I will be using the car for long road trips (Florida to Michigan) so I am leaning toward a good AS tire as opposed to a max dry performance tire.
In that case, I would suggest staying with the Michelin Pilot AS 3. It is an excellent all season tire. Go with the non-runflat version though.

It's my understanding they have been discontinued, however I find conflicting info on whether they are or not.

I have 10k this year on my Kumho Ecsta PA51 and more than once got caught in a down pour and they were awesome.
Cold weather not an issue, rain, hot weather, and the ride quality is real good.

They are described as High Performance All-Season for sports cars and I can say yes they are all of that.
Nothing I would take on a race track but on a back road to give it some or high speed runs they work great.
After 10k almost no signs of wear.
​​​160.00 front and 226.00 for the rear and in stock from tire rack

I go to my local guy and he matches the price for me the charges 150 for install, alignment for the life of the tire and road hazard. I had two alignments one at tire install and one after I went to a 3.15 rear gear in the diff.

The Michelin web site lists both AS3+ and AS4.
