Waiting for the rain to come to test them out and I did a lot of research on these tires and apparently do very well in the snow.
The new plus model is supposed to be WAY better than the origin A/S 3 which was indeed terrible in the snow. The Plus has better snow ratings than the DWS06 on Tirerack though looking at the tread I'm surprised at that - not a lot of lateral edges to bite on snow.

Alright, so a quick update.

I got these installed and went for a spin along the highway and through the city. These are a huge improvement over my Bridgestone Ecopia 422s. The Michelin's absorb a lot of the cracks, bumps, and road imperfections quite well. Handling feels great, and acceleration and braking are improved.

I should have got these a long time ago. These are awesome. Thanks, Revscene! Now I'm going to go street race in my Corolla and FWD drift against the kids on Mt. Akina. :fuckyea:

The AS3 is our best selling tire to date. Much better than the DWS with way less problems

What kind of issues were you seeing with the DWS?

We saw a lot of sidewall punctures due to them being thin. On the DWS06 we have not seen anything like that yet
