Default High Performance All Season Tires Question

Takin Delivery on my certified S4 soon and am specifying tire replacement choice.

Told dealer Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.
Others I've considered are Pirelli PZeroNero M&S or Yoko AVS dB S2?

Any reccomendations of these 3 choices?

(I know Bridgestone S03's are the way to go but I need an M&S rated tire for occasional snowy weather in Tahoe and can only afford one set of tires and rims now)

Default If they will put the Pilot Sports on, that's the way to go.......

The only thing bad about them is the price, and you don't have to worry about that !!

Default I was going to say Michelin Pilot Sport on the way into this thread, and Im say MPS on the way out

great tire, everyone seems to be on the fence about the Pirelli in that they dont last very long and somtimes there is a lot of road noise.

Falken ST-115's. Quiet, handle great, last long and are very reasonable.

Default Beware the tire sizes on the Michelins

For some reason my Pilot Sport A/S's barely provided any protection for my stock wheels 225/45/17.

My PS2's were purchased in the same size to replace the Michelin's and they wrap the tires much more nicely.

Default Trust me...

You don't want to use them in snow unless you're comfortable with 4 wheel drifts! They are quiet - but they totally suck in the white stuff.
