My new dually come with Michelins and after 14k miles it is hard to tell any wear. Very comfortable and quiet as well.
I've been fan of Michelins for generation and they were the only car brand I would buy new for over 20 years, but last years they become priced way above the competition, while we don't drive that much anymore, so high-mileage tires age before wear.
Michelin on other hand, having hard rubber for long life, don't do very well in slippery condition and I hated them on my ski trips.
On truck I had Hankcocks, I had Sailungs and they all last way longer than they start cracking unless you use them for some die-hard driving.
Lot of members disregard Chinese tires just becouse.
Chinese do excelent tires and try to find better trailer tire than "Made in China" .
When it comes to car and truck tires they make them very good as well, but US suppliers choose to buy low to medium quality.
Still 3 sets of tires I bought for truck and cars in last 10 years had excelent value. Only low-profile Triangles vere noisily.
