Why over RE-11's?
Michelin has always been a well spoken name.
Dry Traction as good or better than RE-11's (Having not had RE-11's I can't speculate on this, but definitely better than Stockers)
Wet Traction as good or better than RE-11's (It never rains here so I have no idea)
Longer Treadwear rating than both stockers or RE-11's (I'll let you know when I hit 20k if this is legit)
Stiffer sidewall than the popular Hankook V-12 which I like in the corners
Cost... isn't on their side, but I figured you gotta pay to play.
Tread pattern - Sick.
Not much else be said there lol
Thats pretty much it.
