Michelin AS3+ for the rear?

Anyone have an experience with these tires? Going to get new rears. Any other good recommendations? Live in Seattle so need a good set of all weather tires.

Should I care about run flats (I've got run flat Pirellis in the front)? I've got towing so being able to drive on flat tires isn't very appealing to me...

I had them on the car, they were pretty good. Not so great in snow, but dry and wet traction were superb for an all season. I even took them to the 1/4mi track multiple times and was getting 1.8s in the 60'. They lasted about 35k miles before I got rid of them for a summer/winter combo recently. I still had some life left in them though.

I have them, i dont know what other tires you have tried but I had the as3 (non plus) before and these feel the same. They seemed better in the snow than the previous michelins. Tbh i think that the car works better with run flats, everything on the car is designed for run flats and the handling is worse on non rfts. I dont use rfts because the cost of a flat tire is too high. I carry a full size spare in the trunk with a cordless impact.

Except the PS4S isn't available in our tire sizes yet. They offer a 245/40/18 which could be used on either our 8" or 8.5" wheels, but rolling diameter changes a bit. I may end up getting them or wait for the 255/35/18 size to become available.

Have you tried the Conti DWS? I have them on my winter setup and the Michelin PSS on my summer. Very happy with both.

1+ for Conti DWS.

I have them on my 35d with the 20" sport wheels and we really like them. I had Bridgestones and the rears corded in less than 25k miles. We have 25k on the DWS and the DWS is still completely legible on the tire tread and honestly, the tires look brand new. I highly recommend the DWS tires.

+1 for Conti DWS
This is my second set of DWS. I will buy it again without hesitation.
