I've had them on a VW Scirocco, an Exploder, and a set came new on the CPO 9-5 we bought in '06.
The passenger car version were lousy in the rain (would never use a regular Michelin in the snow!), had mediocre turn-in, feel and handling. The ones on the Exploder were OK, but only compared to the Firestones they replaced.
Michelin, IMHO, makes overpriced medium-quality tires. They way wear well and have great quality control, but the company is riding on its reputation, not the quality of its tires. There's lots of other choices that give you more tire for less money.
