[Shotimes] Michelin Pilot Sport A/S

[Jim and Debbie Leyden]

I have the Pilot Sports (not the A/S) and I dearly LOVE them!  Actually, my
wife picked them out, she read all the reviews and decided that those were
what we needed.  We had Pilot XGTZ4's prior to these and the difference is
striking.  I have never seen a street tire that handled this well.  As an
added bonus, the Sports were (and maybe still are) on sale from Tire Rack
for less than the A/S version.
