Michelin Pilot Sport Owners

Ok i have had these tires for quite some time now, and this is to anyone who has experience with these.
they seem to squeal like the stock ones but not as easily.
they have AMAZING grip, i stress amazing because i have pushed them beyond hard and they take it.
however, i think they give too much warning before giving out.
people constantly get scared when im cornering because the tires are whining. i appreciate the warning alot, but it gets annoying some times.
anyone experience the same thing as me?

Don't have those, but maybe adjust your air pressure. The Pilot Sport A/S I have I can get to squeal around corners but only if I mash the gas going into the turn.

While my Pilots aren't on a CL, I will say they're VERY quiet for me, even in more agressive cornering.

The Pilot Sports? Or Pilot Sport A/S? The A/S are fine in the snow. They are considered a 4-season tire. The Pilot Sports on the other hand are lethal in the snow. Even when I drive with them in sub-freezing temperatures with NO snow they get a little bit skiddish. I'll take the bus before I'm driving my car in the winter with Pilot Sports.

I have the Pilot Sport A/S. Where I live I need the four season tires because I don't want to switch tires in the winter. These tires are quiet, great in dry, wet and snow. On top of that the tread wear is fantastic Best all around tires I ever had!

As long as we don't have a winter like last winter, you should be okay. If it is any where near what last Dec/Jan/Feb were like, better get some snows. Remember the 34" on Christmas day? My Exploder was a mound in the parking lot. TG44WD!
