I bought a set of Michelin pilot AS 3+ for my type R that I picked up new in February. I only have around $1,000 miles on the tires, but apparently they're already heavily chopped.I drive the car relatively normally, with the occasional higher speed off ramp. I had my alignment checked and it's almost perfect, which is to be expected from a brand new car. Yet despite that fact, all four tires seem to be badly chopped and caused vibration at any speed over 50 mph. Tire rack has refused to do anything for me, and of course Michelin is blaming the car. Screw them both, they'll never get another dime from me.
question is, which tire should I buy now? I've heard good things about continental DWSO6, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't just get dedicated winter tires instead. Problem is, I have another 2 months of relatively dry pavement, but with temperatures below 40, so I can't use my summer tires. Can I drive winter tires in a spirited manner? Or will driving them on dry pavement just ruin them?
