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!
All in all they are pretty good tyres, but I would suggest saving a few more pounds and opting for either the Michelin Pilot Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1, or the Toyo Proxes T1-R which can all be had for not much money and in my opinion are significantly better
