With the Pilot Sport 4 it wouldn't even break em loose if you had a good crack, but car was only making about 150KW/rears.

They were also quiet as well - I'd buy again but I've put smaller wheels on the car.

I'm impressed with them, I've got them on my Focus daily now as well.

The bald ones lasted 14,000km, I wonder which axle they were on

Keep in mind I beat on the car all the time so tyre longevity on my cars will be different to someone who drives like a sane person.
They look a couple of psi overinflated.
In the old days you'd do a burnout up the street and come back to examine the skid marks left on a new brand of tyres :-) to determine best psi for even wear (traction)

Now I'm guessing its a case of just keep going to get the hell out of dodge....

Michelin are a quality tyre, Was very happy with them, (MPS4S)
the NA Falcooon gets c100+ proxies nowadays for daily driver duties Good enough wet and dry due Silica
