I had the original Michelin Pilot Sports on my 02 S when I bought it. They had 12k miles on them and were 4 years old. The performance for both everyday and performance driving was pretty poor. I am a big fan of Michelin's and I chalk this one up to the tires being old and worn down. I have since replaced them (odometer read 15k at the time of change) with Goodyear F1's and after the 500-1000 mile break in I couldn't be happier with everyday and performance driving (I probably have 2000 miles on them now). They are relatively quiet, handle wet roads pretty well and have been pretty good at autocrosses considering the 280 treadwear rating.

In my past I had used Michelin PS A/S's on my Lincoln LS (I know it's not a sports car but it is a higher performance sedan) and they were the best all season tire I have ever driven on! I can't comment on the life of the tires as they are now with my ex-wife...
