Here is a little information from the "sticky" on the wheels & brakes forum. You can find the rest of the review here:

-----------------------------------
Ok here is a list of the top 6 ultra high performance A/S tires in my humble opinion. I base this opinion on having driven on these tires mostly on IS 300's (our old test cars) as well as 03 BMW 330ci's. We have a test track here that has a slalom, a skid pad and and a sharp brake and turn. These are performance A/S tires and this track allows me to test the tires at its limits of cornering, traction, response and braking. These tires are not designed for the best ride quality but instead the best performance combined with light all-season traction.
My primary considerations are as follows when judging performance A/S tires.
A) Lap Times
B) How the tire responds to steering input
C) How it breaks off on the skid pad and in the slalom.
D) Wet traction (we have sprinklers)
E) Light snow and ice traction.
Note: This list is limited to the brands that we sell and does not include Toyo, Falken, or Nitto.
Top 6 Ultra High Performance A/S Tires:
1)Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Simply the best. Michelin has made a tire with superb performance AND light snow and ice traction. This tire also rides very well.
