Hey guys and gals, I wanted to share my recent opportunity.

I was given the chance to try out the new Michelin Edgeliners in my 2014 Ram 1500 Crew Cab Sport to give a run down of my thoughts on them. These floor liners were released in early June, adding another option of floor protection from the elements to the mix. The box they arrived in was as custom as the floor liners themselves, with a slim thick-walled box with lots of print of the product itself. The liners were packed well and secured well within the box.

Upon removing them from the box my thoughts were they felt nice, durable and like a solid product. The grooves and channels appeared deep, leaving enough room to capture a good amount of dirt and liquid. My only complaint aesthetically, was with the badging on the floor liners. The driver side floor liner had a nice silver, eye catching badging, where as the passenger side and rear mats lacked this. To me, it should have been all or nothing; however, I don't believe its going to be a deal changer to anyone.

The installation instructions were straight forward and simple. The total install took less than 15 minutes. The floor liners were also shipped with caps to be used to close any unused holes where the factory retention systems would be used to secure the liner. This made sure the carpeting below was protected from anything trying to drain through the unused openings.

The floor liners fit well in both foot wells of driver's and passenger's side. They offer nice protection along the backs and edges with the ability to contain a lot of debris. One complaint I have after the install is with the lip that lays on the door sill trim. I felt it kind of wedged itself upwards. It has caught my foot a few times on the driver side since the install; however, it did not cause the liner to move or dump anything out. My wife on the passenger side hasn't complained about it. This may eventually relax, but I am not sure if it'll be enough. The rear floor liner fit very well. There was a bit of tightness around the edge of the front console. It wasn't anything to cause great concern. Again it had nice protection along the backs and edges to contain anything your kids or rear passengers throw at it.

After I installed the Michelin Edgeliners, I compared them to a set of Weathertech Digitalfit floor liners. The Weathertechs were a bit thinner and lighter and the grooves and channels were not as deep, all leaving a little more to be desired. The fit of the front foot liners, as compared to the Michelin Edgeliners, was pretty much the same. Some of the edges on the Weathertechs were a bit higher, adding a bit more protection. The Weathertech front floor liners did fit smoother and more streamline at the door sills leaving no protruding edge. The Weathertech rear liner fit pretty much the same as the Michelin Edgeliners. The same tightness could be found along the edge of the front console. The edges of the Weatherech rear liners were not as high as the Michelin Edgeliners. I felt the Michelin Edgeliners would provided more protection in this instance.

Overall, I think the Michelin Edgeliners are a great product. I think they offer great protection. They definitely offer more volume within the grooves and channels to store debris and liquids that you may track in. When comparing pricing of all the floor liners using autoanything.com, unfortunately, the Michelin Edgeliners are the more expensive option they offer; however, the quality may prove to offset this. Now onto some photographs of these floor liners:

I have a similar liner and I think those edges that are over the step panel ( only in the front ) are supposed to tuck under the plastic for a seamless look. Yours might be different but you can try it.

 

I agree with Arctodus on looks like hte edges are suppose to tuck under the trim.

I have Weathertech digital fits in the front of my ram, and love them for the snow. (Had a set in my Dakota)
Personally I dont like these ones because of the grooves, I put generic deep groove mats on them. As they are alot easier to get out to empty then trying to unclip these. these are for extra protection, and the generic mats not get everything either.

Either way both do what they should, I think Husky also has a set.

What is the cost on them? Thats the big question for me.

Checked the site, I would say not worth the price when compared to Husky or Weathertech. They do have deeper grooves then the others, which is good if you only intent to use them. But for me I dump snow/water out to much to deal with unclipping them so much.

 

I agree, that would make sense; unfortunately, they are different. There is a bit too much material for it to flex and fit that way. I double checked to make sure I didn't miss something like that after you pointed it out.

What liners did you go with?

 

I bought mine off of amazon and they have the Ram logo on them. They look pretty sweet.
