I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.
I have been using the same Continental Extreme Contact DW and separate winter tires for a year and a half and they have outstanding grip in wet and dry, are quite and wear is OK too.
Same for winter tires, where I've owned Michelin, Pirelli and Continental ExtremeWinterContact, and by far I like the Conti's followed by Michelin and I'll never own another set "ever" of the Pirelli Sottozero.
Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.
I have ContiExtremeContact summer tires on my TDI (now at 60,000 miles), and expect to get at least 30,000 - 35,000 miles on them.
Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?
I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.
I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.
OP said: semi-slick Michelin Sport Cup 2
I run Michelin XLT 'all-seaon mud and snow' tires, which are great in rain and ok in light snow, but frankly in real winter-y conditions are not good enough.
