Michelin Rocks!

Out of curiousity, what do you think of the pilot sport a/s 3's? My boxster came with brand new ones on the rear but some falkens that are just about worn out on the front. I'll most likely end up getting a pair of the a/s 3's for the front to complete the set.

well I have mixed feelings, especially after Michelin standing behind them

For an all season tire they do preform really well. The biggest complaint I have other than tread life is they are really really noisy. So noisy that I thought I had bad wheel bearings,.
I will reevaluate the noise issue later this week when I have a brand new set on the rear. Maybe the noise was due to worn tires

I have heard good things about the Continental tires for all season

Interesting. I haven't read much about them but I don't recall seeing anything about excessive noise. Let us know what you think of the new set though.

Noisy ? Cant be as bad as my BFG TA TWR. They set the bar for noise. I love the grip though. They came with the car. Next year their coming off.
