Were they the +? I really like the AS3+. I even went with a 275/35 for my current set to increase sidewall. They aren’t too far from performance of my summer 4S. They’re pretty quiet until I make ‘‘em squeal like a pig. The TW rating on the AS/3+ is a tad optimistic.

Ecsta. The guy at my local indy said the same, because the rear is so heavy. Let's see how long the Mich's last.

Not only did they wear fast, maybe 10k on the rears, they were very noisy. So noisy, I thought I might have had a wheel bearing issue. (Didn't)
No track or AX with this car, so no tire abuse

I felt the same way about the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo - the original version sucked; the sidewalls were far too soft and would roll over during AX. The Ventus V12 Evo 2 has worked well for me for years.

Speaking of AutoX. Did you guys ever find a place to do those?

Cuda says he has, but...I've been too fat to autocross since lockdown. As soon as I can fit back into my "I am the Stig" shirt, I'll be back on it.
