Tire Performance

Big Hank · 01-03-2007, 07:39 PM

Has anyone had experience with Michelin Pilot summer performance as well as the Pilot Sport A/S?
The A/S has twice the tread wear rating but how does it handle compared to the Pilot summer tire?
Thanks!

Fantastic tires. I give them about 85% of the dry traction and handling of the P-Zero. Wet handling is totally fantastic, and instills confidence. Snow performance is good, not great.

That's what I was hoping to hear.
The Pilot A/S has double the tread life of the Pilot summer (400 vrs 200).
I've had them on other cars and they wore very well.
I will say however, the Pilot summer tires are like glue. They just wear down too fast!
