Bridgstone S04 PP vs Michelin AS3

Hey guys I'm in Austin TX and had Continental DWS on my 2013 535i M Pkg. Tires were defective and finally got them changed to S04 Pole Position. Tire feel more agile but not as smooth as DWS and biggest problem for me is the rear tires are not as wide as the DWS even though same size. I have option to go plus size on rear with 285/35/19 or completely change the set to Michelin AS3 with 245/40/19 FR and 285/35/19 RR.

What do U guys suggest what should I do. I know s04 is more performance oriented and as3 all season. S04 is almost $275 cheaper than AS3. I donno how good are AS3 over s04.

I just ordered BMS 15mm spacers for the rear for more aggressive look but can't decide should I still with s04 or switch to AS3.

Thx for reading.

No one had their input but I ended up switching to as3. Major difference is that Bridgestone felt more firm and steering response was too quick versus as3 little less firm and steering response is little slower than s04 but much better than dsw. I think this tire is perfect for me as it kinda in the middle of s04 and dsw.
