Correction to Tires Post

[Todd Phenneger]

Also,
  FWIW, I have read some tests between the Michlin Pilot Sport
and the Pilot Sport A/S.  The A/S is VERY close to the summer
sport in every Category.  In Wet they are nearly Identical with
the A/S being better in deep water (hydroplaning) but similar
traction.  In the DRY the summer tire was better but not by
much.  For a daily driver car that will possibly be drivin on
nice winter days but not in SNOW/ICE the Pilot Sport A/S seems
like a GREAT tire to me.  Although very expensive.  Michlin
considers it the most advanced tire they have.
  Just some thought from my brain to yours. :-)
