I love them. And I had really great dealings with Tire Rack, too.
It has snowed several times here since I had them put on. They are just wonderful. I can drive through any amount of snow in the driveway or on our side street -- which is a real mess at times because it is a cul-de-sac and the plow drivers can't seem to figure out how to clear it. I just barrel through the stuff in my '02 Outback with the snows on it.
On newly fallen slippery stuff, I just drive wisely, but I'm not slipping or sliding around, and I feel safe. These tires are wonderful for the conditions here in Michigan. I have never had a car that holds the road like this one does -- but only with snow tires. The Potenzas were total crap last winter. I'm glad I switched. I'll put the Potenzas back on in the spring.
To whomever recommended the Michelins to me, thank you so much.
