My experience with Michelins has been very positive. I have a 2010 RX-350 AWD and still have the original tires after 58000 miles. The last time I was at Lexus for service I asked them to comment on the condition of the tires and they said I still had plenty of tread left - lol! I should note that most of the miles are highway miles. I do believe that the wet traction is not as good as it was when they were new, but I guess that is to be expected. They continue to be a quiet tire on the highway. When I replace these - I will get the same ones again.
