I put over 20k miles on these tires and this is what I experience.
Pros:
1. These tires grip very well with wet or dry weather.
2. They handle very well in the corners and these tires are very responsive.
3. These tires wear very slow. I put over 20k miles on these bad boys and they look almost new!
Cons:
1. These tires make a lot of noise. I just don't understand it because these tires wear evenly. I cannot stand the noise.
2. The tire is heavy. You can tell when driving that these tires are more heavy than the average tire.
3. Don't hit a pot hole!

Replaced a set of Continental DWS that I had previously reviewed here. I live in Seattle USA which tends to have wet winters and only a few weeks of sub freezing weather. These tires feel great on the road. The rubber compound reminds me of one of those super bouncy balls. Sticky yet very solid. Compared to the DSW, these tires are superior in all conditions. The only issue I had with the DSW were the soft sidewalls. The Michelin are world's stiffer and require less steering wheel input while cornering. I tend to post regular updates on this forum so will post again in the spring or summer of 2014.
