I meant for $1000, I mistyped!

No I am NOT getting ripped off. YOU are! Buying PETROLEUM! My Nissan Leaf has 17" wheels so new tires are kinda pricey! But I bought a new set shortly after I purchased it in 2016 too, and new Michelins are fantastic!

That's still way too much for tires for a Leaf.

Michelins are expensive regardless of size. However they perform very
well and give more than twice the mileage of other tires. My wife put
Michelins on her Toyota CJ and they got 110,000 miles and will be
getting another set shortly. The original factory installed tires
didn't get 30,000.
My 1965 Triumph TR4 came in with Michelins and the dealer said they
would add $500 to the price of the car. At the time I didn't know
about Michelin tires, never heard of them. At that time the Triumph
cost under $3,000 so I slept on it and the next morning I told the
dealer I'll pay for the Michelins. At that time no one knew what a
steel belted radial was. I drove that car hard for five years and
those tires were still in great shape when I sold it with nearly
150,000 miles on those Michelins.

The Michelins I got on my CRV weren't very expensive. The year I spent
working on a road crew we had to pick up a lot of blown tires. That was
1978-79 and Michelins were expensive high end. We picked up more dead
Michelins than all other brands combine.

Remember the tires of the 50s and early 60s. Every car had a spare tire
and they were used frequently. Tires didn't last the way they do now.
You'd be lucky to get 10,000 mile s out of a tire.

Tire performance is measured by different metrics. Michelins give more
mileage because they are harder rubber and thus do not perform as well in
terms of traction.

In my books, paying extra for tires that do not last as long is
preferable because no amount of money saved is worth the risk of
increasing the probability & severity of an automobile accident.

Maybe you don't consider human life to be as important as most of us.

I've been avoiding Michelins since the 80's. People say they're high mileage tires but I've never found that to be the case. I prefer an Asian tire rather than these French branded tire. My guess is that I don't care much for the French but I'm willing to give them another chance if someone pays me to do it. The tires that came with my Toyota are Michelins. They'll probably need to be changed soon - sacre bleu!

My last two Asian cars came from the factory in Korea with Michelins.
Got about 35,000 miles on the first one, probably will do that on this
one too.

Not their Pilots.Â* They are OEM on my car but I went with Pirelli Zeros
for 2/3'rds the price and a much longer tread wear.

Oh NO it's not! My Leaf would out-torque your ICE engine any dry day! 0-1000ft! And I'd bet MONEY on it to!

I'd love to take you up on that. Because you'd lose that money, 100%.
Instead of being a ****ing moron forever, why not google some facts
before opening your stupid mouth?

Nissan Leaf/Acceleration 0-100 km/h: 7.9 seconds
ROTFL!


Even a boring old Toyota Camry kicks your stupid Leaf's ass, LOL:

How fast does a Toyota Camry go from 0 to 60?
5.8 sec
In 2017, we tested a Camry XSE with the V-6, and it logged a
5.8-second 0-60 run.

17" wheels are common and the tires are cheap.Â* What size do you have -
it's on the receipt?Â* Try pricing some low profile 21" runflats.Â* I
dread it every time it comes up.
