Would help if you also gave a list of your priorities.... (I'm also surprised you aren't considering Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position).

I personally love the Pilot Sport A/S, as I ran that prior to switching to Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS. The RE960AS have better wet grip than the Pilot Sport A/S. Dry grip seems to be a toss up, but the RE960AS have a 40,000 mile warranty. I don't expect the tires to last that long, but I plan on cashing in on the warranty if/when they wear out earlier. The Pilot Sport A/S are little spendy in my opinion.

I hear great things about the F1 A/S as well.

well i guess the main thing was picking up some all-seasons this time around. i've stupidly made the mistake of getting yok AVS ES100's ...probably like 2 sets already? then had the Falken Ziex's (note in the past 4 years i've only had my car with me for 2, the other 2 years i left it in NY) then switched to a pair of Raptors...which basically lasted me a year....but the main point was that all these tires leave me sliding all over the place in just a little bit of snow or some medium rain, hence my 4 choices were all-season tires.

a lot of the reviews i read for the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position noted alot of noise, and most of them apparently didnt perform as well after a year.

but yea, the main reason for these 4 is that they are rated for all-season and buyers have made comments regarding their performance in snow/dry/wet

Interesting... I've had my RE960AS for about 9 months... They performed great this winter, in the 7-8" we got a week or two ago. Wet traction was great, as like I said earlier, I think they are better than the Pilot Sport A/S in the wet...

As far as noise.... I don't know... I can't tell the difference between them and any other Ultra High Performance All/Season tire, except for the Continental ContiExtreme Contact, which I can tell are a little noisier... Why wife definately thinks the RE960AS are quieter than the stock garbage that came on the TL.

But like I said, the Pilot Sport A/S are excellent. I thought they performed as great the day I bought them, until the day they went to the wear bars. I can't remember the mileage I got my RE960AS without looking at the paperwork, but I think I put about 12,000 miles on em' so far... So far they are holding up great.

thanks for the info, i guess i have a bit more research to do!

but that's the best part imo...because when you finally make a choice, it feels good to know you did work to back the choice lol

I've owned the Michelin Pilot A/S's for the majority of miles driven since 2001. Total of close to 250,000 on three different Acuras. I highly recommend them.
Good wear (40k+), low noise, high all season performance. Only drawback is that they are pricey....but IMO worth it.

Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season 95Y vs. Yokohama AVS ES 100 in performance - just out of curiosity, which one does better?
