I had some Michelin MXV4s that wore like iron

and cornered about the same. I had 60-70k on the tires, and they were still looking great, ie no wear bars even close. So I kept driving them until I entered an entrance ramp that had just been patched and it was covered with pea sized gravel. Felt like I was driving on ball bearings. I spun out and thought I was going to roll since I was doing 50mph or so sideways in the grass. Not much damage to the car, but I was very lucky.
I really think the tires had lost their grip, and if they had been a bit more sticky I would have been fine. I slapped on a new set and it was like night and day. My vote would be to pick up a new recommended set.
