Same experience here. Our '04 Sonata came with Michelins on it when we
bought it used last fall. The tires were new and they've performed
flawlessly this winter, though we really haven't had that many normal storms

I replaced the Michelins on my wife's '04 Elantra at about 13,000 km.
It now sports Nokeans (Spelling?). Best all-purpose tires we've ever
had.

Same here. I've been quite impressed with the snow performance of the
MXV4's.
