Gannet thanks again
The Tyre technician indicated he would appreciate feedback as he had supplied Michelins previously but no actual feedback as to the impact .
Calling him Monday ,

To be fair I think the only one thing everyone agrees on is that Bridgestone RE050 RFT are rubbish and positively dangerous at times
Everyone to their own on replacement choice
I am delighted with the Michelins :thumbsup:

BTW, did over 500 miles this week, and despite there being no actual snow on the roads I was driving, the Pilot SuperSports performed very well in the +5ºc to -5ºc wet/sleet/snowing conditions I was driving in.

Car was filthy though, so it's just had a quick bath to remove the worst of it - and I used a whole tank of washer fluid over those 500 miles.
