Will let you know the first impressions next Sunday, if all goes well with the weather. We have a long drive planned towards the end of April, all the way to Vancouver Island, and that should allow for some long distance highway driving feedback as well. Stay tuned!

Steering feel - much more precise and direct than the Continentals. Ride - Not overly harsh, but much, much better than the Continentals. On smooth tarmac, I could tell that they're RFTs but not by much. Handling - The X5 feels more taut and agile compared to how it felt with the Continentals. Braking - didn't get to test hard braking in an urban environment so no comment at this time. Subjective Comfort - significantly better than the Continentals, that's for sure, but not as comfortable as Non-RFTs as well. Noise - definitely more noisy than the winter Pilot Alpin's I was running for the past 6 months. But not as noisy as the Continentals. They had this weird thrum at about 100 kmph on the highways that used to drive me mad. No such noise so far from the Michelins. More pictures on this thread

While road noise is low for an RFT, it's definitely noticeable and higher than non-RFTs. Especially over broken and bad roads. Most roads in Calgary have become quite shit over the last few years and maintenance is glacially slow, mostly patchworks wherever there's a pothole, and especially now right after winter. And when I drive on such roads, I can absolutely feel, and more importantly hear, the RFT-ness So I'd absolutely recommend tempering expectations about road noise.

I have the Pilot Sport 5 on my car and really like them. I will be posting a review comparing them to the Michelin CrossClimate2 fairly soon. In sort I think both are really good tires. If you never snow, ice, or cold weather performance the Pilot Sport 5 is the way to go, but if you encounter some ice or cold weather the CrossClimate2 still handles pretty well but has the added ice performance. I live in Arizona and I think once I run through the thread on the Pilot Sport 5, I will just stick with CrossClimate2 since then I don't have to do the seasonal switch (I take frequent trips back to Colorado in the winter time).
