Michelin...better quality brands in general.

Michelin is a brand to AVOID in bike tires - had one that the tread came apart in a couple hundred miles, only a couple months old.

Never had anything like that happen with the Bell brand tires, nor Kenda or Panaracer.

Also had a Continental severely damaged by road debris.

And one Bell that got a ¼" nick out of the tread.

Based on my experience over the past four years, my tire preferences are: Kenda, Bell and Panaracer - depending only on price and availability.
