THE TRUTH ABOUT MICHELIN TIRES

[@Doggepp]

"When you look at their tires, they are actually not that bad" literally every single super/hyper car is on a michelin tire, bmw m-cars, mercedes amg's, porsches, koenigsegg, bugatti etc. And all high speed and nurburg ring records are done almost exclusively done on michelin (except for the italian cars). Sure, Nitto and Toyos are good. But michelins are the real baller tires.

[@generalnando5722]

Nittos and toyos have better looking logos

[@Doggepp]

They look cooler on stance cars, thats pretty much it. I ran R888R's on my track car, amazing tires. Pilot Sport Cup 2's aint available in that size, and also costs probably twice, and wears down twice as fasat

[@OdamaKamayuka]

Hi Doggepp, do you have evidence regarding Cup 2's wearing twice as fast as R888R's ? I've often read that kind of thing online but always read that it's false from test and reviews. Maybe a commercial is to blame for this belief ? Never tested R888 nore R888R so i can't say. :s I know R888's and R888R's lifespan is REALLY good as far as drift is concerned, but for regular racing it's seems pretty similar. "When you look at their tires, they are actually not that bad" Who the f*ck think Michelin's tires are bad in the first place ? Kid educated about tires by Fast and Furious ? O_o On the topic of Toyo vs Michelin : Cearly 2 different tires, Cup 2's and P Zero Trofeo's are the best but expensive, Toyo's are good as well but are half the price for a reason, those tires are much more specialised. They're really good to have fun on track but lot less multipurpose (wet conditions, confort, noise, fuel consumption, handling's not exactly at Trofeo's and cup 2's level either). Both are good, you juste have to know what you're buying.

[@paulken1919]

no he hasnt, they dont make em in his size. he is justifying his cheap purchase.

[@Doggepp]

Ehrm, not exactly. R888R's are almost exactly the same price as a Cup 2. So I was wrong about the price. But they have less treadwear. R888R's are £130 in 225/40/R18 - Cup 2's are £133.

[@perforongo9078]

What you forgot to mention was that while they were making maps and travel guides, they also came up with the Michelin Star system for restaurants. It's by far the most prestigious restaurant rating system around- some chefs have committed suicide over having their restaurant downgraded by a star.

[@FMichael1970]

Sacre bleu!

[@shngsam8777]

and they invented the michelin star rating for food too.

[@_lime.]

Can't believe they didn't mention this.

[@MrCourty89]

I was waiting for it but it never came lol

[@shngsam8777]

i was waiting too

[@potatochobit]

michelin and bridgestone are probably the best tire makers, right now.

[@FMichael1970]

Michelin - yes...Bridgestone - not quite...

[@FMichael1970]

Michael S. Ask around - do some research - go to any tire shop - read reviews on Tire Rack . Com...I’d bet my bank account that 80%, or more would rate Michelin as a better tire manufacturer...The only line of tires that Bridgestone beats Michelin is with their winter/snow tires...Otherwise everything else Michelin is hands down a better tire manufacturer.

[@CaseAgainstFaith1]

@@FMichael1970 I agree that Michelin is the single best tire manufacturer. Who is #2?

[@wtfchazpwnt]

@@CaseAgainstFaith1 Probably continental

[@gerikuper6473]

potatochobit conti continental best

[@TommyBlazeHD]

I just mounted Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. They are a fantastic tire! I just got them this weekend so I will just offer my initial impressions: They are quiet! I have a lightweight Civic Si, so I have very little sound dampening. I just used them around town and the crappy af side streets here in Los Angeles, and they aslo absorb the bumps better than I thought they would. Also, the rolling resistance is unreal. Maybe is was my very worn old tires that sucked right off the line (Conti ExtremeContact DW) , but these bad boys just move the car effortlessly as I row through the gears. Plus, they make the steering feel lighter. Again, my old tires may have not have been inflated properly, or maybe it's due to them just having Zer0 traction left.... But I really like these tires. High performance with a long lasting treadwear 45K! Hard to beat that.

[@tk-jv4zd]

michelin pilot sport 4 are the best

[@thestig3163]

Obviously, the coolest car in the world is the Fiat Multipla. How can you not want that bad boy?

[@TrVlogs82]

No.

[@takcleberry]

No.

[@Joe-rx7ht]

No

Great vid, but you made my ears bleed with that gibberish at the beginning. I don't know what you thought that was, but I can assure you that wasn't french. On a lighter note, congrats on finally reaching puberty!

[@DukeNuggets69]

Factory of Michelin ain't far from me. It's an epic sight to see :D

[@TrVlogs82]

Freaking loved Michelin best tires I have ever owned. Happy they got into the tire company.

[@alister.birtles]

Just found out recently that my Dad was on the team making Michelin tyres for the McLaren F1 and Jaguar XJ220 :O

[@FitmentIndustries]

WHAT that wild man!! 👀

[@skylinefever]

My 2002 VW Jetta was built with Michelin tires and they amazed me. As I result, I recommended Michelins to everybody.

[@mattaulb]

Michelin are simply the best tires you can buy for a performance car. I only ride the MPSS on my PUG308GTI (still waiting for french brands on your website BTW FITMENT INDUSTRIES COMMON!). As a snowboarder, their winter Alpin are amazing as well, no problem keeping traction in the snow even with a 300ps car.

[@lok687]

should try the 4S tires there even better just put them on my 308 gti

[@RubberWilbur]

best tires I've ever owned in last 30 years of driving.

are you sure it's not the left one?

[@therayven3147]

@@iuliancalin22 no, I think it's the right one... After all, you often see NASCAR teams going with "right sides only"... So I think it's the right one...

Just bought a pair today unbelievable ride on LA freeways smooth quiet car feels like a jet

[@rxmclaren7]

i still think you guys should also focus on one of the biggest parts of the rolling mass of a vehicle...brakes...and brake manufacturers...wheels and tires are cool and all...and suspension is also epic...but why no love for stopping power?

[@lauratasias3026]

When it started the dude scared me ;-;

[@sharan4321]

I have been rocking Michelin since 10 years and will continue to do so. TILL DEATH DO US PART.

[@truthseeker8483]

Also invented the world's first Assymetric tyre the XAS with different treads on each side of the tyre for better cornering performance....

[@RalliRandy]

The coolest car in the world is the 1st gen mx5 because of pop up headlights and the cutest fucking smile bumper ever created

[@goldenboyx92]

My BMW will only run Michelin tires. The performance says it all

[@brandomedia8711]

The coolest car in the world is the LS400. It is considered one of the most reliable cars in the world, started a major car company, and is a baller mobile! The design is classic and it has a V8 so it already gets cool points for that.

[@Joe-rx7ht]

My SVT Mustang Cobra came equipped with Goodyear tires. One day out of nowhere I switched to Michelin when Sears was having a sale. Absolute the BEST tires I have ever driven on. Mustang never slid, fish tail or step out on my me, in wet or dry conditions. I can’t believe I didn’t switch sooner. Goodyear tires are trash. I only run BF Goodrich on my 4x4 (they are owned my Michelin) and Michelin Pilot Sports on my Mustang. I’ll never use anything else.

[@marvinscottjr.4310]

i have michelin on my car and love the tires. Long lasting and comfortable. Also, grips like a beast..even in the rain. I was scared, but safe!

[@Wuerofalso]

What type of michelin, im lookin to get some but dont know which one to get, want the same experience as you

[@NothingXemnas]

0:17 Why did you say "United States of America" twice? Considering the top 5 tire sellers in the world and one of them being Goodyear, the others are Japanese, Italian, German and French. Unless I missed something.

[@POVShotgun]

Might be a comedic tilt of the hat to patriotic American car enthusiasts

[@jeremykirk1334]

He was saying America is all tire makers most important market we Americans buy the most tires.

[@therayven3147]

I was waiting for someone to mention "GoodYear" tyres...

[@therayven3147]

I like Michelin tyres... They are a good tyres... They have a huge background for performance in Motorsports... I tend to lean more towards GoodYear tyres, though GoodYear does not really have a big background in international Motorsports, they tend to stay more to the American Motorsports like NASCAR... I also like BF Goodrich tyres, though they are a subsidiary of Michelin... A set of Michelin tyres on BBS Racing wheels is a badass combo... As for the coolest cars, I really don't have a favorite, but I tend to like the 1967 Chevy El Camino, or the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am... I also love the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, but this is because of the "General Lee" in the Dukes of Hazzard...

[@TedSchoenling]

Korea and France and Italy spring to mind for me

A better way forward in motion for life.

[@recoveringnewyorker2243]

I put a set of Michelin tires on my car at 41000 miles. They had a 60000 mile warranty and at 74,000 Miles still have one third of their tread left! It's not that I wouldn't consider another brand of tire, but the salesman would be hard-pressed to get me to go for anything but Michelin!

[@jessstuart7495]

I'm a Michelin convert as well (Defender, All-Season).
