Default Michelen Pilot Sport A/S

Just bought the Pilot SPort A/S Plus 275/35/19 rear and 245/40/18 front for a grand total of $1208 installed. They look sharp and feel great. I only have 20 miles on them and can't make a fair comparision of the stock Bridgestones. I'll keep you posted.

These tires are great!!! The traction in the rain is much better than the Bridestones. Can't wait until the weather clears up to see what dry traction is like.

I have about 200 miles on them and they stick to the road just as well as the POE Bridgestones. They are also quit but not silent.

I had the pilot sports on my is300. They feel sooooo good. the tread wear is ridiculously bad in the winter months though. Keep this in mind when your temp screen on your heads up pod says ICY under the degrees.

The purpose was not to drive them in the snow unless I had n o choice. I wanted tires that handle well in rain and dry and have a tread life better than stock OEM that were dead at 20k. These should last twice as long.
