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.
I had AS/3's and hated them
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. I barely got 10,000 on the 265’s I replaced.

Mine were AS3, not AS3+.
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.

Those don't come in the right size for the rear tires for me.
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.

Yeah he's got good taste in cars. The wife read me part of an article in which he was bragging about his 15 year old 911 which was the last good Porsche built...

This morning in my back yard in San Diego @ 6:30ish AM...enough hail/soggy graupel to make it look like it snowed.

Next comes the locust, famine, war and pestilence. Not necessarily in that order.
