I have to agree...I think Michelins are terribly overrated. I absolutely HATED the 19" Diamaris that came on my '02 4.4i. They were hard, flinty and about as stiff as Viagra dick. Needless to say, I couldn't get rid of them fast enough. The Pilots on my M3 were awful for many of the same reasons. On the other hand, the MXVs on my 3.0 are pretty decent, as were the same tire on my recent Accord EX. However, for the cost, I'd prefer something else. Pity about poor Edouard.
