I try to drive the car most days as long as it is not rain or snow/salt on roads. Got stuck in the rain on the way to BG 2 years ago and they performed perfectly but as others have said, not inexpensive. Found my receipt and in 2013 it cost $1682 for the set of 4 including install and free road hazard insurance with 20,000 mile warranty. Still soft and good grip with no signs of age or hardness.

Charlie, I also got a set of Michelin Pilot Sports from Costco for the 95 a few years ago; 335s for the rear. They were great to work with and have high standards as you pointed out. I was worried about their balancing, as they did not have a Road Force balancer, but never had any balance problems. They made me come back after about 25 miles for a re torque. Later had a leaky valve (my fault for over inflating to 60 psi for the winter to avoid flat spots) that they repaired for free even knowing what I had done. Said manufacturer only warrants valves to 40 psi. Cost me about the same as yours in late 2013: $1,712. --Bob
