Michelin Pilot Sport 5 275/40ZR18 (103Y) XL

I bought these a year ago. The grip was excellent, including two weeks where the early morning temperatures were about -6/-8 C. I expected the grip to be greatly reduced, but they did extremely well. They were quiet and comfortable. The grip continued to be excellent as the temperatures climbed during the summer, as one would expect. I don't know that I would buy them again because of the cost. They were about $700 more than the competition (roughly) and while I was delighted with their performance, I don't think they would be worth the cost once these wear out. I thought they wore quite a bit over the summer (20,000 km) but my tire shop thought the wear was appropriate. 5 mm tread remaining. Good for two summers if they wear at the same rate.
