Default Michelin Pilot Sport A/S - should I get these?

Hello,

Does anyone have an opinion on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

I was told by one person that they don't handle well in the heat, is this true?

Thanks

I have the regular pilot sports! they come OEM on the SRT.
IMO they are excellent dry weather tires. Sidewalls are a lil bit on the soft side, but I love these tires.

Yeah lots o money, but once youve tried :o
If they didnt come OEM I'd never consider them because of price.

these tires are expensive - the dealer will be paying half the cost, so I'm looking at around $500 for all 4 tires.

Any other suggestions?
My sizes are not easy to find.

FRONT: 225/50/WR17
BACK: 235/50/WR17
