I know...I hate to buy French. But the tires are good.

Had he been wearing a PFD, he may have lived.

Michelin makes a damn fine tire. But apparently, a much too fragile Edouard.

Okay. They're cheaper.
How about some Interco Super Swamper Boggers?

From Forbes:
The circumstances of the shipwreck were still unexplained.
'Nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything. The sea was calm, but there was a thick fog that didn't lift until the middle of the day,' a spokesman for the Atlantic maritime prefecture said.
Edouard Michelin's body was found in the water near the island of Sein, off the coast of Finisterre in northwest France.
Police were still searching for the body of a local official who was with Michelin in the boat.

"Interco Super Swamper Boggers"!!!!
No swampers for my truck ... too loud and don't forget, your fender needs to cover the entire tire or you don't get an inspection sticker.
Cooper ATR's are fine for my Dodge Ram CTD and the Lifeliner II's for my Jetta.

Yep. I've got a set on my truck that have over 65,000 miles on them and they've got at least another 20k of tread on them. Expensive--and, yes, French--but amazingly long-lived.

Michelin makes a damn fine tire.Hubby says he was a good guy. This from someone not really fond of the French.

Didn't Michelin make use of US POWs in Vietnam on their rubber plantations? I seem to remember my dad saying this when I was a kid, at the same time he admonished me to not buy Michelin tires.
To: rightinthemiddle
I had Michelins on a Taurus wagon for 80k miles(about the lifetime of that crapmobile) they still had a lot of tread left.It's about the only good thing the frenchies make.
