I worked for Michelin for 12 years. Those LTX M/S tires are probably made in Nova Scotia at one of the best plants in the world for quality. I ran them on my AWD Astro Vans I used to rock when the kids were toddlers. Very nice tires but very expensive. If you can afford them I doubt you could do much better. I personally wouldn't pay the premium for Michelins (but I used to get them for free or at employee prices). Michelin invested a ton of money and knowledge into the BF Goodrich and Uniroyal plants after they bought them. One of my projects was to modify equipment and process in the BFG/Uni plants to make Michelin brand tires on their more efficient equipment. Those brands are where the value is.
