We purchased a 2002 CR-V with 58,000 miles on it. The original owner had replaced the original tires with Bridgestone Dueler tires that had about 18,000 miles on them. I love the vehicle, but the road noise was ridiculous. I decided according to the reviews online and Consumer Reports to buy Michelin X radials and see if they made a difference. They are the best tires I have ever owned! The CR-V is quieter now, and the ride quality is better than before too. Plus I have noticed that the wet traction is also much improved. These are excellent tires - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
