'06 9-3 SC with 98.5K miles on 215/55-16 tires and wheels.
At 5K miles, switched the OEM Pirelli P6s from the '06 SC to my then-2001 9-3 SE and installed Michelin Pilot Exaltos on the SC. Great tire; decent ride even when down to the wear bars.
Went to Kumho Ecsta 4x ultra-high performance tires and disliked them pretty much from the get-go. Very harsh ride (probably because of the UHP performance rating), poor in the wet, and noisy as the wear bars got closer. Would not buy again.
Dumped the Kumho's for a set of Pirelli P7s because I got a ridiculously low price on them. So far, so good. Decent ride, they stick pretty well for a 70K mile tire, a bit soft in the corners but OK for how I drive these days. Fairly quiet too (though they only have 3.5K on them).
