What owners say
<p>Average dry grip , super wet grip....very low wear.Good comfort, but quite noisy on rough asphalt...basicly my only complain.I have never drived more noisy tyres in my life.</p>
<p>Greece with scorching temps and warm summer. Mix of highway and country roads.
Generally a nice tyre with long life, I did approx 60k KM (have 2 sets summer/winters) so maybe +/- 5%. Most probably is a very good tyre for majority of people, safe also even after 50k KM!
Good on dry and generally felt nice even on the warmest days 40c
Decent on wet, not wow! not comparable with conti PC6 for example! Especially after 45k KM you fill a drop of performance, PC6 though will never last so much.
It drives good on wet but few times that I had to brake hard it didnt felt nice, same on stip hills when I start or have to accelerate.
Not sporty or direct feeling. Drives close to my winter hankook icept (till temps</p>
<p>I hated these tyres from the start as they were extremely noisy on my Skoda Yeti. I got a puncture in one rith away as they are quite soft and it was not repairable so I bought a pair mid-range replacements. They were much quieter and performed better too so I got two more and sold on the Michelins with only 4000+ miles on them. Will never buy Michelin again.</p>
<p>In reality overall tyre performance is down to the driver of the car.I am not a fast driver but try to keep to the speed limit if conditions allow.</p><p>The tyres didn't not appear to loose pressure.</p><p>I live on the Gloucester, Hereford and Worcester and the road conditions are quite frankly in certain areas are dangerous. My tyres do handle the road conditions extremely well.</p><p>I run the tyre pressures at 36 psi all round at have achieved 61 mpg but my wife was not speaking to me during our journey !</p><p>Generally on a good journey I achieve 50 + and I believe much of that comes down to tyre choice.The car was fitted with Perrelli tyre from the factory and in all honesty no issues with them but I do prefer the Michelin product.</p>
<p>These tyres are just average in good dry weather, but when it gets cold and mildly damp, they behave like cheap budget tyres and I just lose all confidence in them. They rate really well on paper, but they are absolutely awful. I can’t wait to replace them which at 12k miles it would appear won’t be long.</p>
