I have had Michelin Pilot's for some time now on my bmw 330d. primarily to start with as I can get them at costco! I have used continentals and yokahama's too. There performance is very good and I can not complain about there. Also I have had a big puncture on the front drivers tyre (exhaust hanger went through middle of tyre) I was doing about 100 Mph at the time, the tyre held together and I was able to safely get to the hard shoulder. - OK it screwed the tyre and rim was damaged too but minimal excitement. The BMW 330d weighs in at 1.75 tonnes so the tyre did well.

I have 18" rims and with a 20% off voucher got 4 for about £560.
