I put the Michelin on my Z06, ( Michelin PS3+ A/S), now I drive the Z n matter how cold it is. I have driven the Z in 13 degree weather, and no slip & slide like the MPSS, I sold my MPSS to a track guy who was glad to have them, & I was glad to see them go.

Michelin PS AS3+ ZP is a no-brainer. I'm year-round, and have still have great street traction from 0-100F. However, I have 2 sets, and am still using the PSS set in the summer until they are worn out. The hottest days of the summer are the only days where PSS has an edge, and it's really only noticeable on the track after a number of hot laps.

Unless you have a problem spending money with Michelin, I immediately traded my new (400 mile) OEM Michelin Summer only run flats, in on Michelin A/S, (All Season) run flats, @ Discount Tire Store. I received 50% credit toward the new Michelins.

90+ percent are going to give you the same recommendation (and me too!) being the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. I like the MPSS during the summer since I usually do some track days as well so I had those mounted on my Forgeline wheels and the the A/S 3+ mounted on my stock wheels for our "winter" months in Washington.

Many, many of the Corvette drivers in my area just run the A/S 3+ year round.

On my bucket list for the car is some all season tires - looks like the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. in a runflat is a good choice.

Michelin AS3+

I have spent a day on the mountain roads. Ice and snow on the roads, low of 2* high of 17*.
The tires were just fine.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ is definitely the best. Impressive traction and great handling.

This is the store that swapped out my tires to Michelin A/S 3+. They did a great job and were super careful with mounting. The operations manager actually did the work to ensure it was done right. To do this right is a real bitch. I watched him dismount the Super Sports and mount the new tires and he earned his pay. They also can be a real pain to get them to seal correctly. I love the tires and love the way I was treated at Discount Tire in Joplin, MO. Got rebates back from both Discount and Michelin. After the rebates and selling of Super Sports I actually came out money ahead. God Bless America.

How much are you compromising in the summer handling with these tires? I put Bridgestone all-seasons in my C6 and there was definitely some trade-off in the summer performance.
