Grand Touring All-Season run-flat tires provide temporary self-supporting run-flat mobility for a distance of 50 miles at up to 50 mph, even after a puncture has allowed complete air pressure loss. They are for drivers who want a combination of a sophisticated appearance, competent handling and H-speed rated (or higher) durability, along with all-season traction, including in light snow. Grand Touring All-Season run-flat tires branded with the M+S symbol and are often used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on sophisticated coupes and luxurious performance sedans.

O.E. Grand Touring All-Season run-flat tires are typically purchased as direct replacements for worn-out pairs/sets of the vehicle's original tires. They can also be used for other vehicle applications in complete sets of four or axle pairs if available in an appropriate size, load range and speed rating to match the existing O.E. run-flat tires' performance category and specifications.

NOTE: Run-flat tires are only recommended for vehicles that are originally equipped with self-supporting run-flat tires and equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system.

Though they cannot be labeled as run-flat tires, tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls offer run-flat-like characteristics by delivering limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture results in complete loss of air pressure. Because MOExtended or MOE tires do not have the same speed and distance endurance of conventional run-flat tires, they should not be substituted in any situation where a conventional run-flat tire is required. To confirm what your vehicle needs, check our Original Equipment tire listing for your year, make and model or see your vehicle owner's manual.

I have driven these tires in dry, wet and snow conditions. It capable of all road conditions in Chicago, even in some deep snow and ices, it feels safe...

I replace these tires for the factory conti ssr on my 335 xdrive. The original conti is very good however these MXM4 is just better. better in almost very area including better traction, sharper cornering and softer ride and less noise. I have driven these tires in dry,wet and snow conditions. It capable of all road conditions in Chicago, even in some deep snow and ices, it feels safe.
The only draw back is seems the tire have 1 less mile per gallon in gas, it might be due to change of driving behavior, but it is really don't hurt compare to all those gains i had. Over all, it is the best run flat i have driven on.

ps.I just went to the dealer for service, they measured the tire tread depth, seems it is also consume faster than the factory conti, but it does come with deeper thread then the conti ssr, so assume they have the same life.

...These Michelins resolve alot of the flaws of the Bridgestone. Sidewalls are softer, pot holes are not loud on impact, road noise has been reduced, and wet/dry traction has been improved significantly...

Only 300 Miles so far. These run flats replaced original Bridgestone EL42 run flats. The Bridgestone were garbage.

These Michelins resolve alot of the flaws of the Bridgestone. Sidewalls are softer, pot holes are not loud on impact, road noise has been reduced, and wet/dry traction has been improved significantly. You can barely tell these are run flats. Sure they are a tad stiffer then normal tires, but they are run flats.

Only 300 miles so far, will give another update after I use them in snow.

...Handling doesn't seem quite as sharp as the Goodyears, but the ride is MUCH improved, and the wet performance is great...

Early impressions are very positive- this is a significant upgrade for my X3 from the OEM Goodyears. Unfortunately, 3 of the 4 tires have higher than acceptable road force despite the original balancing and two trips to BMW, so I'm waiting for a response on replacements from Michelin.

Handling doesn't seem quite as sharp as the Goodyears, but the ride is MUCH improved, and the wet performance is great. Mileage has dropped a little (1mpg on average through 2.5 tanks), but it's an acceptable tradeoff given how well these perform. Hopefully the warranty replacement will go off without a hitch....

...Went on 900 mile trip to mountains with in snow, ice, rain, wind, and hot sun...

I needed a all season tire with run flat for my x3. This was the highest rated tire that met those two requirements. My experience thus far is close to what other reviewers have said. The tire has two weaknesses; turn in could be quicker and , yes, the ride could be smoother. Most run flats ride more firmly than non run flats and this is true of this tire to a smaller degree. On smoother highways or residential streets is smooth. On poorly surfaced roads, this tire will jiggle you mildly. On the plus side, it performs well in almost every performance category. And it is quiet.
Went on 900 mile trip to mountains with snow, ice, rain, wind, and hot sun. Overall, this tire is a winner for me.

...I don't have many miles on them and have not driven them in snow yet, but if they wear decently and provide reasonable snow traction I would by them again without reservation.

As run flats go, these are decent tires. Smooth, predictable, and settled is how I would describe their ride. They are good cruisers, both at moderate and high speeds (had them over 100 mph with no concerns or insecurities). What they are not, is sporty. That said, I have not met a run flat that is. They grip Ok and will get reasonable performance in regular or slightly spirited driving. Went on a 1,900 mile road trip that included plenty of moderate and heavy rain, and I felt extremely confident….extremely! Thumbs up on their wet weather performance.

I don’t have many miles on them and have not driven them in snow yet, but if they wear decently and provide reasonable snow traction I would by them again without reservation.

While I like the handling, the noise from the tread is annoying. Sounds like I have knobby tires for off roading. Rides well in wet or snow, so if you don't mind a little noise, good tires. I turn up my music to drown out the noise.

Bought to improve ride and noise. Very supple and quiet for runflat tires. Surprisingly good adhesion and steering response - better than original or replacement tires previously used on this car.

Very smooth, quiet riding tire. This is exactly the comfort one would expect from a Michelin product. I’ve had the experience of driving on all categories of tires being formally a team member of the TireRack organization. You will not be disappointed with this one.

...Barely any tread wear after a ye, great ride and handling...

Absolutely awesome run flats from Michelin, worth every penny! Barely any tread wear after a ye, great ride and handling. Finally put the run flat feature to the test just this weekend returning from FL through the North GA mountains. When I got in the car Monday am I had a low left rear tire indicator, looked at it and it looked just fine, went to a couple of local appointments and then to my tire place who put them on for me last year. 30 minutes later I was handed the FOUR INCH NAIL they extracted and repaired the hole it left. This aloe made the extra $$$ for the run flats (actually necessary as my BMW has no place for a spare) SO worth it!

...With almost 33 thousand miles there is actually a lot of treadwear left. I am going to replace these tires with the exact same tires as I find no flaw with them. Normally as tire get close to end of life they begin to get noisy and ride differently, I am not experiencing that with this tire...

I have has these tire OEM supplied on my Cadillac ATS Performance Model with the 3.6L engine. This car for its weight has a lot of power 323 hp so I find myself looking to push these tires, bottom line they stick and they wear really well and you have the piece of mind that they are also run flat tires. With almost 33 thousand miles there is actually a lot of treadwear left. I am going to replace these tires with the exact same tires as I find no flaw with them. Normally as tire get close to end of life they begin to get noisy and ride differently, I am not experiencing that with this tire. I will be ordering a new Z06 which will come with Michelin tires which pleases me very much. I will put new OEM tires on my ATS before I sell it so the new owner can have the great experience I have had.

...The tires made it past 70k miles, with still a little ways to go before the wear bars, but one picked up a nail near the side wall, so I'm replacing all 4. I am especially pleased by how they stayed quiet and smooth-riding through their entire life. I checked the alignment once a year or so, but wasn't especially diligent about rotating them, and they still wore evenly...

Exceeded my expectations, especially for a run flat tire. Had the set for 2 years, 9 months on a 2016 328i. The tires made it past 70k miles, with still a little ways to go before the wear bars, but one picked up a nail near the side wall, so I'm replacing all 4. I am especially pleased by how they stayed quiet and smooth-riding through their entire life. I checked the alignment once a year or so, but wasn't especially diligent about rotating them, and they still wore evenly. Have also driven with one flat, on two occasions, and it did very well: first time, for about 30 miles of highway driving. 2nd time, only 10 miles or so of surface streets. (1st was replaced under the road hazard warranty - a smooth and painless process, btw. This second time, we're out of the 2 year warranty period, so I'm replacing all four.) I know many folks think run-flats are harsh, or somehow inferior to "normal" tires, but I would not describe these Michelins that way. For a mostly-highway commuter car (100 miles per day) they're outstanding, and I'm happily buying another set to replace them.
