Michelin Polit Sport A/S 3
Anyone has Michelin polit Sport A/s 3 on their C63? These tires just available few weeks ago. Any comment on these tires?

We were invited by Michelin last December to test the AS3's at NOLA. Very impressive tires for an all season. It gripped even/close to summer performance tires, but lost a bit of razor sharp feel in transitions. For the small performance penalty, you get much better wear and life out of the tires. For a daily driver, I would have no problems using these. Never had a chance to test in snow tho, I'm told that they work well on light dustings of snow, so they could be a year round tire for most parts of the US. But that's from a Michelin rep, and not from experience.

Edit - bonus for the CBS, it's available in OEM sizes. I've been bugging my Michelin contacts on getting the rear size for the PSS, but I've been told there's no plans for it, and to try these for the street. They promised I won't be disappointed.

I am going to order a set of The A/S 3, the weather here is up and down, 8-25 degree, and the last few days, I have trouble with my OME Dunlop, so hard to get the grip (warm up). I like the SS, too bad they don't have the rear size and I do like to keek the stock sizes.

I rode Pilot A/S on my last C63 and loved them. Not as sharp as the Contis or other true perf summer tires but close, and the wear is awesome in comparison. and better in heavy rain.

The tires are available until the end of June here, Canada long wait. Check the Costco to-day may be get them earlier if their stock is from US.
