Hello,

I was running the Holy Michelin the last 4,000mls and going to return them now.
Not happy at all.
They are only more comfortable when riding around town with city speed.
On Highway speed its a different story.
My focus is always to have good wet performance on a tire.
This is where I am the most unsatisfied with the Michelins. They spin all the time at the rear end.
ABS kicks in when touching the brakes even on dry roads. :O
Switch off Slip Control and you are a heck of a rear end sliding cowboy.
Fun sometimes - sure but not always.
Pulling the Monti starting on a wet slope or hill makes them spin too.
Needed to switch on 4WD...
At this price point - totally not impressed at all.

After the wet performance on the Michelins I do not want to have them on snow

Would say they are slightly better than my OEM Firestone Transforce AT's (which have also a wet issue)
I have been very happy on Continental AT's - Comfy and great on wet and even on snow.
I changed from the Contis as I had some balancing issues on that 2. set so I thought give the famous Michelins a shot.
Stupid me...

I will try the new Cooper AT3 XLT as next.
As its the latest tire on the market I am hopeful to have good experiences with them.
At least they won't look as boring as the Michelins

Mike

Edit: I had the Michelin Defender LTX M/S in LT295/65 R20
