For cost savings sake, I might just go the A/S route for the next two years. The Michelin's Pilot Sports seem to get great reviews. Where have you found the best price(s) for this tire?

 

Anybody else have any great experience with an A/S that has not been mentioned. I have been spoiled with summer tire performance for the past two years

I've been running the Pilot Sport A/S Plus for about 8K now. Currently 9/32nds still on them and riding like the day I bought them. I was previously a die hard Bridgestone Potenza fan. So much, years ago, I bought a brand new BMW with Goodyears on it, didn't leave the dealership with it until they put the Bridgestones I brought with me on it. I can say I love these tires. Great handling wet, dry and snow (recently tested at 8" w/ ice underneath) and they were phenomenal.

I'm amazingly impressed that at 8K on the tires and have burned off only 2/32nds. Granted I don't drive like I used to, I've pretty much always driven my Spec B like Grandma (but I do know where the tires will break loose), however at 60K on the car, the Mich's are the 4th.. yes. the 4th set of tires on the car. Do keep in mind though, I believe the tires and brakes are the one place you SHOULD spend a good bit of money on. And I replace my tires at 4/32nds. Why cheap out on the two things (other than your reaction time) that are the most critical when you are talking about personal safety. As well as the two most helpful things on your car that will keep you from wrecking as well.

I live in Raleigh, have a bucket load of random cars but generally I'm driving my 06 Spec B.
