I just got a set of mich pilot sport A/S plus at costco for a grand total of $930. Since my girl is a daily driver I needed all seasons, and I chose mich because the car came with them when I bought it a year ago. I can vouch for this tires as one of the best tires I have ever driven on. The old set were in pretty bad shape because the owner didn't use the car that much so they were slightly dry rotted. By the time I replaced them you could probably take a chunk off the tire and they were pretty slick in the back. It was bad, but even in the bad condition they were in, they kept me pretty safe and in the dry still griped like glue. They were also very tough tires that could take a hit.

I was infortunate enough to have someone change lanes onto me a while ago on my way to newark. I was in the right lane and to avoid getting hit I hit the curb at around 50mph. The tire held together and even held enough air for me to reach the nearest autozone to get my spare on. When I inspected the tire it had tare on the side wall and no damage to the rim.

Now with the new set it feels good and with minimal road noise. I still have to try them in the wet so I am hoping they are good. They also look really agressive and I like that. The only down side to the tires is that they are quite expensive.
