No vibration any more at any speed. The Dunlops vibrated at all speed and howled from 30-50, and gave a loud rumbling noise in tight left bends that you would swear was a wheel bearing except that its gone now.
Now if the Michelins stay quiet I'll be happy!
Oh yes, Straightrak results in perfectly straight steering on the freeway.

For what? There is no "best" without an objective.
Certainly the PS2 is a better performance tire, as are any number of others.
M3s and TS790s are clearly superior snow tires, as are many others.
best all-season? I'd debate that with the Conti Extremecontact W rated seies.

The objective is a tire tread compound that can work the best in every environment...
the PS2 is a rock under 40 degrees and can't compare to the Pilot A/S in grip. If you live in warm climate all year round than I'd go with the PS2's.
Dedicated snow tires are designed to work best under 40 degrees on packed snow and will beat the A/S in snow/icy conditions but do not have the sidewall strength or tread design/compound to beat A/S tires in rain or warmer temperatures.
The objective is all about tread compound and temperatures.
I have the Conti's on right now and they don't compare to the pilot A/S in sidewall strength or grip in the rain.

Dry and rain condtions. No snow here so I don't need all season. Now using S-03.
The A/S squealed even in moderate corners... and the ABS would come on way too often even for "no event" braking.
Really really really didn't like them.
