Hi all,
Having just bought a set of Michelin MXT, I thought it might be helpful to
post the complete sidewall info as the Michelin techs won't even have this
information to give out if you call them.  Please note that the MXT is
currently a limited release tire from Michelin, that is their stock is so low
that they are rationing them out 4 to a customer.  Tire Rack wants $91 and
Discount Tire Direct gets $75.  I found that Costco members can get mounting
and lifetime balance for $7/tire for new tires that you bring them that they
don't carry.  Here is a link listing all the tire Manufactures in the world
for those of you who are research hounds. <A
