My ISF has A/S+, and they are much better than stock Potenzas (ISF comes standard with them too) and the A/S3 is cheaper, supposed to have more grip, and as long life. And they're quieter than Potenzas too.
AND they tackle Houston's rain without breaking a sweat.


Oh, but them from Costco. Free nitro fill and road hazard. And they'll actually honor your mileage warranty without beating them (just need little/no camber wear)

You have an IS-F too? Thats what I want my next ride to be.. I think its a good step-up! Ill have to look at those A/S tires from Costco lol - I usually go Discount Tire because prices cant be beat. They do get you on mounting, warranty, etc..

What size did you go with? And what was the end price on them at Costco? Im currently looking to change my stock sports as well. Im currently at 33k miles. Im sure I can get to 40k, but Im shopping ahead of time, planning the expense!

The ISF has narrower tires, and it was $1k, $1200?

I have no clue how you're getting 33k out of the rear tires, if you are, stay with stock tires. God knows you aren't going to get any more miles out of anything else

You won't be sorry!
They're not going to be as good as PSS's in the dry though, I hope you know that

PSS the minimal cost verses performance increase is worth it. The Conti is a decent tire but man are sidewalls soft. I really don't like that marshmellow feel. I drove PSS on grand sport vette for entire day on Spring mountain track and have to say those tires are truly impressive. Predictable and grippy. Excellent traction during hard braking and acceleration too.

I have a set of dW on my mini and they are decent commute tire but man do the complain when I push them. And agin that squishy feel isn't best. I wish I had spent more and just got PSS.
