I bought a set for my `08 Honda Accord EX replacing the OEM Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires at 49,900 miles.
The first thing i liked about these tires is they felt crisper in handling.
About a four weeks into owning these tires Trop. Storm Irene came to town, driving through leaf covered roads dodging falling tree`s and branches was a hoot!!!
Driving in downpours felt very safe with these tires.
Highway driving also a pleasure with these tires.
October brought our first snow about 1/2" here in SE CT. but, the first real snow test came Jan 19th on icy roads traction fair, Jan 21st snowy roads traction a little better on a 1-10 I`d give it a 6.
I run my tires at 34psi vs factory specs of 32psi and get summer time 25.6mpg/winter 24.7mpg combined driving. (best Hwy mpg so far 29.12 Jfk airport and back 261 miles)
I did notice that i have to add air more often with these tires vs the OEM i had on.
As of this writing i`m knocking on 20,000 miles with these tires.
I would reccomend these tires
