Remember how I checked the Michelin site at <u>http://tires.michelin-us.com:80/assets/pdfs/doc_pilotsportas.pdf</u> and found no Pilot Sport A/S for the 4.2 Sports package 17" wheels (255/40ZR17)? Then emailed Michelin and got a reply that they "had no plans" to produce that size?

Well, today they sent me this message...

I have had my Pilot Sport A/S in that size for about 8 days now and put about a thousand sweet miles on my new(to me)2000 4.2 Love the ride.

I received a quote that seemed very high for the same tires. Just how expensive are they? Over $300 apiece?
