Comments about Pilot Sport A/S Plus:
My Lexus goes through a set every 20,000 miles, last tire I bought was Pirelli, they lasted 10,000 miles, and since my Wife's Lexus also goes through a set in 20,000 miles, I'm going to assume it's the cars and or roads, The Pilot Sport are good riding, and never seem to need air, expensive, but what isn't these days. Besides you don't put cheap shoes on your feet, why risk your life with cheep tires

Comments about Pilot Sport A/S Plus:
No matter which Michelin product you choose, you're definitely riding on the best money can buy at any price. Actually, although Michelin tires appear to be more expensive at initial inspection, you suddenly realize that buying cheaper tires will only cost you more money in the long run. During the same amount of time you would ride on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, you would have gone through 2 or sometimes 3 sets of an inferior brand, so you've only bought cheaper tires more often, which ends up costing more. Not to mention the headache. My airplane(Cirrus SR22 GTS Turbo), 2002 Mercedes E55 AMG and 2008 Mercedes E350 4Matic all wear Michelin shoes, and nothing less. Do your homework, or find yourself on the side of a road wishing you'd spent more up front for some Michelins.

Comments about Pilot Sport A/S Plus:
I bought the Pilot Sport A/S Plus in September 2010 for my Lexus LS400. Since then I have placed approximately 25,000 miles on them. I only use them for three seasons; I have a separate set of winter wheels and tires. After 10,000 miles, the tires began to show edge wear and became quite noisy. Repeated rotation, balancing, and trips to the Lexus dealer to check alignment have not helped the wear over the last 15,000 miles. Now, the tread looks as if it has been sliced inward along the edge with a razor. The dealer recommended replacement during my last service appointment, and so I am considering the Primacy MXV4. I would not recommend these tires at their premium price given their poor quality and premature wear.
