Michelin pilot sport a/s 3+

Does anyone use these tires? I'm trying to verify if these tires are M+S rated on the sidewall.
This information is hard to find. Michelin says they are but to check the tire itself because some sizes may not have the rating on the tire.

It is a legal requirement where I live. Thanks.

I just had these mounted yesterday and it does say that. I can take a photo tomorrow in the daylight.

There were complete garbage in real winter conditions.

f the all seasons.
If you are in a place where you see snow/ice. Get a set of winter tires and rims

Thankyou! No need for photo. Just needed to know. Thanks for everyone elses input too.
We don't get much for snow and ice. I'm retired so no need to brave the roads on crappy days.
Lovin the Stinger btw.

Glad to help, If there as as little as a cm of snow you will want to stay home with those, they really are not meant for snow, wet and light slush, and you'll be fine.

oh.. and as an alternate the Pirelli P Zero Nero comes in an all season, and it's about the same performance wise as the PS3, but better in the snow (but still not great)

Did you have A/S 3 or the upgraded A/S 3+? Michelin released an update during the product life to supposedly help with snow.

The Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires are also out now I believe.

hmmm good question, I don't recall... but I can can tell you that on 2-3cm of wet snow I could slide sideways on a slight incline while stopped (like an on/off ramp)

Sadly, not a lot available in Stinger sizes(19") in my area. Would have preferred "all weather" tires but the only company making them is Maxxis. I had these on the last car with no issues(Yokohama).
Maxxis is only making tires in popular sizes due to covid according to the local dealer.
I think Nitto makes "all season" for this car too but I never inquired about availability.
There are a few brands making dedicated "snow" tires but I don't want the pain of changeovers and storage.

What part of the country are you in?

I'm in the Okanagan, B.C.

Beautiful part of the country!

The original A/S 3 didn't do snow. At all. The A/S 3+ is noticably better. If you see a little snow now and then, it'll get you there and back without inducing panic. Southern VA doesn't get nearly enough snow regularly enough to justify a winter setup and when we do get a decent dumping everything shuts down anyway.
