Done my 100 miles of Driving Miss Daisy to get rid of the stuff they put on the tyres, and boy, what grip!
Can't make a fair comparison against the Contisport contact 2's I had on the front as they were far from new, but I can compare against Pirelli P Zero Rosso's as I had those on from new on my shadow blue, and these Michelins are deffinately superior.
I was also told by the guy in Tyre city that they have noticed these last longer than the Goodyear F1's too, so Brucie Bonus all round!

I agree great grip
Big down side is fuel consumption, they are some of the worst.
The new ratings that came into force on the 1st of July show this.
The NEW top dog are the Conti Preimum 5's - A for Wet, C for fuel, and 71db
PS3's are A for Wet, F for fuel and 71db
Mileage wise I only see 10,000 to12,000 out of a set of fronts

^^ thanks Kiwi - I may try some of the conti's next time round :smiley:
Ian - glad you got some tyres your pleased with. Interesting that you rate them higher than the Rosso's which are supposed to be quite good :surprised:
-
Will give these a go when my Toyos need changing

Have to agree these are great tyres ESP for the Costco price. Did u get the 20% off?
-
Do you mean Conti sport contact5's? I have them and have been great...

I was shown the latest ratings by Tyre City for all the tyres, including the Conti sport contact 5's F1's, Pirelli Rosso's & PS3's and they were all exactly the same: A for wet, E for fuel and 71 or 72db.

I've for ps3's on mine and I'm lovin them alot better then the bridgestone potenza's i had before. I'm also gonna put them on the other halfs fiesta when she gets her mountune 17's next year

i dont know if the deal is still on, but around 3 weeks ago when i bought my michelins, michelin had a deal on where if you bought two 17inch + tyres they would send you a £50 fuel voucher. Still waiting on it, but it means i only paid £90 a tyre fitted.
-
How much did you pay for them?
Im needing a front set and cant decide on what to go for? Ive been quoted £109 fitted for either Goodyear, Pirelli, bridgestone or dunlops...So im looking online to find out which are the best out of that bunch?

If the Goodyears are F1, they are the best of that lot.
