The all season version appears to have not quite the performance of an all out street/race tire, but it's close. The bonus is that unlike an all out street compound, the Pilot Sport A/S will not get rock hard below 40 degrees and turn into a slippery noodle. It appears to be a great all around tire, but not the ne plus ultra of street performance. Has anyone run this tire on their Z and what were your results?

 

I have them. They are very good for traction in wet and dry. They have a good comfortable ride as well. Also quiet.

 

I've got almost 1000 miles on mine, very good tires. Much quieter than the OEM Bstones. First thing I noticed was the turnin was quicker and the steering felt lighter. Handling is razor sharp. I recommend them highly.

The day after the install, I had my alignment checked. Of the 11 measurements taken, 7 were out of spec. If you get new tires, get an alignment done at a good shop.

Thanks for those reports! I'm starting to lean heavily towards the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S' !!! I may lose a bit of ultimate dry handling (and with my driving skills I probably won't notice) but I'll gain a big safety cushion in the cold and wet. It looks like an acceptable compromise
