Considering the Michelin all season tire outperformed some of the respected summer tires from other companies, why is it not worth considering for the Z?

Mind you, I'm not tracking the car (but I do believe in "spirited" driving ).
Sorry that is just my useless personal opinion. I lived in ATL before and with Ice-storms or snow most folks didnt have a need to be on the road as the State/County etc didnt have much clearance capability.

Given that the summer PSS' are just so good and bring the car up to a touch higher standard why not. Treadwear wise its not that much difference.

The new AS3 does appear to be a cut above in the All Season world with this review on the link I found. I was impressed.

Im in Germany and use PSS for summer and have Blizzaks for winter. Roads here are well maintained but you do need true winter tires due to temperature no matter. Below 7C as an average, summer tires are hockey pucks. Braking and grip are noticeably affected.
