You're clearly not well versed in the AS tires of today. You think a summer tire is better in the wet than an AS? Wow...

You'll notice that the dry and wet ratings for the Pilot AS are higher. Now they are more expensive than the summer tires, but so are other "ultra high performance" summer tires. In any event, AS aren't the crap all year round you claim them to be but have fun staying at home when it snows.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
