Here in upstate NY, I usually get mine on around Veterans Day. I have snows on spare wheels, so I have waited a couple times, particularly if the weather is warm. They usually come off mid-April, again, temperature dependent.
The differences between a summer and these isn't as much as folks go on about. Yes...last longer and get you more use with the shoulder seasons.@TiGeo I'll admit that I'm slightly amused by the fact that I'm thinking of moving from PS4S as my summers to PSAS4s (after 23+ years of running UHP summer rubber on whatever car I had) and you use them as your winter tires
I've heard really good things about PSAS4s as dry/wet summer tires (including being less expensive and longer lasting), my current ride (and it's current aging driver) don't get the most out of PS4Ss, and I'd get to run them perhaps 6-8 weeks more per year in the shoulder seasons without switching to the full on winters.
I'm referring to reports I've read where people they that the AS4s are fantastic as a high performance summer tire. Curious - do they squeal or howl when pushed? One thing I like about most UHP tires I've run is that they are silent when you're having a little fun unless you're almost sideways.The differences between a summer and these isn't as much as folks go on about.

I actually used the PSAS4s on the track a few years ago when I was starting out with HPDEs....videos below. Yes, the UHP all seasons will howl a bit but so do summers if you're actually pushing them (other videos of Tail of and Back of The Dragon roads below on Continental Extreme Contact Sports) - plenty of howl! Note that I had only 2 days prior on track to this so spare me the critique of my driving as it's pretty sub-par w/r to herky/jerky, not looking ahead, etc. etc. haha. So these are PS4 all seasons....on track at VIR....even at that slower pace...if you can't drive these hard on a public road, not sure what to tell you. They do not have the outright dry grip of a pure summer like a PS4S.I'm referring to reports I've read where people they that the AS4s are fantastic as a high performance summer tire.

That might need a bit more.....
