Well, I've only had them on the car for a few weeks. I'm coming from Bridgestone Potenza S04s, which I really liked. I'd definitely buy them again if I lived in a warm region, I just needed something with more all-seasonable-ness. Those things are USELESS in a dusting of snow, and slip a lot in cold temps (feel like you're riding on shopping cart wheels), but that's not what they're made for. They're a summer tire.

Initial impression is that the Michelins are a softer, quieter ride, and the ultimate grip doesn't seem as high. Again, the trade-off you'd expect.

That said, I did run them on a track this past weekend, and I didn't necessarily feel they were crippling me. For an all season tire they definitely handled some pretty aggressive driving fairly well, and have plenty of grip for the occasional back road romp.

I really want to see how they do in the cold. That's why I bought them. If I ever get the opportunity, I'd like to see how they are in a very light snow, maybe drive it around my block.
