Pela,
Agreed. Put them on just before a round trip from St Louis to Galveston - they're excellent tires.

later,

Mine went on two weeks ago and we took a road trip from St Louis to Wisconsin over Thanksgiving. The Michelin's are superb tires from any perspective. We had the car out in the western burb's of Milwaukee where it dropped to 12 degree's. The tires and C5 loved it. Just had the car out in snow and they clawed there way through snow and frozen slush without difficulty. Worth the cost.

I wanted to have them for my car, but then I found out they are not European approved, since they do not carry the required E13-code on their flanks! :cry :sad: :( :mad :cuss :U

This approval-code consists of a small circle with E13 in it. Take a look at your runcraps (if you still have them), then you'll know what I mean!
