Hi all,
I don't post here very often but I do lurk on the regular basis.
I just got a new set of tires after an alignment snafu had me change my oem hockey pucks earlier than needed. It pulled to the right quite a bit.
After much internet research and reading on this forum I decided on the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3. These new tires are a night and day comparison with the oem tires. I have only had them for 4 days but I have not had them squeal nor have I had my front tires braking loose under hard acceleration in second gear like the oems used to do.
The ride quality is much more crisp and yet damped. They soak up bumps and seams much better than oem tires did at the same pressure (44psi) yet they are more responsive to directional changes. They dampen a bit the feel of acceleration while communicating more everywhere else. The same can be said when hard on the brakes but still inspire confidence that the stop will be reached without the use of the vehicle in front of me.
I am writing this here because in my research I did not find many reviews for tires and the handling characteristics of our JSWs with them on.
I only have 600 miles on them but I will write more as time goes on
