Little update, since I've just recently taken these off and put my winter tires on.

- Noticing a very slight decrease in fuel economy
- After using them for a while, running them in, and switching to my winter tires, I can definitely say these are much quieter than the Primacies were. People I talk to using bluetooth noticed right away when I put the AS3+ on.
- Significant increase in overall grip compared to Primacies (as a daily street tire, not sure about track).
- Track better on the highway than the Primacies did.

I never used to feel that I was taking a huge performance hit when I'd switch my Primacies out for X-ices, but this year was different having the AS3+. I should've waited a few more weeks. The AS3+ were still perfectly happy at the temperatures we are seeing on the east coast, and my winters are running too hot right now.

Now onto winter #5 for my Michelin X-Ice Xi3's.
