Are Michelin tires really French owned, and would you buy them?

Tony your tires look great on your truck. What is the size with the 315's? 32" 33"? I'm limited with the dually, because of the rears. I know a few members have gone to 255's with the dually wheels but it does not look that much different in the pictures I have seen, have not seen any 255's on a dually in person. I do have plenty of time to decide since I only have 10K miles on the OEM's and won't be changing until they wear out.

They are 315s. Since I was putting the the MT/Rs on anyway, I had go bigger. Even the boys at the Goodyear store were a bit surprised that they fit so well without a lift.

Wild Turkey is made by Austin Nichols company in Kentucky as is Evan Williams. George Dickel, and of course, the world famous Jack Daniels is made here in Tennessee. The good, untaxed stuff comes from various sources in the hills. Stolichnaya mmmmmmmm is made in Russia. Guinness -double mmmmmmmm- is made in Ireland. Tennessee also has 25 or so wineries, but Missouri makes the best Norton/Cynthiana wines. Whoops wrong thread.



Tires: I am quite impressed by the wear/ride characteristics of the high-dollar Michelins on my truck (the steer axle tires have 79000 on them) and might actually replace them with same. They do SUK bad off road, so I might shop around. Keep the alternatives coming.

Cooper makes good "all American" tires at a resonable price. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
