I keep replacing the Michelins with the same because I have genuinely found them to be an excellent tyre. Wet weather grip is hardly less than dry, and dry is superb. I find them predictable, they don't give me any scary "moments" and they wear reasonably well. With all the tyre discussions there have been on this and other forums, I have not changed due to someone else's recommendation. If I find a tyre that I like, I'll stay with it until I can't get them anymore.
We all really need two bikes don't we, keep running one on our favourite tyres and experiment with new tyres on the other, then when we find a new tyre we like more than our old tyre that one becomes the new favourite. FWIW - try the Michelin 3s if you like the twos, they're brilliant. I'm rather looking forward to seeing how the 4s compare to the 3s myself next tyre change
