Default Re: Michelin vs. Bridgestone: Are you satisfied?

Sorry for the confusion. We own a 2006 Highlander V6 4x4 (non-Hybrid) and I have a 1999 V6 supercharged Camry so I'm on the opposite extreme of gas-efficiency. With my summer setup and my driving style I'm getting between 20-22 mpg in my car, the Highlander is my wife's car but I think it averages close to 22-24, she has a light foot. The main reason I joined was to let everyone know about the aftermarket armrest that is available now to HL owners to replace the OEM afterthought one. I frequent toyotanation.com myself which has sections for HL, TCH, etc, etc. Jon. p.s. I'm glad Im not the only one to know the magic of the Avids.

Arrow Re: Michelin vs. Bridgestone: Are you satisfied?

It's interesting that there's close to a 50/50 ratio of Michelins to Bridgestones.

Talking Re: Michelin vs. Bridgestone: Are you satisfied?

I was very pleased when I took delivery on my TCH last week saw MXV4s on the wheels. I had these tires on my Maxima and got 60k in mileage before replacing them with Dunlops. Big mistake. Noise level up - gas mileage down. If your TCH came with Michelins, smile.

Same here. I'm satisfied with the handling, mpg, and quite ride. They do seem to be wearing at about 1/32 per 5,000 miles. I don't know if the wear rate will decrease or not as time goes by.

It looks like they will need replacing by 40K miles it holds. They were 10/32 when new and are now 9/32 after 5,200 miles.
