The dealer offered me a discount on the extra coverage when I picked up the car, maybe I will check back to see if they still can offer that. In the meanwhile, the other day I took the car out when it was cold and wet as it is much of the year here and with the summer tires, it was not much fun. Most notable was how the tires lost traction from a stop and the Torsen diff did its thing. Getting into the first winter with my 2017 BRZ, I swapped out the Michelin Primacy tires for a set of Pilot Sport A/S 3+. With those I could leave the Ascent in the garage. We have a 12% grade to get into our neighborhood. For the cost of the extra coverage, I can get a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4, the successor to the 3+.
