I bought a set of 4 lug Mahles today and they came with new 195/60R15 Warrior tires. I googled them and discovered they are made by Michelin China. Other than that I know nothing about them.
Anybody know anything about them? Attached image(s)

Yeah......my son has them on his 1973 bay window bus, he has had them on the bus for about 3 years now. They were bought at Discount Tires and the least expensive tires available. Good tires for the money, not performance, just average use tires.

I have those on my wifes Hyundia Elantra, only real problem I have with them is that on the freeways here that have the grooves in them, the car wants to wander about and feels squirmy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It feels like I'm moving the steering wheel side to side...on smooth/normal freeways, no issues.
I don't think I'd buy them again, but if you've already paid for them, just run them unless you really plan on pushing your car. |

Yeah, I went out for a some 'tire testing' and they felt a little twitchy, but I'v been used to 165/65/15 bicycle tires from when I got the car. This rubber was a throw in with the wheels so I can't go wrong til I'm ready to upgrade. they are brand new, still had their nubbies. |
