Anyone dropped on Michellin Pilot sport A/S pluss
I was wondering if anyone out there had tried these tires before with a dropped GS. I am blown away that they are offered in 245/30/20, 255/30/20. and the ubiquitous 275/30/20 AND has a 500 tread wear rating.
what do you guys know? what experiences have you had??

I just mentioned the name to the tech at the tire shop and he lit up like a christmas tree and poured on about how they are the nicest tire in that size for comfort and I think tire wear. I dont tink there is another tire offered in a 245/30/20 that has a tread wear rating like this tire.

I am running them on my stock 17's. I only put about 1,500 miles on them. Let me tell you they are MILLION times better then the stock runflats. They handle well going through water is like a ship in the sea. They're perfect all around not sure about winter. I highly suggest them. For the price they're offered you can't go wrong.

okay the real question here is if you go back prior to the warranty are they going to replace the tires due to camber wear? I know they have a tread life but I would assume they will know why the tires are worn inside and you have good tread on the outside. Just saying if this is your primary reason I wonder how much longer they will really last and what any tire shop will say when you get back at ~ 20k miles.
I have had these on another sedan that was not lowered and they where great tires. They where not the plus at the time I had owned them but great tire all around. I used them all year in Chicago and they did a great job on a RWD sedan.

They are great tires, but..... expect to lose 3-4 MPG on the freeway. I know I did when I switched from the Dunlop run-flats. But the ride and traction are so much better with the Michelins. Just got back from a trip to Atlanta, driving through heavy heavy rain and felt like I was on dry pavement.

I noticed a small drop in my mpg in my 450h like 1-2 miles per gallon but I think it is because I like these tires so much I have been driving more aggressive. They really don't even feel like runflats which is what I like best.
