Here is a comparison for those with the 17" rims.

The specs for the Bridgestone Turanza LS-Z is much better than the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

Tires being the direct link between car & pavement are one of the most important parts of any car.
(along with brakes)
Spend a little extra coin & get some quality meats, you won't be sorry.

lol...
you guys are all recommending high performance tires like the S0-3's and PS2's that are twice the price of the tires that this guy is trying to decide between. He obviously doesnt want to spend the money that high performance tires cost and was asking which of the two he stated were better. Plus, he said its his wife's car so i think it would be safe to say that she isnt going to be doing any agressive driving where sticky a$$ tires like S0-3's and PS2's are needed. If i had to choose from the tires they have on tirerack that are around the price of the tires that this guys is trying to choose from i'd go with the Yoko Avid H-4's or the Bridgestone EL400's.

i've got bridgestone turanza ls-v's, 225/55-17, on the car and they are great! a grand touring tire, that is all season, handles well, grips the road whether it is wet/dry, are quiet as a mouse, and smooth riding. they have already run in the triple digit range several times and inspire confidence at those speeds.
i had the firestone firehawk wide ovals(returned before 30 day guarantee was up due to balancing/handling issues), avon tech m550(returned due to balancing issues) and now the bridgestones. i have about 1500 miles on them and they are a great fit for my '05 sedan, and my driving needs.
just my personal preference, and 2 cents.

I was looking at Tire Rack and I took a peak at the ratings at Pilot Sport A/S. They have high ratings when it comes to Ride Comfort and Performance.
However, I also looked at our tires that come stock on the 18's, and they had better ratings for comfort and quietness than the Pilot Sport A/S! Aren't the Pilot Sport A/S a lot quiter and have a better ride quality than our tires?

Is this even a discussion? Are really suggesting putting $100.00 tires of a 35K+ sports sedan? No offense, but someone should come take that car away from you for lack of respect. tsk tsk
I am of the Pilot Sport A/S mindset as it seemed to be the best all around tire on the market. I love them.
