They are a bit better than the D3's and KD's all around but very pricey.

Also air pressure has a LOT to do with traction. I put 35 psi in my D3's one time by accident and was breaking loose everywhere. Put them down to 32 and my traction was back. Especially cornering.

When I had the KD's I ran them with the air pressure the tire place put in there and I had no traction. The idiots had put 38 psi in them. Lowered them down and they were great.

The Mich's straight line traction is pretty similar to both of those tires but wear and tracking are better. They all have there strengths. KD's track well, get good traction, The D3's get great traction and are the best rain tire out there, The Mich pretty much does it all although are not as good in the rain as the D3.
