Here is quote from one of the press reviews:

The third test was the most interesting for me. It was a dry auto cross using Subaru STIs. For this test we compared the Michelin A/S 3s to competitor's summer tires. Normally you would compare the Michelin Pilot Super Sport to the competitor's tires we used during this test. The STIs were 6 speeds and they were lots of fun to drive. Again we rated the tires on a 1 to 5 scale. Here are my ratings:
Tire Rating
Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 4.5
Continental Extreme Contact DW 1.5
Pirelli P Zero Nero 4.0
Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position 3.5
It was somewhat amazing to compare a Michelin all season tire to the summer tires from the other companies. The feedback and recovery of the Michelin tires were excellent. There was much less drama when driving the STIs with the Michelin tries.
This tire appears to be putting out some incredible performance #s for an all-season. Fortunately, it appears that the tire may be available in many smaller sizes, which was not the case with the Pilot Sport A/S.
Who's interested in a set?
