These tires came standard on both the Kia Proceed and my parents their DS7. Personally these tires are not Michelins best work. They handle and grip very good in both dry and wet conditions with good levels of road feedback. But the comfort levels are way below acceptable for a premium tire! They offer a harsh ride and make alot of noise in the cabin. This while the DS7 has special active scan suspension to even out every little bump in the road and has high levels of sound insulation and layered glass windows! Got rid of the Michelins on the Kia for the CC2. On the DS7 they were wore down after only 10000km! The dealership filed a complain with Michelin because alot of costumers have come in with the same problem.
