Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus OR Primacy MXV4?

My stock RSA tires need replacement after 25k miles.

There are only 2 tires I'm considering:

1. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus

Pilot Sport A/S Plus | Michelin Tires

OR

2. Michelin Primacy MXV4

Primacy MXV4 | Michelin Tires

I'm not interested in any other tires.

I can't decide which one to pick. Which one would you pick?

I finally made up my mind. I went with Pilot Sport A/S Plus today.

Got a good deal, under $880 grand total for a set of 4 installed, included sales tax, road hazard warranty (free life time rotation, balancing, flat repair, etc.), and nitrogen inflation.

i had the mxv4's on my acura and tread life was great but rain and snow handling were horrible. I switched to the Michelin Pilot A/S Plus Sport and love them. Great tires. Just got my G 2013 and plan to put them on when it is time.

I waited 25,000 miles! I'm very happy with my choice so far. Road feel and handling are much better than the stock Goodyear RSA.

I also have MXV4's on my Acura. Good tires and they seem to last forever. For sure Pilot Sport A/S Plus handles better and feels firmer. Can't go wrong with either one though.

Great tire to have. Works well in the wet and has some of the best dry handling in sport all season class.

Hi there, I have a 2008 G37S and looking at these tires (Michelin A/S), do they have them now for the staggered setup on the stock 19s? What sizes do you have on yours? Thanks!

These Sport A/S don't come in 225/50/18 for the x sedan. What size did you end up using?
