[QUOTE="mikengail, post: 14559939, member: 143239"] For anyone that doesn't want to do the whole seasonal tire/wheel swap thing, these are as perfect as they can be. Both of our cars are daily drivers. When it snows, we tend to use the Coyote A6 almost exclusively. Last winter, the tires were the major deal breaker. This year, the only advantage my car will have over the Shelby is the A6 and being able to take off delicately in 2nd or 3rd. That's as good as it's going to get with these kinds of rear wheel high output pony cars, unless one switches to dedicated snow and ice tires. As for the A/S 3's summer driving, I didn't notice any limitations over the stock GY's. Admittedly, I don't push the wife's Shelby on the open road and she only circuit tracks it on very rare occasions, still being very much the novice. Yet, in all other respects, it's hard to explain the overall improvement with these tires, unless you drive an A/S 3 equipped Shelby yourself. MUCH more comfortable. Easier on the kidneys. Still hugs the road like it's on rails. Never worry about getting caught in the rain, even at turnpike speeds on long trips. Don't really know how they compare to the GY's in a dig start. We have never done that to her Shelby. Any streetlight runs we've ever made, and they have been very few, were always made rolling from 2nd. Hers has never been to the drag strip and mine has only been 3 times. You may notice a little more road noise, until they're broken-in. After that, they're quieter than stock. The only thing I would have done differently, is make the A/S 3's part of the original deal. I was too stubborn in trying to get all the miles I could out of the GY's. For us, it was 20k, but most people get far less. That soft compound wears down rather quickly. I can already tell that these tires are going to almost double our tire longevity, before needing replacement. Hope this helps... [/QUOTE]
