I have on my aforementioned accord hybrid.

How long did the Hankook last compared to the energy savers?Good for you. I hated them. I replaced them with Hankook Ventus S1Noble2. The Hankook tires were better in every category.
I do have Michelin tires on the F-150 and Tiguan. They both perform well.
I don’t recall. I traded the car for my F-150.How long did the Hankook last compared to the energy savers?
I replaced the OE Bridgestone HL422 plus tires on our Tiguan with Michelin Defender T&H. They are pretty good tires. I put the Bridgestone HL 422 plus in the same category as the Michelin Energy Saver A/S. When the time come to replace the tires on the F-150, it won’t be with Michelin. I’m not paying $300 per tire.I have not bought a Michelin tire as a replacement tire ever. I find them to be overly expensive for what you get. Continental is my go to brand, with second and third choices being Nitto and Nokian.
I pulled those at 40k - worn and chippingThe only bad experience that I’ve had with Michelin were with the Energy Saver A/S. They were down to 3/32” by 38,000 miles. The wet weather handling was awful. They weren’t all that good in the dry.
What is your benchmark for a "lasting" tire? Michelin Defender are benchmark for long lasting and KEEPING performance. Most tires that last a long time lose performance very fast. I do not need tire that looks brand new after some time and in wet behave like pair of skis.Anyone else have these tires which are great at first but never last?

My Michelins have all lived up to expectation for me. Really, every tire I've bought has done about what reviews say it will. Except Nokian. Those were trash. I submitted a factual, profanity-free, comparison brand-free 1 star review to Nokian's site that was never published or included in the ratings. So now I know what's up, lol!Anyone else have these tires which are great at first but never last? Just went to a set of Falken as I am done with bogus reviews that never seem to relate to my use.
