The OEM Pilot Sports just wear out too fast for me(15,000 miles max), I need something with longer(25,000+ miles) treadlife. I don't mind paying $200 for a tire as long as it has better treadlife than what I'm getting now. I'm considering the Pilot Sport A/S tires, does anybody have this set up on their C230? Would it be a mistake to put these on? I live in Florida so performance in snow is not a factor, but performance in wet weather is very important.

i have some on on my c240.... i previously had 225 40 18 ps2 on my car but like you said.... they wear out too damn fast.... i think i acutally got 25k on my tires... but they were basically bald when i changed them.. plus i dont drive my car like a race car... really dont even need performance tires..
my last set of tires are the A/s... as of right how i think ive put about 6k miles on them and im pleased... honestly i dont notice much difference between the two... besides the handling in the snow.. ps2 i had no traction so in the winter i would change to my stock tires/wheels... we just got hit with several inches here in kc and ive noticed improvements in getting around with the a/s'....
they are alot of money... 230-240 apeice plus mounting... there are some brands that you could get all 4 for around 300-400....
