I put the A/S3+'s on mine about a month ago (1,989 miles ago to be exact)

Even did fairly great the the track yesterday (1/4 mile).. for an all-season.

We got 4" of snow this week. They were all I could ask for. With the AWD, I didn't see the need for true winters, in the Mid-Atlantic.

Note: I have another car with true winters... and more fun winter driving.

The load ratings are for maximum weight.. I'm in the car 97% alone. I carry little to no gear, or passengers. Also, no way I am loading the tires up in the winter.. like I would be on summers on a road course track.

Couldn't be happier with them.

Are you running all seasons in the summer as well?

No. I'll swap them out for PS4's.

Just using the A/S3+ for winters.

Interesting. I was considering all seasons year round as I have another car for days where snow is on the ground.
Saves me the hassle of swapping tires out - but I'm leaning towards dedicated winters

If I didn't track the car (few times a year, not enough for full race set-up)... I wouldn't have an issue keeping these tires on year around.

I say (my opinion) go for it... at least try it out.

I'm looking for a set of winter with best performance on dry road. Will commute a little when rain or light snow otherwise I'll pull out the truck. Any recommendations

Michelin PA4 is the best choice.

It was raining here in ny. At about 100mph I feel slight vibration on steering wheel. Very minimal but consistent vibrations. Wheels are road force balanced. Is this normal for winter tires or should I get the wheels balanced again. These are my first set of winters ever.

my wife tried that in her F-type last year with her original summer pirrelli zeros in two inches of snow and could not move out of the parking lot with a 5 degree bank
