Blizzard of '13, tires made mincemeat out of 235 mile drive from NYC to Vermont on the Taconic Parkway. Left right as it was kicking up 2PM, and passed 7 accidents, 1 overturned car, and a dozen who couldn't find enough traction to make it up hills. Easy cruise at avg 45mphs all the way there. Me and the family we're skiing Saturday morning!

Tires came as OE on my Acura TSX. The reviews had me concerned with having to replace these tires soon. After 33K miles I still have 6/32 left in them. Very quiet tires with respectable grip for everyday driving. For very spirited driving (i.e., canyon carving) I would probably look at something else but for the daily commute, they are hard to beat.

I drove them 17000 miles and took them back for exchange. They would skip, breaking traction accelerating while turning. They tended to hydroplane a little too easily for my comfort. And then in snow, they were dreadful. Every other vehicle got moving faster off a light than my car. I am used to being the first one rolling, putting it in 2nd gear and slipping the clutch out slowly. That was enough, I took them back that day and had another set . I was completely disappointed in the Bridgestones and they are the worst tire I've ever owned. Conversely, the Continentals are the best.

These tires are an excellent combination of wet and dry performance. The only negative so far is that they thump when cold for a few miles after starting out. They are the best snow performing all season tires I have ever had. They grip well in dry cornering with just a hint of looseness at their limit. Excellent for the price.

Replaced a set of 205/50/15 BFG Gforce super sports, which were dead after 40k miles. I have 20k miles on the michelins and they still look brand new. Wear is nice and even. Comfy on the freeway and relatively quiet as well. Majority of my driving is 70+miles/day on the freeway. When cruising around town I drive them pretty hard though; hard cornering, hard stopping, fast acceleration off the line. Havent had any problems in the rain. No snow/ice where I live. I'm expecting at least 50-60k miles out of this set of tires, and if that happens, I'll buy them again.

Really impressed by this tire! I've only had it for a short while but it has not failed to get me out of a few messy snow days here in Canada. I'm not sure what all the comments are regarding dry traction but perhaps it's your driving or car that's the issue. I have no problems with dry traction and control on my TSX. In comparision to Observe Garits, W.Drives, XSi2, and W60s, these are really good!

Less milage than original Latitude tires. Went by tire rack ratings. I have not been disappointed. Just expected better tread life.

Great tire for all driving conditions in an Ontario winter.

I've had this tire for two seasons now (I switch off with high performance winter tires), and I'm very happy with the handling characteristics of this tire. My only complaint is the road noise. Maybe it's due to the setup of my car, but I feel like my winter tires are quieter than this tire, which is unusual (it's usually the other way around).

I rotate my tires every 6000 miles. Keep them properly inflated. Make sure they are properly mounted, balanced and alligned. Easy on curves and avoid pot holes. Easily an 80000 mile tire if taken care of and not abused.

After extensive research, I settled on these tires looking for comfort and performance. These are great! So comfortable, but extremely responsive. They don't take away from the performance of my car. These are the best feeling tires I've ever driven on. They look great too. I've gotten them up to 90 with no vibration or unstability, and they roll beautifully. They have a very low rolling resistance. I'm expecting better gas mileage due to the low rolling resistance. I can definitely tell the car is roiling smoothly. M car feels new again! This is the third set of tires I've had on my car, and so far, I'm very happy with my choice. They are a little pricy, but worth it. If you want maximum ride enjoyment, get these tires. Michelin is the best brand period. They are extremely quiet too. They absorb a lot o the little bumps in the road and decrease cabin vibration. When I talk on Bluetooth, I don't have to raise my voice anymore. :-). Don't mistake my comfort analysis for a deceprease in performance. They are very agile and responsive, and hence my excitement for the overall completeness of this all season performance tire. The w speed rating of this tire lives up to its category. If you have a type s like me get this tire. I'm a spirited driver and I am in tune with all of my car's movements and mechanicals. I'm also very picky about the quality of my ride.

This tire has great snow and ice traction for a non studded tire. I have driven through numerous snow storms in the mountains of Vermont with these tire on a front wheel dive car and never had a problem getting where I wanted to go. These tire are also very good in dry conditions as well. They handle extremely well for a winter tire and feel like a summer performance tire in dry conditions.

OME and recently turned 88,000 miles and my Acura dealer said I have at least 30% treadwear remaining. Awesome tires!

Tire lasted as many miles as I expected it. Sidewall started to show signs of cracking at 40,000 miles. What amazed me was how quiet they stayed through their entire life. I have never had tires do that before. I can see why Acura selected them as OEM (or at least the similar MXM4).

I am really enjoying this tire so far. Need about 10,000 more miles to know if the tires are lasting well.

Good ride quality and low road noise, slightly number steering feel. Can't comment on treadwear or inclement weather performance yet.
