Michelin DH tires are not what they use to be like back in the 2000's
Rating:
The Good
Traction and the cool looking Michelin logo on the side walls.
The Bad
One tire was defective with a wobble, the side walls split and dry crack within 6 months and there heavier than most DH tires.
Overall Review:

I've been riding and racing DH since the mid 2000's. And Michelin's DH 16, 24 and 32 tires were absolutely amazing back them. So, I got amped when I found out that Michelin was coming back into the DH scene with new tires.  Boy, what a letdown. Ordered a new set of the DH34's and after I mounted them and spun the wheels. One of the tires and a BIG wobble. Like, I don't understand how Michelin's QA inspection missed this. While the tires offer great traction on all types of terrain. They are a bit on the heavy side compared to Maxxis, Continentals, and Schwalbe's DH casing tire offerings. And then after a few months, they started to dry crack. Especially on the side walls. And I'm not talking small cracks. The side wall cracks go around the whole tire! It got to the point we're I was afraid to even ride on them anymore. I was afraid to hit a berm at high speeds and the tire would just shred apart. I won't ever try Michelin tires again.  I'll give them 2 stars only because their traction was great across the board. But one was defective on arrival and they totally fell apart after very little use.
