I'm actually very happy with my Michelins. I have recently dropped out my old Pirelli rear tyres (which were formally front tyres) and moved my front Avon ZV-1 rotationals back - I don't think you can still buy these. I bought a pair of Michelin Energy. While they may not be the best, they do work well in both wet and dry conditions which suits the UK very well. We have no idea whether it will be wet, dry, snowing or what on any given day in the UK. What I do find is that these tyres deal with that grimy road surface very well and much better than Avon or Pirelli IMO. I mean that sort of wet, sweaty, slightly greasy road surfaces we seems to get when it hasn't rained for a while, which is very rare :) <--- UK drivers will know what I mean here. Just about to Saab my way to work ... Paul
