Need new A/S tires
I have bubbles in 2 of my Pirelli tires size, 245/40 R18 97H, and I just don't like the way they track the road, always feel like I have to fight to keep the car in the lane. Figure now is a good time to replace before I get a blowout. What should I replace them with?

Really happy with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ from Costco. No change in MPG, solid handling.

All-seaon? I'd agree with the A/S 3+
Summer? I've found the Pilot Sport 4S to be great, though on other cars.
But be aware that tramlining is often a result of either alignment issues or low profile/stiff sidewall tires. No guarantee that ether Michelin would help in that area. The PS4S would probably make it worse.

To me, they're about the same in terms of noise. I always get an alignment after replacing tires.
There are several threads on A4 tire replacement. For all-season tires, most folks liked the Michelin or Continental Extreme Contact DWS.

OP, I would look into the Vreedestein Quatrac Pro if you willing to order online. The tire is in Grand-touring category and Tire Rack test as well as user rating gave it high remarks.
