Well that's okay you're not the first to point that out, when I was searching for tires I was specifically researching all season tires because of the straight-line tread design, I was trying to get away from the performance tires because they are so noisy on my Roadster. Even if they are not specifically designated a/s they have all the attributes of an all-season Tire and as a bonus they have a y speed rating and my opinion of them Remains the Same. Thanks for pointing that out and I will refrain from using the a/ s designation when describing them.
