Bridgestone Weather Control A005 vs Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ — Compared

“Are you talking about the all seasons or the summer tires? The summer tires are a terrible choice and you will likely go off the road at some point. Summer tires get hard as a rock in cold temps since they are not meant to be used in winter. If you're talking about the all seasons, I had Pilot Sport A/S 3+ on my 2016 S6 and they were just terrible in snow. So bad that I replaced them after only ~10k miles and put on some Conti Extreme Contact DWS, which were far superior in bad weather. If you want a true all season that can be useful in winter, I'd go with the Contis. But if you are going to be driving in bad weather regularly, get dedicated snows. All seasons are passable here and there but not confidence inspiring.”

“Michelin Pilot Sports - A/S 3+ Good Enough? About time for me to replace the stock tires on my mustang. I'm trying to save some money here without sacrificing too much performance or reliability, but this is just my daily after all. I was comparing prices on the Continental DW06, Toyo Extensa HP II, and General G MAX RS, based on budget conscious recommendations for fun fastish street car tires. But then I noticed the website I was on has a sale on Michelin tires right now. I could get a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3+ for much cheaper than any of the above options. I've heard good things about Michelin but I know the PS A/S 3+ is an outdated model, and before I pull the trigger I just want to know if there's any reason I should NOT go for this older model.
