Add me to the growing list of unhappy Michelin tire owners. My X-one tires were the hardest riding tires I've owned in over 25 years. Acted like I had snow tires on. Of course as anyone who has dealt with Michelin would know they did not respond to my complaint.
I believe Michelin is living off a reputation where at one time they made quality tires. That way they can produce low cost tires and sell at a premium thus maximizing their profit. You have to spent a ridiculous amount to get their quality tires now (ex. MXV4 Energy), in order to get the quality all their tires once had.
