Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3
Anyone running this tire? It's a new tire by Michelin and I can get a pretty good deal on them here locally.

Just had a set installed on my 03. Too early to tell about wear, but head and shoulders over GY runflats when it comes to ride and noise. That being said ,Ive had numerous sets of Mich tires in last 40 years. Never had a bad one.

I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on my 2004 coupe. These must be very close to the tires your considering. I have 11,000 miles on them and I'm very happy with them. They still look brand new and show virtually no wear! The tire shop where I bought them told me I should get over 60,000 miles on them. I didn't believe that at the time. But now I think 60,000 miles should be easy. They drive very smooth with almost no tire noise. I paid over $1,400 for them. If you can get a good deal on the Michelin's your considering I think you should buy them.

Michelin makes some very good tires. If you can get a great deal on them, I'm sure you will be happy with the tires.
I put them on my '01 last summer before I did any serious road trips and some auto-xing. I've been using Michlen for the last 40 plus years on all my cars. Good tire wear and great handeling.

Just put a set on this morning...
Like driving a new car. Picked up an 03 50th Vert about 3 weeks ago, 14700 miles with the original GY rocks on it. New Michelins this morning, man what a difference.

I have the Michelin run-flats on my car, I have had others. None can compare. Going on five years, Not a whole lot miles, just a good tire. You won't be sorry you went with Michelin.

Been running Mich. AS Plus ZP's for 3 years now. AS3's are the latest version. Best tire I ever had on my C5 (I drive all year round). They even got me home after a snap snowstorm last winter, so no complaints. Your pricing seems good (ZP or not? ZP's typically are more) - close to what I paid Tire rack at the time. I did pay another $1100 though for 18/19's and new TPMS sensors. The 18/19 upgrade made a world of difference appearance wise, IMO.
