I have the Michelins and have done quite a bit of research on them. Definately a world class tire. They are glued to the asphalt. The car feels wonderfully planted during manuveers. I've had mine to 145 and the car feels good. Absolutely god awful in snow though. I don't take the car on the road in the winter, but I moved it into the driveway to clean the garage. There was about an inch of snow on the pavement, and I thought I was going to get stuck!
