Guess I am now unstoppable in ALL seasons, right? Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ needs no introduction but here’s the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . But I got them at Sam’s Club on their Black Friday sale. $130 offa set of 4 with free installation. Tirerack had a similar deal as well but involved Visa prepaid gift card and all that, plus no free installation. Was either this or $20 per tire cheaper BFGoodrich g-Force COMP-2 A/S; Continental DWS 06 was my #1 choice but no deals anywhere this good. They still have it going on if you’re interested:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I literally have 20 miles on this so will wait for the break in before a full review but initial impressions are that it seems to ride smoother but it stiffer when I hit road imperfections. Can’t comment on handling yet but seems to be almost same noise level as the previous tires- Hankook Ventus Noble S1 Nobel 2s-Which are Terrible ! I do not recommend them at all. Lasted barely 15,000 miles before wearing down to 3/32s already. It came with the car as a brand new set. Decent in dry but not good enough in the wet. Buy anything except these if you are going for UHP all seasons.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to have a terrible experience with Ventus S1 Nobel 2s... I’ve got snows on the car right now but I will definitely be switching to something else in the spring

How can an all season last just 15k miles??

My indy 500s lasted 20k miles and that was with 1 autox and 2 tail of the dragon (at least 6 runs each time) plus me hooning it everytime I drove it.

I know right? That bad. And this is mostly city driving of course, and moderate to sometimes aggressive driving style, but still. I was shocked! It’s not like I have a 500HP monster that lights up the tires every time, or a super heavy SUV/truck that puts a lot of pressure on them.

I have been happy with my Pilot Sport A/S 3+ so far (about 4, 000 miles) , although they are a bit noisy, as you say. Fun to take corners with these.

I just got a set, initial impressions are quite positive, even in cold, wet conditions (we’ll see about snow, and hopefully won’t have to see about ice).

They feel significantly stickier than the Michelin Premier A/S tires that were on there.

Good to know. Snow is not a problem, it hardly snows more than 1 inch here anyway. Cold, heavy rain grip should be good for me along with good handling and acceptable noise level.

I got more miles out of performance summer tires. The rears on the M3 lasted 19k miles.

Never again! not that I had a choice that time , but it’s only Continentals/Bridgestones/Michelins for me.

I found them to be noisy too. I’m happy to say that after a year they appear to be less noisy, o r I just have grown accustomed to them. At first I though I thought I had some AT tires on my car. Performance is great though.

I have the BFG on my WRX. They are a pretty good tire so far with a good many miles on them. Great in the wet, ok in the snow, but just nowhere near my winter tires that I had on it previously. I had Eagle F1 Assymetrics on it before these and those lasted maybe 15-20k. I really wanted a decent tire that would last a bit longer and was ok in the snow or cold if I didn’t get my winters on quick enough.
