1999 9-5 SE sedan 2.3lpt. Original Michelins were quite disappointing (noise, treadware). Used 2 sets of those.
Then tried Dunlop SP Sport A2, and they were equally disappointing for same reasons.
Recently put on a set of Kumho Ecsta HP4 716, and they seem great so far (only about 1K miles). Quiet, nice ride, good rain displacement. But - time will tell. At least if I don't like these, I haven't spent much money, and I doubt they'll be as bad as the MXV4 & Sport A2.
I drive easy, and my car has the "Sound Isolation Update' done on it. Yet, every tire gets NOISY at the 1/2 way wear point, and the treadware is about 15K per set. They're rotated during service, I keep the tires at 32 PSI, and no accidents. Car has 59,000 miles at present. Terrible tire mileage!
