Which would you choose? I kind of narrowed it down to these two Michelin’s. I have the oem staggered 19’s with the sports suspension and 4matic. I want something definitely more softer/forgiving than the run flats, quiet, with great handling. It doesn’t snow here but I do have a place in the mountains that’s usually at snowlevel in the winter but it’s usually light and I wouldn’t be driving much in it so I don’t really NEED an all weather.

PS4 is a very popular tire right now: super grippy and wears very well so far on mine. A bit on the noisy side but that subsides as time progresses (you get used to it).

Hmm, would you say they’re more noise than the run flats? I wanted something quiet.

I've had very limited user time with runflats, less than 11K miles, but did notice they have a certain, volume, as well. I've been DD'ing these PS4's and they're doing just fine.....then again I have that AMG roar too

if you want something that lasts longer by compromising the handling a little bit, a/s3+. If you don't care about the wear and just want good handling, ps4.

I have the A/S 3+, fantastic tire. Grippy for an all season and super quiet. Very comfortable too. Doesn't do that bad in the snow either.
