Result: Would you buy again? Probably not
Comment:
Tyres look good, drive good and have lower noise than previous Continental Premiums. However although most new tyres have a 8mm tread to start, these Michelin's start with only 6.7mm - so effectively I am being cheated out of about 20% of tyre wear. So unless they have an exceptionally low tread wear (I got 48,000 kms from the Continentals) I won't be buying these again.
NB- I would have liked to comment about the Continental All-Seasons I have fitted to my other cars, but this website doesn't seem to understand those tyres exist - how odd.
