Michelin Primacy MXV4 vs. Pilot Sport A/S

I'm in the market for a new set and I think I'm leaning towards these two. Can anyone help out with any +/- feedback on either one? I like the Pilot Sports- they are obviously more aggressive looking, but I've heard they wear quicker and aren't as quiet at the Primacys. The Goodyear a/s just need to be junked and I hope to be getting these by next week sometime.

Primacy is more touring base which means you'll trade handling for longer life, better ride, more quiet, and better a/s traction.

AS+ is a sport based all season tire. You'll trade the creature comfort's above for crisper handling and better dry traction.

Both are great tires to have, just need to know what part you want to emphasize most.

thanks for getting back to me, my only concern is that the pilot's wear too quickly and i read somewhere you cant cross rotate. After 20kmiles i hear they are junk so i was leaning towards the Primacy's for comfort and they appear to have gotten good handling ratings. I do a little bit of spirited driving, but i figure the Primacys have GOT to handle better than the crappy Goodyear R/S i have now..

Yeah, any of those would be a step up above the RS-A's. However, for rotation and longevity I'd stick with the Primacy.
