Michelin Pilot Sport, anyone know anything about them?

That's basically, my question: Has anyone had any experience with these tires? I can get a set really cheap and I want to know if they'll be good auto-x tires. Thanks in advance!

Noel, reviews on Tirerack seem to dictate that these tires are very well made. They are considered outstanding performers, comparable to the S0-3's? Probably. They're nice sticky tires, though not as nice as the Falkens, or how the Khumos are supposedly going to be.

If you can get them "really cheap" then by all means get them. At the regular price, they just aren't good enough to justify over the cheaper alternatives. You pay a stiff premium just for them to say "Michelin"

Thanks for the input, Ken and Scott. I ended up getting them and taking them through some twisties today!! Got a little squirelly, but I recovered!! :)

which ones did you get? I will probably be getting them as well because I get a good price on them. I forget the model numbers but I was looking at either the top of the line ones or the model just bellow them.

Uh oh, looks like a test day tommorow for you Noel. :). Your gonna be hard to keep up with.

Duncan, I got the Michelin Pilot Sports. 215/45-16. I ran them yesterday and they were pretty sticky, save the wet spots on the auto-x course!! :)

Ken, you did a pretty good job at keeping up with me! I just have to watch out when you get some Azenis! ;)
