Anyone driving on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 235 50 17?

I'm considering upgrading the tires on my sedan x, to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 235 50 17 and was looking for as much feedback as I could get, both negative and positive.
Handling?
Noise?
Pics?

I don't have them, but I've only heard good things about them.

Ivittorio,

I've had them for about 4,000 miles, replaced the OEM Goodyear’s when my G35X had fewer than 2,500 miles on the odometer and I've only got good things to say about them. Most noticeable was they're not harsh like the Goodyear RSAs which seemed rather busy and unrefined.

The Michelins are less jarring, less noisy, and provide improved turn-in. My car used to buzz badly (interior trim) when driving on rough sections of highway. That disappeared with the change to the Michelins. The cars handling is as good or better. The car tracks straight and grips commendably.

Negatives: $200 per tire.

I had them on my Acura CLs. The best tires ever had. Quiet, great in dry, wet, and snow. For such a performance tire, the wear is extraordinary!!! Go for it.
