Mine came with summer tires. I would imagine it depends on the climate of the area you buy in.

The Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ start making that wind howling sound at like 70-80 mph but you get used to it. I got used to it not to mention the music drowns out the noise, but I could see where people wouldn’t be able to tolerate it d: I just got them installed on my IS because I needed tires for the winter and I refuse to buy winter tires when it hardly snows. The A/S 3+ is a great tire though, I’ve been rocking them on my G37S for most of the time I have owned that car. I had Michelin PSS summer tires on it before that and while those had hardcore grip and awesome wet traction the A/S 3+ are pretty damn good too.

This tells people everything they need to know about the A/S3. The Conti DW is a superior tire for less money.

Lol it’s not that bad. But I’m not going to argue over which tire is better blah blah. In terms of performance the Michelin A/S 3+ can’t be beat in the A/S segment, but the noise is pretty harsh and you have to take into account the price point and the inner tire wear that our cars have. I’m just all about the best grip I can get and the best quality which is Michelin. I was debating the Continental’s though since they seem to be pretty good for our cars from what people on the forums are saying. I wouldn’t say the DW’s are superior though, a better overall package for our cars, yes, but not a superior tire in terms of performance. When warm weather comes around, I’ll probably get the Firehawk Indy’s.
