....Michelin said this latest "Plus" version is a total re-design--including a new casing and all different rubber compounds.

So, while I experienced the same quick treadwear on my original PS A/S tires, if Michelin's gonna' offer a 45k warranty on the Plus version, you know damn well they've done something to improve the treadwear.

As much as I love the Pilot Sport A/S, had it not been for the 45k warranty on the Plus version, I would not have been able to justify buying Michelin again.
