Michelin Predators
« on: August 03, 2005, 02:55:17 pm »
Does anyone have any opinions on the Michelin Predators from Canadian Tire, I was quoted today $370.00 for four new tires and thought they might be worth it, but I thought they might also crappy, so I'm also looking at some Sigma's from a local dealer.  
Thoughts, advice, previous experience with the predators ?

You mean the Motomaster Predator GTS?  Who pitched those as Michelins to you?  Definitely false and misleading if the store did that (though it is possible that Michelin-Uniroyal-Goodrich made them).

I haven't heard anything positive about them.
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow - who wouldn't love the internal combustion engine?  ;D

Yeah, I think the guy on the phone said they were made by Michelin, probably FOR Motomaster I'm assuming now, anyways I think I will take a pass.

I'm liking the looks of these Sigma Regents and I've heard a few positive things about them.

Thanks

Accord if your budget is tight and you can confirm they are Michelin  made....maybe NOT such a bad idea....I had a set of MotoMaster LXR's on my old Mitsubishi and they were great for everyday use...got free rotations and 2 nail punctures were fixed free...NOT everyone has $800 up fer a set of 4......reconsider or check with Morty...maybe some deals for only a few bucks more......

PS just saw "selling car next year thread below....read it too...."
