Once I realized that my wheels were bent and cracked, I replaced them with new OEMs (save the flames!) and had the A/S 3+ runflats installed. The ride was better than the day I took it from the dealer (new). Also, I believe that the all season tires put less stress on the wheels.

I've got the AS3's on my 14 Stingray convertible. LOVE THEM. I've had them up on the dragon and they provided all the grip I wanted without the "jutter" that I used to have with the factory tires on from 2014.

OK, I like driving all year long minus the snow. Michelin A/S 3+ ZP are perfect for cooler weather. Under 50 degrees, those Michelin SS get hairy. They are summer tires only. But I can tell you, Michelin A/S 3+ ZP, don't work well in the warmer weather. They can get loose easy even at 60 plus speeds. I drive a C7 z06 convertible, but I guess if you are driving a GS with less torque, maybe you won't notice it in the summer. SS work very well in warm weather, but like others have posted, they suck up everything in the road. Because they are stickier. Just my 2 cents.

Just purchased a set at discount tire

Wish I lived back there by you. I'd buy those tires in a heartbeat. Glad you like the new all season tires.

I agree. I switched out to Pilot Sport A/S 3+ ZP tires also. Great like you say.
An another very nice feature is they don't track all the imperfections in the road. It's more relaxing to drive without being jerked left and right.
