The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 is also an excellent tire. If you read the testing done jointly by Tire Rack and Car & Driver, the Continental has the advantage in wet, the Michelin in dry, but both perform better than most in either environment. Just that these are by far the 2 best non-run flat summer tires on the market today and both are better than the old Michelin Supersports. Tire rack is now selling 225/40/18 Conti's for about $160 each delivered, a best buy, compared to $220 for the Michelins shipped to Vegas
