As a somewhat new member of TB, would like to hear feedback on the Micheling 275 tires. IND was selected to try out these tires starting in the fall of 2008. During that winter I (road dispatcher) heard nothing but complaints that the tires would not hold traction in the snow (and even heavy rain). The IND road drivers said that the compound was too hard and cold, allowing snow/ice to build up in the treads.
I forwarded these complaints to HRO, and was told that perhaps IND drivers needed to learn how to drive!!!!!!!, and that the LIT drivers loved these tires.
Number 1, I would put IND drivers up against anyone in the system. What I really would like to see is comments, both positive and negative, concerning these tires. Do not know if most do like these tires, or if it is just some more corporate bullcrap.
I wish I had known about TB last winter to ask for comments, but better late than never. Appreciate all comments. I know corporate bigshots monitor this forum from time to time, and if what I think I will see is correct, perhaps this certain individual at HRO will be forced to eat his words.
