I used to drive Michelin on all of my cars before we moved to the country. That is why I put the Michelin's on the car. The car came with Pirellies <spelling> and they went over 70k miles before I put the Michelins on. After I I noticed the Michelin's were wearing, I checked the wear rating on them, and they were only a 300 which is about the lowest you can get. It may be a case where Michelin makes the tires to spec that the big dealers ask for. This was one of the bigger tire chain stores in the US, but I won't mention any names on the list. The Jeep Cherokee Sport that she drives now is running on Goodyear Regatta's, (i think) She is not home right now so I cannot go out and look. What she has on it right now have gone over 40K miles on gravel and still look almost new. I will check them when she gets home and let you know.
