I agree, the PSS should be better in the cold than the RE-11's since they aren't as aggressive of a summer tires.

The PSS is definitely the way to go, especially considering your requirements. They will take care of everything you need and then some.

Not to mention the best warranty in the business for high performance tire.

Get them..........now

so as long as I dont drive in snow.. I would be ok with summer tires?? I know the factory were summer tires.. but that wasnt by choice.. I was under the impression that driving below 40 F would be better with A/S tires?

Also the PSS vs PS A/S is a 30k mile vs 45k mile tire so I would get say 15k or 22.5 k right ?

I'm not going to lie, summer tires do not like temps. below 40 degrees. They are still perfectly safe imo, just be prepared to spin much more than usual when temps dip below 50 degrees. As far as normal driving you will still have more than enough grip to still be considered safe.

It would be for me because I'd choose the RE-11's regardless of the lower cold weather performance, as long as the car will NEVER see snow. But that's because I really do not want to give up overall grip during my spirited summer driving. Also, I don't plan on ever tracking my car either. Or use it during the winter, but even if I did I'd still opt for the RE-11's.

Easy for me in Hawaii..... lol but I think the OP would like the A/S+ He's already stated he doesn't drive spiritedly and is looking for a long lasted tire that's going to be smooth and good in all weather. We all know why WE personally would choose the SS or the RE-11's but from the sounds of it, the A/s+ would be more suitable for him. Dammit, I still sound like a tire salesman even when I'm not at work lol. Not to mention, the A/S+ is probably cheaper.
