My conclusions:
The wet traction seems to be pretty good. While I haven't had them long enough to run them through what I call "Monsoon Season" down here, they seem to shed the water quickly, and I've not had any hydro-planing issues, even while driving through puddles. Overall handling is good as well.

For regular dry handling, I would rate them as well as the Bridgestone Potenzas that the Sport models come with from the factory. Though they are not run-flats, and they do seem to have just a little bit more sidewall roll in heavy cornering, for obvious reasons.

All in all, I am pleased with my choice, though it is arguably still too early to say whether or not they will last the 30k or so miles that Michelin says they will.
thanks for the info. im located in orlando too.
my major criteria is off the line acceleration. should i try the AS3 or go with PSS?
