Anyone here use Michelin SX MXX3?

So I had to get some better tires for my fronts because the originals (A032Rs) were really worn down so I went out and bought some of these used Michelins (225/45R/17) for $25 a pop........

Thread life is getting there but still better than the previous Advans, so now I'm sporting the Michelins in the front and A032Rs in the rear.

Just wanted to see if anyone else here used the SX MXX3s and what do you think of them.

Sticky tires. They have more stick than the new Pilot Sports. They wear quickly and can be a little rough on the bumps, but they are generally great tires. Those are the trade-offs you have to make for the grip they provide.

Thanks for replying........ Obviously their stickiness can't be compared to the A032Rs (nor it's thread wear life), I just don't wanna be expecting too much grip out of them like I had from the Advans...... At least the road noise is reduced with the SX in the front...........
