Frank, I've never driven on Michelins... I have T1-S rubber on my car right now and it rocks. Road noise is minimal even the g/f didn't comment on it. Handling is top notch, besting all tires I've owned short of Hankook's Z2000 autocross rubber wink ... That one wasn't for the street though! The T1-S powers through water like it's not even there, great for rain too.

Here's one opinion!
