the A/S Michelin pilot sports do not seem to work well on our cars, premature wear and limited warranty on staggered set-ups...what i have read before and after i purchased. my dws contis >>> $556 delivered --- Mich A/S pilot >>> $800+ [as i recall] i paid $750 with install, road force balance, and laser f/r alignment.

I have been reading that some people really like the V12 evo?s. How many miles do you have on them s2murse? How?s comfort and performance in your opinion? How are they in the rain? Thanks

I have just put 20" on my car, so the choice is limited. I went with bridgestone potenza re760a's. Very happy by now. I will see how will those do after thread degrade a bit. Very quiet though and quite grippy. Gl with any choice u make. I would not buy any brand like falken nexen or cooper. Would not risk safety for savings. Mine and my family. Tires are the only think keeping you on the road.

Balbs, don?t rub it in about all the snow you guys get there in LA. I actually don?t mind driving in it here in Chicago; it?s just the idiots on the road I dislike. My winter set handled great I thought the three times it snowed ?

To clarify, I had the Michelin Pilot Super Sports (http://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Pilot...sim_sbs_auto_5), not the A/S pilots. Different tires. I really like the conti DWS I have on the rear's now. In 9k miles, the rear super sports looked like this: and that was with 2 alignments done over the time period the tires were on the car, so the alignment was perfect (-2 camber rear).
