***New tires***
So I'm eating my words... I have the Michellin Pilot Sport A/S and I hate them! I really miss my Pirelli's and all their road gripping, wide splendor. So, it looks like I'm out of $1600 and a car I really used to love driving.
I'll more than likely end up buying a set of Pirelli's and selling the Pilots (If anyone's interested--PM me)

Also make sure the pressures are not too high. That can make a big difference. Should use around 38 or 39 all around when cold. Adjust as needed from there. They shouldn't be that bad.
The Michelin Promise Plan says the 30 day window doesn't apply to "Original Equipment". It's my understanding that OE refers to equipment on the car when purchased--not replacements. Or is it I purchased an OE tire, so now I'm stuck? I'll call Michelin to get it ironed out tomorrow. Thanks!

I bought my car with 8000 miles on it and the front Michelin PS2 were just about wore out . I just thought that the previous owner had been a real aggressive driver. I replaced them with the same and here I am now at 16,000 and tires are pretty well shot. The rears are still ok with maybe 3 more thousand to go. My wife drives this car really conservative most of the time. We had the thing re-aligned thinking this was the problem . We live in real high temps and I think these tires turn to chewing gum in the heat. I know other guys with the same car and different tires and theres are doing way better than 8000 miles.

My brand new '15 Panamera GTS came with them. I have about 1200 miles on them so far and found them to be superb. Grip and stability are great; they are quiet when cruising on the freeway and in yesterday's rain they performed extremely well when cornering and braking.
This is not the car I will take to the track or an autocross, but it still performs on country roads and I've found the Michelin Sport A/S to be great.
You live in NC? What part? Do you really need an All-Season tire? If, so, the other ones are extreme performance summer tires. If you do need A/S, what you have is a good choice.
