Michelin PSS Year Round?

Anyone own a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the southeast? Specifically Georgia?

I know they are summer tires but does anyone keep their set on year round?

I routinely run PSS year round in Texas, but we pretty much just have 1 season.

PSS in freezing conditions, or on snow? No you will die. The few odd days I've driven after rain turned freezing overnight on overpasses was dicey as faaaawk. Many cars wadded up at the base of an overpass and an extremely touch and go clean pass over.

I grew up in NH, I know how to drive a RWD vehicle in the winter, and its fun watching Texans wad up their cars when I tool on by.

I agree with Stuck. Michelin PSS in the cold and snow is not a good idea. I would recommend either Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ or the Continental DWS 06s. You will lose very little dry handling, but gain the all season performance you'll need.

Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ is exactly what I put on my car. Living in Seattle, WA; the weather changes all year round. Luckily we have been having sunshine for like 4 weeks now but it rain and even snows. These tires handle it all.
