How do you like the AS tires? How do they handle?

I still have less then 500 miles on the car, so I've been taking it easy. For a car that handles as well as the GS I feel that the ride is very nice, not to the comfort of a luxury car but very nice for a GS as I would expect. I drive as much as I can with the top down and tire noise is no problem, all I hear is the exhaust as I have it turned to track mode. Again not many miles on the A/S tires but I live in the mountains with many curves and it is difficult not to take advantage of the GS handling which so far feels solid and planted in the curves and I have reached .74 on the g meter (looking at the HUD) as I couldn't resist getting on it a little and that was in touring mode. The car certainly had much more to go and with the A/S tires you can do it year round if the weather cooperates.

Thanks so much for your reply. My GS has 87 miles and is being put away for the winter here in Kansas. I'm trying to decide between the AS and the Super Sports. AS would give more peace of mind on road trips but don't want to give up the wonderful handling with the SS, which I had on my Stingray. Your info will help with my decision!!

Since the tires on the GS are so huge I assume the AS tires will still offer plenty of grip for typically street driving.
