I am sure it is an excellent tire - but I was hoping it would be the same or even less weight when compared to the PSS.
Using the rear for example (of a G37S) - it is 2.7lbs heavier than the PSS. 26.7lbs vs 24lbs. (admittedly - the PSS is a summer tire).
Still - probably one of the better choices for an all season tire.

Thanks for the update. This is a more specific timeframe than the "mid summer" release that my local tire dealer got from his Michelin rep when I called on Monday. I'm very interested since the initial tests look great.

Unlike me, I don't really have the room for 2 sets of wheels, so the best all season tire will have to do.
That's the consequences that I have to deal with here in New England!

Using dedicated winter tires is the best solution for winter, but summer tires aren't always the best solution for summer, not for a DD anyway. If conditions are good, sure, there's nothing better, but as soon as it rains you're SOL. What's interesting is the claim that these tires can perform as well as or out-perform some summer tires. Maybe not the best of the category, but it seems that they can compete, plus they have good handling in wet conditions. Worth a look IMO.

Rochester is correct. Summers are usually better in rain than all-seasons. If you don't face snow or temps under 40, you should be fine with summer tread. I run Summers for 8 or 9 months and dedicated Winters for the remainder.
