Default New Michelin A/S 3 +

Not yet available as far as I know. Reading reviews on the currant A/S3, not very impressive in wet conditions and a lot of complaints about noise level, but there are some that swear the A/S3 so take your pick. Below is the new A/S 3 +......

I have been very happy with the pilot sport A/S3
No complaints from me.

Tires are based on what you need and want from a tire. What tire I think is best for me. You could see it as the worst tire ever. I like tires with a stiffer sidewall that gives me good feedback through the steering wheel. This causes a harsher ride, but I'm ok with that. I know the steering feel is more important to me. My BMW I have Bridgestone re11's . They are stiff, not any good in moderate or heavy rain. I'll only get 12-15 thousand miles out of them. I know that upfront, but I want that dry grip. Buy tires based on what you need and want for your car or truck. Just like most things there are trade offs. There is not one tire that will give you 60,000 miles, dry tip like a track tire. Wet grip for a deluge, and grip snow and ice like a winter tire. It not going to give a soft ride with a firm steering feel, and so on.

So we could all argue what's best, it's what tire has the best attributes for you. We have six cars in our driveway. None of them have the same tires. They all get driven differently resulting in different tires. While I read reviews. I put more weight on test results by tire rack testing. To help make my decisions.
