Suggestions on a three seasons tires?
My second set of Conti's needs to be replaced. The car is a daily driver and I'll still use my winters November through March. I'm not planning to track it and am considering between Michelin PSS and Michelin PA/S, later is to some degree a nod towards Seattle rainy weather.
Any opinions on what would work best? |

PSS and done. Truly incredible tire and better than stockers in the rain.

+1 on PSS, were still fine when it got really cold. Just don't out drive the tires.

You'll love the PSS, exceptionally quiet when compared to the Continentals. Predictable in all weather conditions, even fun with a little frosting on the road

Sorry to sort of derail this thread, but I'm curious about people's feelings on the Pirelli P-Zeros. My car came from the factory with P-Zeros, so I don't have anything to compare them with.
I hear a lot of talk about PSS, but mostly in comparison to the Conti. Is there a big difference between the P-Zeros and the PSS? Better? I really like the "look" of the P-Zeros, as they don't look stretched like the PS2s I have seen. They are the same spec/size tire, but they are actually wider and more square on the side wall. I don't need tires yet (12k miles), but curious on peoples feedback. |

I've had a fair bit of time on PSS and AS3 and they are not too far apart. PSS is the better performer in warm dry and wet, but the AS3 is no slouch. It's barely an A/S tire. The price difference isn't enough to chose the AS3 but if you want tread life or use in colder wet conditions, the AS3 might work for those types. PSS is most likely the better tire for you though.
