Ok guys, I know for maximum grip you'd go with a great summer tire, but hear me out on this...

Right now my car has the stocker prius tires. I like the character of the car, I like being able to slide it around and have fun with it...I know ultimately when I can do a track day or two later this year that I'll want a bit more grip...

But I'm giving serious consideration to throwing on Michelin Pilot Sport AS3's as opposed to a dedicated summer. The AS3 would be a massive step up but likely still allow the car to slide a bit with its lower overall limits compared with a dedicated summer tire.

I would really like to hear thoughts and experiences on this.
