Default Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+

New guy here. i have a 2016 modded Z07 with 735rwh. I live in Fl. I am wearing out the oem rear tires within 8k miles. i was thinking about getting the a/s 3+ all season tires. my ? is will i lose a lot of performance with an all season tire? My tuner said i will not hook up at all. and it would be a bad decision.

with your tuner. I would stick with the MPSS tire.

a heavy right foot and 735whp is the reason your only getting 8K out of a set of tires

I think the non-run flats might get you more mileage.

The Michelin A/S3+ have a run coefficient of 500
the Super Sports have a run coefficient of 300
the Sport Cup 2’s have a run coefficient of 180

In a perfect world the A/S3 will run about 40% farther than the SS
and the SS will run 40% farther that the Cup 2’s

in other words the harder the tire (higher run coefficient) the less grip the tire has
if you read the reviews, the A/S3’s still grip well and work for normal daily driving

if you track/drag/race your car, they are the worst choice.
Your right foot is in control and it your choice

good luck
