The Goodyear's are a great tyre and I didn't think the Michelin's could be any better but I tried them and I'm glad I did, somehow theyre just a step up in every condition. The two things I found with the Goodyear's were they're bad in the colder weather and they got a bit 'floaty' in standing water, with the Michelin's both these were no longer a problem. I didnt think you could get a better all round tyre without some sort of compromise but if the Michelin's have one I haven't found it yet.
