Michellin Pilot Sport A/S.. Worst tires EVER!!
i've got a set of these on my is350 and they have absolutely NO traction... Now that it's started raining, i've come to realize these tires are not usable... anytime i tap on the gas pedal the tires would spin out.. i have to use extra care to tap on it as lightly as i can or put it in ECT snow mode.... also, forget about making those fast right turns at red lights.... impossible... getting rid of these soon... i can't believe they sell for 279 a piece... wouldn't recommend them to anyone...

you do realize that brand new tires need to be broken-in right? Drive on them easily for the first 500 miles.....
Brand new tires have this grease or something that needs to wear off for atleast the first 500 miles. Experts, what you say??

i had these tires in 245 and 275 sizes and thought they were fine. i don't go flying around corners so i pretend to know that they grip like hell and i ducked through cones in the rain, but they absolutely never slipped on me through accelerations or mild turns.
i lived in oregon...i know rain
