This tirerack review has the Michelin come out on top in all categories, including winter driving and noise levels?  https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests...y.jsp?ttid=216 |
The softness which helps with DWS06 cold/snow/ice superiority also allows for a quieter tire versus the AS3+. I'm not sure if we're all looking at the same information on tirerack.com. Here are two charts which show the relative difference in performance on snow/ice.
