I've got a customer that dropped his car off and tossed me the keys- he gave me a short list and told me it needs tires. "Put whichever tire on it that you would for your own car" he said. That's a heck of a responsibility!
Lately I've gained appreciation for Michelin products (no, not a fanboi) and have installed a few sets either on customer and family member's cars. In fact, I'll be installing a set of Defender LTXs on our Lincoln when it needs rubber.
All that being said, this guy is a cool cat and I'd like to make sure that he gets the appropriate tire for the best motoring experience. I've been thinking about the Premier- I know that it doesn't have a full tread depth, but this car is garaged in the winter (and they supposedly do well in the snow anyway). Tire size will be 235/55-17. What do you guys think? Is there a more appropriate choice? Also, the primary driver will be his wife.
Lastly, even though the thread title is for Michelin, I would consider other, premium tires too.
