Wow those Pilot Sport A/S Plus have fantastic ratings at tire rack, i wonder if those all seasons really are that good in the dry? If so, those are the tires to get. I just wonder if they really do handle as well as a summer only performance tire does in the corners. If they do then those will be my next set of tires.
The Pilot Sport A/S doesn't corner as well as a max performance summer tire (e.g., the PS2) on dry roads. They also won't corner as well as a max performance summer tire in wet (non-frozen) conditions. All season tires provide a handling advantage in snow/icy/mud conditions. So unless you expect to drive in snow or off-road, you won't get the best handling performance with all-season tires. However, in general you should expect better ride comfort and tread life with an all-season tire.
