First impressions with the Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus

Just had them installed today as well as an alignment and so far I am very impressed! They were not cheap but so far so good over the stock Bridgestones..I have 22k on the Bridgestones and the rears were worn to the tread indicators and the fronts were worn on the inside due to the car being out of alignment. Hopefully I will get the 45k out of them that they are warrantied for.

Michellin is best tire brand IMO. Im running AS Sport fronts and AS Sport Plus/AS Sport Plus Zero rears. And I love them. They work pretty good with my 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears rims. They are very stable, and they hold the street well. The VDC's never kicked in since I switched to this tire/rim package.

I really wanted the Hankook's but they being summer tires and me living in VA where the winter months get below 45 degrees I decided to get the all seasons...they were not cheap, around a grand for all four but with a 45k warranty hopefully I will get my money's worth out of them...just wish I could rotate them!

Start with oe pressure listed in the door/owners manual then tune up from there, not exceeding the tires max psi.

Will do...I will check to see what the installer inflated them to, I think 35 psi is what the door says.
