Look forward to seeing the data which shows an AS/3+ is inferior in any given situation, wet/dry, hot/cold.
I don’t work for a tire company anymore and if I did I still wouldn’t be authorized to share the data.

The best way i can describe this is through a spider chart. If you pull one node out, you ultimately pull other node/s in.

You can imagine that tire compounds are improving to the point of magic but it’s not magic. You have various quantities of synthetic/natural rubber where it makes sense mixed with carbon black and other oils.

Michelin is the leader in the tire industry, you won’t get any pushback here, but they’re not magicians. It’s designed and built by mechanical/chemical engineers.

Engineering is not magic I promise.
