Thumbs up

They are great!
Purchase cost - highish ($1200 australian for the set)
Size - 205/45/17
Wear so far - negligeable (including one brief track outing)
Run in period - about 400-500 km before optimum scrub
Dry grip - 8
Wet grip - 7
Progressive feel when letting go - 9
Sidewall flex - medium stiffness
Pattern - looks like slippery tarmac competition tires (great)

Previous tires have been Pirelli, Bridgestone (2 types), Toyo. Would definitely recommend Michelins, and so far I am a satisfied customer.

Is the MXF Sport the same as the Pilot Sport over here in England? In the UK the Pilot Sport replaced the Pilot MXX3 as the top of the range Michelin tyre a few months ago.
