I know some people pay more for tires, but it has been a while since I bought tires and I just paid $1000 for 4 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires 235/45/18. Anyone on this forum have these....any issues. They should be delivered by Wednesday.... They come with a 45,000 mile warranty.....not bad for a Z rated tire. We will see how they hold up

 

They are great tires. You will love them. They have a great quite and smooth ride and traction is great.
They are well worth the money.

 

Not as good as you'd think on 18's, the BFG gforce all seasons believe it or not, had better traction in the snow, and wet and dry pavement.

 

The BFG G force all seasons suck they never wear evenly and get crazy loud after sometime.

 

Conti DWS are cheaper and very good A/S as well, I just ordered them 245/45R18 they are Y rated with a 50k/72 month warranty(even wear)

 

^That you are correct, they are good and cheaper.

 

Oh and I paid 720 shipped, The price went up on them , they used to be 141 per tire in 245/45 now they are 163! Thats what happens when a tire get popular. Lots of places are out of stock of them, and if they are then its 6-8 weeks till they get more!

 

Ya that is cause people realizing that they are good tires and are buying them more. Also We (Discount Tire and Conti) are offering a free GPS system with the purchase of a set of tire of over $499. Just to let you know. LOL

 

Yeah^ a whole bunch are backordered

 

^ Every place is doing that pfft ha, "while supplies last" well the deal is ending in 30 min on tirerack, well they will prob extend it since it was 4/1 before ha.

I just cant wait to get my wet driving confidence back! Just changing lanes and giving it some gas makes the back end kick out! On highways I have to drive very carefully, I also some times get the floating feeling on the front of the car :O

 

I asked the store what the best tire was and he directed me to the Michelin.... I hope he is right. I def want a quite smooth ride. I live in AZ and do not need good rain/snow tires. I feel more comfortable spending more for a premium product. My only concern is that it is all hype in their marketing. How do you truly know if they are better than another brand.???

 

The Pilot Sports A/S, are highly acclaimed tires, you should be fine.

 

You will enjoy those tires alot.

 

Thanks for all the feedback. I have a sedan and wanted safe tires also for my family of 4 Now I just need to slow down!
