I've got the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and they are absolutely amazing. I'm in Socal so summer tires are all I need really. They are the best overall rated tires on Tirerack's summer tires comparison. That plus tons of personal recommendations made my decision for me.
Replaced my dunlops 2 days ago at 43k with Pilot Sport AS 3s. Love them so far. Super sticky
I've have a great experience with Michelin Pilot AS/3's. They'll get you around in the snow but also perform really well in dry conditions. Their grip in corners is really strong and they don't let go.
What I can tell you is that the AS 3's have eliminated all the road noise, my handling is vastly improved, and they grip like hell - I used to get chirps when I would floor it off the start between DSG shifts. Not anymore!!
Just got the Michelin pilot super sports. They are nice...much better than my crapinentals
I can only speak to my new Michelin Sport AS/3 . I find them to be great and a much better tire than the original Conti's.
Tires are 235 40 18 GT Radial Champiro UHP1 Ultra-high performance summer tire ^ VERY sticky tire w/stiff side wall (nice handling and picks up lots of little pebbles - but I would not trust this tire below 40 degrees)
Dedicated set of Michelin XIce XI2 in 215/65R16 - AWD Highline Tig. Picked up a set of dealer take-off oem 16x6.5" tig wheels. Toronto winters with many trips to the cottage / snow belt. The offset / narrow width does result in an inboard look, but easily fixed with some spacers.
I run a set of GT Radial WinterPro HP. 245/45/17 all around. Very cost friendly set of tires @ <$100/ea.
I had a great winter season last year, even in the midst of our huge snowstorms and freezing weather.
Confirmed, mine also came with 235/45/R17 Michelin HX MXM4 Pilot tires with an M+S rating, so they are rated for some level of mud and snow service. So far, the little bit we have driven the car it seems to handle ok on the snow and ice, and seems to grip the dry pavement really well.
