Don't mean to thread jack but i live in socal..im debating between the PSS the AS3 and the Contis, but for 150 dollars the PSS are much better right? that doesn't seem to be a significant amount of money for performance. if it was like a 600+ dollar difference then yes IMO. not bashing anyone here.

I wasn't aware that they tested the Michelin PSS and Conti DW together. If they did, I missed that article and would actually really like to see it. I should correct myself, I'm not one hundred percent on the capabilities of the PSS in the wet other than what I have read on tirerack. They did say that they were very capable in the wet compared to the tires tested against it. (Advan Sports, Bridgestone Pole Position S-04, and Dunlop SportMaxx) In the test with the Contis that was their claim to fame against the others. The PSS are also a lower treadwear, but not by much. 340 to 300 respectively. I would have loved to have the PSS and would have bought them if I hadn't have gotten a great deal on the Contis. For the size that I'm running they would have cost a couple hundred more for a full set. Plus like I said, I wanted a little more comfort and by my understanding, not what the PSS is known for.
