I made no comments about tire rotation (I feel that rotating tires at 7,500 miles is a prudent practice for most CL-s drivers). I actually consider my driving habits to be quite normal. Use, without abuse. I joined this forum shortly after buying my Acura CL-S, and almost all of my posts have been in this forum. YMMV

Woah, wait a minute. Are you saying you got 50k miles on the OEM tires? The Michelins? I'm not calling you a liar, but that is like 15k more that the highest mileage I've ever heard. When you took them off did they have any rubber left. Were you riding on cords? I'm just so astounded because I'm tame to most people on this board and I stretched my OEM tires to 30k.

Just so you know:
Honda/Acura has been hearing "complaints" from enthusiasts about their choice in rubber. The question, "Why don't you put some sticky tires on the CL Type-S" seems to come up quite often from enthusiasts and the car mags. In a recent magazine review (I believe it was the new Accord), Honda defended their choice of tires...
They said they select them (MXV4 and by proxy MXM4) for:
High mileage (the rubber IS HAAAARRRRRDDDD)
All-season (if you are liberal with the use of all-season)
Very high gas mileage from low rolling resistance
Note: The MXV4s are "officially" "green"/energy saver tires, but the MXM4 are very similar in the high mileage and low rolling resistance (sorry, the green tire site is off-line and looks to be gone)...
