actualyl these Michelin Pilot A/S are the ones I am considering replacing my tires with when time comes...however, I've also heard these are subpar compared to the handling vs. the OEMs...any truth to that?

I'm sure there is truth to that...you're comparing all-season tires to summer tires.

Why would you even be looking at all-seasons if you live in TX?

the pilot a/s's are comparable to the older S03's. they are good tires and stick very well (exceptionally well for a/s tires!).

imho the RE050A's stick better but that's if the tires are warmed up enough. in colder temps i change my wheels with the Pilot Sport a/s's (cold as in sub50F). grips very well down sub-freezing..but in snow... LOL
