I've always liked the performance, reliability, and quiet ride on the better Michelins out there.

I too will be replacing the OEM tires on my ordered SQ5 with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Based my decision off of the standing and reviews from tirerack

Ive put 1800 miles on mine and love them. They're quiet, handle extremely well, and best of ride ride smoothly when it's cold/warm.

If I get the A/S tires with the speed limited, do you know if dealers can (and will) reverse the limiter when requested if the tires are replaced with better speed rated ones? I will likely never drive above 130 mph but, as you say, I'd like to keep the car in the spirit of "S-ness."

I also read your post on the Costco deal. I am considering getting the summer tires and after a summer on them - and switching to winter tires - go for the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ the next spring.

Picked up my 2018 SQ5 Prestige last month with 20" A/S. Mine came with Michelin LTX Premier M/S.

I've heard of Premier LTX, and LTX M/S, but never Premier LTX M/S? Picked up my SQ5 yesterday with the summer tire option and they came with Michelin Latitude Sport 3. Had Pirelli Scorpion Winter put on right away for now.

Right, I know what M/S stands for. Just saying there appears to be no such tire as a Premier LTX M/S. It's either LTX M/S (2 probably), or a Premier LTX.

I wrote it incorrectly, it's Premier LTX that is rated m+s.

I too went with the 20" wheels and all-season tires on my build. I'm unsure on what tire it will be, if the performance is rated decently then I'll probably keep them through the life of the tire then upgrade to a new Michelin highly rated tire.
