I too have historically been a fan of Michelin tires. I recently bought a 2014 Lexus RX 350 with Michelin Premier LTX tires. They are quiet, ride and handle really well. However, when you check the reviews on www.tirerack.com there are MANY complaints on tread life. The BF Goodrich Advantage T/A Sport LT is the top rated tire for our vehicle by both Tirerack and America's Tire.
