18K on a set 235/45/17 on my S60. Put them on back in August last year.
They are okay, dry traction isn't phenomenal but it's okay I guess. Good in the snow, very good in the rain.
I've had Pirelli P6 (junk) Michelin Pilot, Bridgestone Potenza (junk), and assorted other A/S tires.
The biggest complaint I have is the tread pattern is "sectioned" for a particular driving element, and it seems the "dry" section doesn't get enough bite for me. I have the sport suspension option on my S60 and it still doesn't handle as well as I thought the tire would.
I guess because most of my driving is on dry roads, I'd like a tire that handles better in the dry than wet (I don't go flying around on/off ramps in the rain or snow).
Overall good bang for the buck. If money were no option, I'd get another set of Michelin Pilots.
