Your not gonna get the Grip from the A/S amd they will NOT be great on the track they might give you a problem going around turns.

I have Michelin A/S 3 but I do live in KC where the winters get pretty harsh and it's my DD so I need the traction of all season tires

The A/S 3 is a harder compound tire than the PSS.
A/S3 Treadwear: 500 Traction:AA Temp: A PSS Treadwear: 300 Traction: AA Temp:A My experience with harder compound tires is you don't get the same handling, traction and they are noisy.

So basically, this thread has become a bunch of people chiming in about how crappy tires are they've never owned or driven on a 1LE and then being insulting about it. That's super helpful.
Rick, the tires will be fine on your car, especially if you're not tracking the car or consistantly trying to pull 1G turns, which I'm guessing you're not. |

The 1LE is a relatively uncompromising car. It's stiff, it tramlines, and it's slower in a straight line than a standard SS. If you don't enjoy the single benefit of those compromises, namely the excellent lateral capabilities, I don't understand why one buys the car. |

Again, he asked about specific tires and those who own them. Not for an opinion about whether the tires are right or wrong or who should or shouldn't purchase a 1LE. Last edited by 69Tom; 06-12-2014 at 09:20 AM. |

The few truly street-usable tires that aren't so good in the wet - I'm talking about the ones with really huge tread blocks, minimal rain grooving, and no sipes at all - should be such obvious poor choices for areas where there can be a lot of rain that most people should understand just by looking at them. I'd understand wanting all-seasons a little better if driving at temperatures near or below 32°F could be commonly expected, or even if a bigger slice of ride comfort was desired. But so far there has been no evidence that either of those items were considerations. Norm |

As far as OP not looking for our opinions, it begs the question, why did he post? Did he expect a bunch of people to respond with "Yes" and "No" and that is all? This is a subforum centered around the 1LE, a highly-focused track package that offers serious performance at a serious price (comfort, not $$). The OP just ordered tires that will effectively deep-six a large part of that performance and he, and you, don't expect opinions? To throw another analogy at you, that's like going on a MADD forum and asking if anyone else drove home drunk last night. |

I CAN buy the car I want. I CAN buy the tires I want. I CAN post in the forum and talk about what I want. I appreciate you giving your opinion, there is nothing wrong with that. But you also have to understand other people will disagree with you, which it seems to me it is something hard for you to recognize. So I am going to say it again why I bought the tires. Longevity, they are guaranteed 45,000 miles and I don't fee like changing tires every 8,000 miles. Why not go with the PSS that can last 30,000 miles? First the $25+tax saving per tire is nice. Second, I don't track my car and as I said it before, I just love to look at it. Now don't lie, I am sure you do that too. I don't go to the track, I don't race, I don't drive like a maniac on the streets. I just love my car. Is it that hard to understand? You use your car the way you want, I use mine the way I want. Again, it's my car. Deal?
