That's the plus size of the installed Continentals mentioned a few posts earlier.
I'm very happy with this model of Michelins on our current Acura. However, I've always felt Michelins are overbuilt to accommodate heavier frame cars. They're the sort of thing you'd buy if you put 70K on turnpikes a year, in a 7-series or S-Class. Frankly, I thought they'd be overkill for a lighter vehicle -- one that's more the spiritual successor to the S2000 than anything with 4 doors.
However I don't think you could go wrong with any of the top 3 in the tirerack UHPAS survey, which is: Conti DWS, these Michelins, and BT Pole Positions. If anything my eagerness to try the Contis now is more like a Goldilocks & the 3 bears move. But that bidirectional tread would have to be a clincher in a very tight field.
