Any feedback on the new Michelin Pilot A/S Plus tires yet?
Just wanted to see if anyone has any feedback on the new Michelin Pilot A/S Plus tires yet? I have the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S, and the wear on them is much too quick, so looking for a little bit longer lasting UHP A/S tire.

Luke gave a positive opinion when I asked him for his opinion:

I will report after I make the purchase and have them installed.

The first reviews are in at the Tire Rack.
My own initial impressions, from 50 miles of spirited driving this week-end, are positive -- quieter than the Pilot Sport Primacy summer tires were when new, smoother on bad roads, and as predictable in the handling. Let's see if this positive streak continues after they have been broken in.

C350 Sport Saks 5th Ave Edition
Called to Order. Sorry Luke. I did not even poke my head in this forum until after I ordered. Hope I didn't miss out on a better price from you!!! I can PM you the Order number if it makes a difference.
Had them put on the C350 this weekend. Still wearing them in but compared to other all seasons that I have had on a BMW 3 series they are awesome. Water evacuation is excellent as is wet traction. Dry traction seems just as good as the summer tires I had on there but have not pushed the car hard yet on them (I expect to see a difference at that point)
Got distracted driving home and almost had an accident. Thought I had a green arrow for a left turn and did not. Almost had a head on with a BMW. We both swerved and everyone is fine (totally my fault). Best test of the tires I could think of. They handled great.
For what it's worth, it's a great looking tire IMHO.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I pulled the trigger and am having a pair put on the front next week. I'll post results here when I get some miles on them. Everyone else, please keep me updated on your thoughts on these tires.
