I'm looking to replace my stock run-flats and based upon what I have seen on the forum I am thinking of going with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.
Is the "plus" the all-weather version of the pilot A/S?, and is that the recommended version for the Chicago area - I do occasionally take the car out in the winter!

I don't think so. The A/S signifies All Season(all weather). I believe it is because of the extra compounds used in the tire. I have this tire and the car rides beautifully. Wish I had changed from the runflats sooner.

Thanks - what I am finding a bit confusing is the listing of Pilot® Sport A/S (note no "plus")


MICHELIN: Pilot Sport A/S
