Had these tyres on the car since it was brand new, so havent had the chance to compare other tyres on this car, but i've gotta say I was definately impressed with the amount of traction it gave and for so long. Previously i would have said that getting nearly 100,000km out of a tyre would mean a rubbish low-grip tyre. There were a number of times where i wasnt so gentle with these tyres either, especially on gravel roads and the occational 'moment of inspiration' on a good old country road. They handle well on tarmac in both dry and wet. They do tend to squeal a bit more than expected on low speed turns such as round-a-bouts without driving agressively. I also found them to be reasonably noisy, although could also be a lack of good sound insulation in the car. Had them rotated every 10,000km at my service and they've served me very well.

Great tyre's. When I bought the car in 1997 these tyre were on them. They lasted 50k miles. Never had any problems with them, performance is great, lower fuel consumption, low noise and very comfy on road. Only minus is that they make squealing noise in corners during summer but I've used to it.
First michelin lasted 9 years and now I bought same tyres again.
I'm using the in winter also, since they are all season tyre but you need to be very careful driver cause grip is not so good on snow.

Came standard on our Citroen C3 2008, 2 years on the car drove from Sardinia Italy to Dublin Ireland after the ash cloud last June now in Dublin and it's November, Deepest snow in my 40 odd years being alive. 8", 20cm. and some compact to ice, and I'm still going strong, I am amazed for such a standard tire, the grove pattern is very cleaver, Excellent all year round tire. If you want an all year tire, you won't be far wrong getting there. I have 20,00km 16,000 miles on these tires and they still look new.
