What made the A/S 3+ better in the rain? I had the PSS for a few years, and they were utterly fantastic in the wet.

Now you mention you have another vehicle, if you didn't mind garaging your car for roughly 2-3 months when it routinely gets below 40, you could get away with the summers, they would still be adequate for the other 2 months in the 40-50 degree weather just not ideal. but then you would have optimal performance for roughly 6 months a year when its 50+. |

To emphasize that they aren't all-seasons, which is what you implied when you suggested he use them in the winter...

I feel you were trying to be demeaning. But whatever.

I think you're being way too sensitive about the way in which I converted what would have been an emphasized word when speaking, into an emphasized word via text. It's much more of a PITA to use the formatting tools when you're replying on a mobile device. Allow me try again:
Uhh... unless he is one of the few who got Bridgestones from the factory, his OEM tires are summer tires, and should not be used in winter weather. Is that less offensive?

![]() Get good all-seasons for DD, go on Craigslist and buy a spare set of OEM wheels and put a set of RE-71s or Pilot SSes for track/AutoX. ![]() Here's a set of wheels with "almost new" tires on them that could take over for your DD - all in for less than a set of tires alone. Or there are other options. Last edited by Dake; 05-20-2019 at 02:29 PM. |

Obviously each specific tire (like the two mentioned) can/could be different, but generally speaking this is true. |

I have a 45 degree or warmer rule for driving my car on summer tires.

Exactly why I was asking. They are summer tires; they aren't dry tires. Wet handling is just as important of a benchmark for summer tires as it is for all-seasons.
