Ford AU wagon Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 given 87% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 40000 spirited miles
I had these on one of my cars for 20kmiles then when that car went to the graveyard I put them on the Fairmont which has slightly softter suspension. I had to put some more air in as they had lost a little. This caused a high road noise but as the tread blocks wore down the noise went away.

On the Falcon SR Wagon I never found their limits on cornering in fact the SR suspension likes hard acceleration to increase cornering ability. The grip in the wet is also very good, The Pirelli's I had once would fish tail down the dry road if they touched a wet spot. I can't break traction in the wet.

I usually get 70-80k km from a set in 8 months of driving.

Definately recommend them for spirited driving on all types of roads. They have saved me many times from Kangaroo's on the road.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy LC given 86% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30000 average miles
The large (12 year old) station wagon I put these on changed the drive considerably. The car has done 310000 Km, so it has seen a number of different tyres. These Michelin's instantly made the road noise almost disappear, so much so, my wife (who has no interest in tires) commented 'the car is now as quiet as mine'. Believe me, that is a huge complement.
As for the ride, it makes the car feel much more expensive to drive. Meaning, it has a smoother ride. The car doesn't get driven hard, so I can't comment how the tires would preform on a performance car, but these tires are not designed for high performance. The grip in dry and wet has been excellent for normal driving. Again, if you are in the market for a high performance tire, buy a high performance tire. If your after a luxury touring tire (a tire for a family car) which is super quiet, very comfortable and a pleasure to drive on, this is worth every cent.
So far 50000 km and about 40% tread left (about 50% city, 50% highway driving), driving 'normally'.
I'm going to put these on my wife's car as soon as the Goodyear's need replacing.
