np. my G came with pilot a/s and they were considerably narrower than the pilot sports (summer) i put on later in the same size.

Based on the specs at Tirerack, the Michilen A/S3's are 9.7 inches wide (tread width) compared to the Potenza's 10.2 inch width. So, it looks like the Michilen's about 0.5 inches narrower for the rears.

I installed the Michelin sport A/S 3's last year in October. I live in Dallas, and as you recall, there a bunch of ice and snow throughout the winter season. The tires held up really well in the ice/snow, don't remember slipping once.
As for summer performance, I think they perform really well. I used to have the Hankook ventus evo's and I hated those. The A/S 3's have a better feel and handle a lot smoother. Stiffness is about the same. Thanks!
