I used to have 205/50/16 Michelin Pilot Premacy tyres fitted all round to my Ford Focus. As an all rounder the tyres themselves are pretty good
In the dry the grip is excellent and not much is lost in the wet. However they are nowhere near as in the same league as the Pilot Sports for wet grip.
Another problem I have found with these tyres is that after a few thousand miles, the tyres I had seemed to develop small surface cracks. However I am sure they were not enough to cause a blowout or anything equally devestating. Yet, for a tyre barely a few months old to show such signs of wear after a relatively short period of time is quite worring. I did however have a set fitted to my front wheels for almost 40,000 miles which I consider to be quite excellent!

to specifically tailor or design a tyre for their particular car. We are generally talking about very expensive, exotic sports cars and extraordinarily expensive tyres here though.
For the majority of us we are faced with a choice of several different "household name" brands of rubber with which to fit to our car. Do we simply replace the car makers' original choice of tyre like for like - not a bad idea usually - or do we seek a better, cheaper or more up to date alternative?
My recent cars have tended to come already shod with my favourite make of tyres, so come replacement time, the decision has been a bit of a 'no-brainer' really, until now!
