I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with these tires? I use my 96 Cobra year round (my only vehicle) and need a good tire. I don't see much snow (maybe 1-2 times a year at most), but need something that'll do good on wet/dry and in hot/cold weather. From what I can tell, an all season tire is the way to go. I have some Hankook A/S tires right now and they seem to do well. Before someone says get 2 sets of tires, a summer and winter, I just don't drive enough in the snow to justify it. I've got 17x9 wheels, I'm probably gonna go 255/40 front and 275/40 on the rear. The biggest thing about the Michelin's is that they have a 500 treadwear rating and a 45k mile warranty. So, even though they are more expensive, they'll last longer and give more bang for the buck. My concern is that with such a hard compound that traction will suffer (although they have excellent reviews). I do go to the drag strip occasionally, but with only a few bolt on's I'm not looking for excellent times but would at least like to be able to hook up. So, any opinions on these? At about $200 each, I wanna make sure they are what I need. Thanks!
