Michellin's came on the car from the factory.Most of them came with V-rated tires but you can put H rated tires on instead.

They have changed it recently.The are putting pirelli's on lately.The only of the newer cars that had come with them from the factory were The C70's and the XC70.Which those tires were very poor tires.The dealers were changing them to michellin's after many complaints about how the car drove.They were out of round all the time.The factory must have gotton a huge shipment of no so good tires.

Let me be the first to inform you Tech...............Michellin XGT V4's have got to be the worse tyre I have ever owned in 45 years of buying tyres!!! After three sets of them I can assure you that they will wear out in a nanno second, they have no traction, they are noisy, and worse of all, they track where ever they want to! After the first ones wore out, I figured it was my agressive driving style, after the second set went, the dealer felt sorry for me. I still use Michellin Alpins on my two winter autos...................

You are one of very few I have heard complaining about the michellins.Most people want michellins put back on there car when they wear out.I have not heard many complaints about them.It also depends on driving and the car they are on.They also worked very good on my Mustang and lasted many miles.Still have them sitting in the garage.Waiting to go back on.
