Who knows. The people using them on the street touring list seem to be
scoring some impressive successes, but you never know.
I'm moving from Michelin Pilot Sports too them, which were too expensive,
too prone to rolling over, and not as sticky as the MXX3's (which are now
discountinued - grab them while you can!)
The Pilot Sports were great in the rain though. Stuck to the road.

Well I have a set on my car now (2000 Civic SI in
ST-N) and I can't say they have a huge amount of grip
over other high performance street tires. Compared to
the stock crappy Michelins XGT V4's that came on the
car they are a huge improvment, but over something
like a Yokohama AVSi I doubt there is much to be
gained. Still for the money they are very nice. A
really stiff sidewall that seems to ride harsher on
the road in a 205/50/15 than my Kuhmo 712's do in a
205/40/17. An interesting observation. Also, they
are a little hard to get right now with limited
sizes...only about have of the planned sizes were
available last time I checked.
My 2 cents on this one,
Paul
