Luke, what's so bad about the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S? I've seen items on the Forum to avoid these.

They used to have a bit of a problem with maintaining directional stability ( especially on an M-B ).
I know, because I had a set of them.
Apparently Michelin has rectified the problem & unless you find a really old set, they newer ones should be fine.
P.S. I replaced mine with Michelin Pilot Sport PS 2.
BEST tire I've ever had.

What sizes are you looking for? Get the Michelin PS2's, they are, as meanie said, one of the best tires!
