Pros: The safest tire I have ever had underneath my bottom.
Cons: I honestly cannot think of any cons for these tires.
The Bottom Line: Without a doubt the best decision is to purchase the more expensive, but far superior Michelin tires due to better performance, safety and durability.

| dekunz's Full Review: Michelin Cross Terrain SUV Truck/SUV Tire |
I am just now approaching the need to replace my Michelin Cross Terrain tires on my 2002 GMC Yukon Denali XL vehicle after an amazing 89,000 miles (P265/70 R 17 113S M+S). I have lived and driven my truck in Florida for 3.5 years and bought the Denali in Illinois and drove it there for four years. I have driven in some of the most extreme conditions in those two environments (massive snow/slush in Illinois and monsoon rains and heat in Florida) and these tires provided an incredible amount of stability and road-hugging confidence. I have had to have extracted a number of nails and screws from the tires, without any flat, and am confident that many others were thrown away from the tire by the massive tread the tires have. They also rarely needed to have air added when in that condition. These tires have provided the safest ride in any vehicle I have ever owned. I cannot recommend them any more highly than I do now. They are worth every dollar!
The difference between the Michelin tires and the competitors can be summarized by my neighbor's decision to replace his nearly identical Yukon Denali original Michelin tires with a cheaper competitor. He has experienced a flat tire for the first time since he bought the truck and the tires look like bicycle tires compared to mine. And they are wearing much quicker than the Michelin tires. He wishes he replaced them with the original Michelin brand.
