They're expensive, but I've never heard a bad thing about them (other than price) so I'd say you did good :thumbs:

I've got about 15,000 miles on mine and they are still doing good...they've lost a little in straight line traction, but tey still hook hard. I like them, but for the cost I am going to try something esle when I need to get a new set

I'd have to agree with TA great tires for big $$$ Michelins are usually the highest priced tires out there if you compair but you know you are getting a quality tire. I just wonder if the extra $$ is worth it. The Pilot sports are deffinatly the tire to get if you are going to spend the money however I love that tread pattern :thumbs:
