Default Looking for new shoes for Baby

I am looking obtaining new rubber all round using the stock rims.
Local tire store recommended that I go with Michelin Pilot Sport or if I wanted to drive all year round then Michelin Pilot Sport A/S
Any one had experience with either of these?
Any other recomendations are very welcome.

I highly recommend the Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S. We have them on the coupe and they are great. Sporty tread pattern and grab very well on wet pavement. And, they cost less and wear better than the Pilots.

I went with the Mitchelins sport A/S last year$550 rears,$450 front. I had little time to shop around as we where due to go on Vacation. If you have the time a trip south may save you a bucket full of cash.Take photo's of your rim's before the install, mine where damaged and I ever got was "ITS CURB RASH"A lot of the tire shops I talked to where quoting 4 to 6 week delivery, out of TO and Vancouver, I hope you fare better than I did,good luck

I have to agree with Inferno on this. The Eagle F1 All-Season's are decent tires & won't cost you a bundle. The car came with the Conti's & I have Dunlop A/S's on the Coupe. The Conti's weren't bad either but in Wisc. I usually stick with All Season's simply because I'm not interested in swapping tires between seasons. The Dunlops are noisy.
