I do like this tire has excellent traction during summer months when it's dry steering and handling are exceptional and they are pretty quiet even when it's wet like when it rains it has awesome traction but during winter light snow alright a little bit of Ice there alright but deep snow not good at all mostly because my car is rear wheel drive I would like a tire that rides really comfortable and also has exceptional traction both wet or dry also something that'll be better in the snow

This tire is so much better than the factory Michelin's. If I would have had an idea they were this good I wood had trashed the Michelin's long ago. They have dramatically improved traction in all conditions with the biggest improvement being in the wet and light snow. The Michelin's were so bad I considered them unsafe, my wife noticed the difference the first time it rained. When I'm by myself I am an extremely aggressive driver and I love the improved cornering and braking with the Bridgestone's, actually everything. The only drawback is they need to be rotated regularly or they start to develop a lot of road noise. If your like me and consider your tires to be a key safety component on your car, you will appreciate these tires.

After 55,000 on this set of Symmetrys, I traded in my Cadillac. These tires were bought, because the OEM Michelin Symmetrys went 98,000 miles! These tires were wonderful. The Cadillac suspension is very precise because of the construction of the suspension pieces. There is no variance or slop and play in the suspension. For that reason, the tires can work as they were designed, and last an incredibly long time. In fact, they are so good, I couldn't tell you what I paid for them. In other words, Quality is long remembered after the price is forgotten.

great tire for CTS-V, better wear than PS2, very close in raw performance to the PS2 at a much better price. The wear factor should be about 50-60% better. The only issue that I have noticed is a slight steering "on center" issue, where the Pilot S/S wants more steering input to move off center. This might be a vehicle alignment problem, but I didn't check the alignment upon installation of the S/S as the tires that were removed had near perfect wear pattern. I rotate tires at each oil/filter change. I would recommend this tire to anyone looking for Michelin quality and performance. No buyers remorse here

I purchased these replacements for the oem Goodyear LS tires when my Cadillac STS hit 70,000 miles. I drive the STS with alacrity through the pot holed, cracked, cratered, and earthquake-heaved streets and freeways of greater LA, as well as on extended road trips / ski trips throughout the mountainous regions of the western states, and I found the oem LS goodyears to be an appropriately balanced tire for those varied conditions.

Therefore, I was seeking replacement tires having similarly broad and balanced capabilities.


Following a significant amount of research (tire rack & the mfgr websites), I selected the comfort tread goodyears and have been delighted with the results.

As compared to the oem Goodyear LS tires, or the comparable Micheliens, I've noted two elements of notable difference:

1). The comfort treads have slightly slower turn-in response which I attribute to the more flexible sidewalks. While this would be problematic on a sports car, this is a minor issue for a heavy fwd sedan.

2). The comfort treads are able to very effectively attenuate road noise transmission. I ran the oem LS tires at 35 lbs, and am doing the same with the 18 month old (15,000 miles) comfort treads. Upon instalation, I requested the installer to inflate all four tires to 35 lbs cold. However, after 5 minutes on the freeway heading home from the installer, I exited the familiar freeway to check the tire pressures again fully convinced by the remarkedly reduced road noise inside the already very quiet STS that the new tires were under inflated by at least 5 lbs. lo and behold, both my ears and tire gauge we're consistent: the new comfort treads were very effectively reducing noise and ride harshness. Simply amazing.

The STS's favorite cruising speed is 85 mph, which we're able to do for hours at a time on I-15 through southeast Utah in various weather comditioms. Wander and "nibble" are minimal, so the new comfort tread tires are superb all weather touring tires.

These tires came with my Cadillac and have provided excellent wear and performance. There is still quite a lot of tread remaining and they do not show any cracks. However one of the tires has developed a annoying whomping sound like it has a flat spot and a scrubbing feeling while turing and accelerating. The whomp is especially noticable at city speeds (30 to 40 MPH). I had the dealer balance and rotate the tires but it just moved the noise to another part of the car. I had an independent mechanic inspect them and he affirmed that the was a high spot in one of the tires. These tires have a lot of tread on them however I find that I have to replace them if I am to enjoy the quiet and smooth ride of this Cadillac.

second season on these tires, when they were brand new I was wondering, but into the second season they are exceeding my expectations in all areas of winter driving. They are also an excellent highway tire on very cold roads. When we had the goodyear rsa's on the car, for winter driving, we thought there was something wrong with the car. With the Michelen's, winter is just as enjoyable as summer. So far tread wear appears to be excellent.

Replaced Good Year Eagle LS with 67,000 miles on them. Only have put 2,200 on these so far but really nice tire for the price and made in USA. But have already driven in snow and rain with them and have a really nice grasp on the pavement. Little softer ride than the Eagle LS but that is exactly what i wanted to help cushion some of the ride that the 20's give up. Love the tread pattern very nice, not a lot of ratings out yet on these so i gambled a bit but glad i did! Better in the snow than i expected and much better than the Eagle LS ever was. Will report back once i have more miles logged.

I installed these tires on my 1965 289 Mustang along with a new set of American Racing Torq Thrust chrome wheels. I have 225 45 ZR 17s on the front on 17x7 wheels and 235 45 ZR 17s on the rear on 17x8 wheels. What a huge difference over the 15x7 wheels and off-brand tires on the car before! The biggest difference I see is in the turn-in rate. These tires really turn quickly. The car also stops more quickly. And the ride is fantastic for a 17" tire. They are not harsh at all over bumps and on a recent 100-mile round trip where we drove on a 4-lane US highway, they rode so smoothly.
In addition to all of that, the price on these tires is very appealing. They also have a great sidewall appearance and tread appearance. And this may or may not matter to some of you but these tires take Armor All (and other such products) very well. They are as shiny as any tires I have ever seen. That is of great importance to me.
I have had BF Goodrich tires for many years and believe their quality is unbeatable for the price. They are especially well known for their high-performance image and that is a big reason I chose this tire for my Mustang. I like Michelin tires a lot and have them on my Cadillac and my wife's Kia but Michelin does not seem to fit the high-performance mold I desire in a tire for the Mustang.
So I would highly recommend these tires. I have a 2004 Corvette which still has its original tires but when and if I do have to replace them, I will DEFINITELY install the BF Goodrich g-Force Sport Comp 2 tires. You can't beat them on a high-performance car.
Thank you for reading this review.

Drive mostly city, can not beat these treads for their winter traction on snow, ice or rain. Surprisingly quiet tire that gives a soft ride commensurate to my Caddy. On my long private drive I use these tires mostly for squashing squirrels and other random critters. These Conti's can pancake a rodent in one pass while not spilling a full cup of coffee on the console. I am totally sold on these road killers.

This is my 3rd set of 18" tires on my CTS I was able to get 35K on the OEM Bridgestone Potenzas which I was happy with but I wanted to try the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after reading some possitive reviews. I had them put on at 72K miles on the car right before I took a driving vacation from S. Florida to Western N. Carolina. These tires were awesome on those tight steep mountain roads. Back home here in Florida we have had a very rainy year and it rains very hard here. I do not have to slow down on the expressway during a heavy rain these tires are that good. I now have close to 89K on the car (16K on the tires) and the tread looks like new. I can easily imagine getting 50,000 miles on these tires. I don't think they look as nice as the Potenzas but they certainly make up for that in other areas.

Purchased these tires to replace Michelin OEM's. This is a much better tire in every catagory. Even though I live in a snow receiving area, I have not yet driven them in winter weather. If they perform in the snow as they have in the wet/rain, I will be most impressed. Overall, this is a very impressive tire.

Put a set of these on my 08 CTS and have been very pleased. With the traction control on, it is hard to know the full capacity of the any tires, these included. The car and tires do all that I ask of them.
The ride and noise control are both excellent and I am very happy with the tires. Excellent tire and a good price.

I now have 50K on these tires and there is plenty of tread left. In fact, I just purchased new ones and are installing the old ones on my sons car, as he is just starting out from college. I've rotated them every 6K, and the tread life is excellent. Quiet ride, pretty good snow traction here in the northeast. Highly recommend these tires. Plus the fast delivery from tire rack and great prices are a no brainer.

I live in upstate New York and I put these tires on to replace my old BF Goodrich g-force tires. The performance is the same on a dry surface. In the rain this tire is hands down the better product. I take this car through hills everyday to work and it hugs the road. Their is little to no tire chirp when coming across the intersections. Tons of grip. These tires are very quite as well. Much quitter on the highway. I only had these for 2 months. I will write another review to update the tire life.

OEM tires for my 2005 Cadillac STS V8 and were the worst tires I've ever owned.....and that's saying a lot because I am a comitted "Michelin Man / Fan". Horrible traction - even dry not great, but wet and you were all over the place and snow and ice? Forget it. The car stayed in the garage. Worst part for me was the noise and harshness of the ride. I'm driving a $60,000 car and it felt and sounded like I was in a compact car. Simply horrible - loud, rough and you felt every bump. Unfortunately since I have the V8, there aren't a lot of options from which to choose as the front and rear tires are different sizes. Fortunately I Bridgestone Turanza Serenity are made in this size - although they aren't advertised as a matching set. You had to look for them separately. I've got about 3,000 miles on the new tires and it's night and day. So much smoother and QUIETER !!!! I feel like I'm actually driving a Cadillac again.
Sorry Michelin - almost every other set of tires I've had in cars and SUV's have been Michelin - but these MXM4's simply ----.
