My tire is Pilot HX-MXM4, 245-40-R18-93V M+S. The tire is on My 2009 MB300E4matic. The front driverside tire had a big tear about half of the outer circle in the inner sidewall. The car itself has 62000Kms, since I use winter tires that means this tire is under 50000KMs for sure. I know the warranty will be expired after 6 years but it is ridiculous the tire won't last over 50000Km and put my life in risk. I contact the customer service they tell me the tire is over 6 years old and there is nothing they can do. So, why you advertise something like 70000, 80000 and100000Km warranties??? These are not cheap tires, I rotate and balance them once a year, the tires have never been driven in winter and it fall apart just under 50K! Shame on you! Will never buy again! I am lucky because the car detect something wrong with the tire pressure so I stopped before I get killed. I was so shocked when I saw the big big tear! If you want a tire will stop you in the middle of nowhere and risk your life then go ahead buy it. Anyone interested to see the photo just ask me, I like to share with you to see how bad the tire is!!!

This is stock tire on 2007 Civic Si sedan, is so horrible that I can see any positive side of use them, maybe is low full tires, but don't know, on spring will buy new and make review about that aspect but for now nothing good for this tires. ABS is kick early with this, ESP is easy to kick in, nad one big worning, don't even think to drive not fast just average on wet with this, will kill you. After that experience on wet never try to drive on snow or ice.

These tires are terrible in the winter, even on slightly wet roads and I have an AWD vehicle.

Had these tires already fitted as OEM approved tires when vehicle was first purchased. Travelled about 18,000 miles and tires show 3mm of tread remaining. They coped reasonably well with particularly bad winter experienced in UK during December 2010. Slightly increased depreciation in overall comfort as tire tread wears out. Overall, a reasonable all season tire, but expensive to fit and one expects just a little bit more longevity and grip for a Michelin tire. I would rate this tire as mid range and competent.

Well this car came fitted with these tires. Wear was fairly rapid but then I expect that on this type of car.

Progressiveness and feel hard to assess as the Z3 chassis is poor in both these areas.

Biggest shock was the way the tires tread began to show signs of delaminating. This happened on all 4 tires, on one tire it got bad enough to need replacement. Apparently this was a very common problem on this tire. I also had a spare set of alloys for this car, these fitted with the same tire which also had the same problem, despite having approx 4mm of tread remaining.

I concluded that really you were just paying for the name, with these tires, as the construction quality was well below par.
