They are great tires. However, once you burn in a good 15k miles to them, they are noisy as heck. They are really good and quiet when they are new, but after 10-15k miles, damn noisy

Im running the Conti DWS's and love them now. I scrapped the OEM Run-flats because they cost about 2x the money than these Conti's. At first, I could really tell the difference in cornering as the run-flats have no give and respond on a dime where these Conti's, you could feel a bit of lag in the response, but the ride is 10x better.
I just got back from a vaca in Breckenridge, CO and these tires performed flawless! I did not have one bit of issues and I was battling rain and snow the whole time. I made up my mind on these after watching the following review by tirerack.com:

Im glad I chose these to run on my OEM wheels and when I buy the Vossen CV3 wheels this spring, I am leaning towards running the Hankook Ventus V12's.

Mine on certain road surfaces have a very mild radial pull. I was able to minimize it with rotation F to R on the right side and will cross those tires over to the other side in future rotations. On a dead level road, the car will track dead true for a half a mile or more, but any crown and some road surfaces will force a very gentle drift to the right if hands are off the wheel. I've got about 20k on this set and they are wearing well and very evenly. Most importantly for me is they are still very quiet, maintain balance, and have good grip in dry and rain.

Keep in mind a lot of roads are crowned for the water to drain, so there will be some pull to the right.

I'm getting a set of the Cooper Zeon RS3-A next week from Discount Tire.
As for the Pilot Sport AS Plus, yep, have had a pull to the right from the moment they were installed. And the inside edges on the front tires are losing chunks of rubber despite proper air pressure and 3 alignments.
No big deal. I've read nothing but positive reviews about the Coopers.
