Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ Tires

klarinet · 10-03-2018, 09:10 PM

I'm getting rid of the 17" OEM run flats on my 228ix (base trim), and have settled on ordering Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires from Discount Tire. I was leaning toward getting the same speed rating as the OEM's (V rating), but now I'm having second thoughts and wondering if I should go with the W rating. Anyone have experience with these tires, especially after using run flats?

You really need to think about the top speed of your car, the sustained speed's you'll be driving and the top cornering speeds you'll be using. Chances are the V-rated tire will be a good match with a good tread life.
I've had H-rated tires on other cars and they were exceptional, V-rated would be a great choice if your car is limited to 130mph.
