From day one they had a strange harmonic sound driving on smooth roads which was annoying. Tyre store said it was normal. Dry grip ok but not as good as the continentals they replaced and wet grip was terrible compared to the continentals. Worst thing is they started to show cracking after a few years along the edge and means they have to now be replaced before getting close to the tread wear indicators.

I have used this tire for years now but my most recent set has been great with all different driving types. I was able to lower the pressure comfortably for gravel roads though they are far from designed for this use. The rubber has dried and pressure can slowly be lost however with regular inflation and alignments they prove excellent for daily use.

Quiet, smooth, grippy ( haven't driven at highway speeds in the rain, but will mention in the 10k update ). & comfortable. Makes the car feel pretty sure footed at highway speeds & the quietness of the tyre is surprising. Cash back from Michelin. Pretty good value for a Premium tyre & I'll be interested to find out if they offer the same mileage as the tyres they replaced - Michelin Primacy 4. I got 45,000 km out of them & could have squeezed another few thousand, but erred on the side of safety. They are certainly a lot quieter than the Primacy 4. Very impressed so far & will update at 20,000 km.
