Finding a matching set of AS was a little challenging. Tire Rack doesn’t have any, dealer said nothing was available and local well known tire shops couldn’t find anything either.
I found 3 options online. Accelera Iota, Delinte Desert Storm and Arroyo Grand Sport. The decision was easy. Although the Accelera and Delinte are rated as AS it’s clear from the tread pattern that there is no way those tires would work in any amount of snow. Big tread blocks. Temp maybe. I chose the Arroyo because the tread pattern looks very similar to the Pirelli Zero AS on my wife’s X3M, the sidewall looks very similar to the Michelin PS which is to say good looking, the company is US based, Cali, and manufacturers in Thailand (not China) which is where Michelin makes some tires to.
Price is unbelievably good. $170 a tire and can be bought a few online stores but onlinetire had them the cheapest. All 4 delivered was about $730 with tax.
Here’s a pic of them just delivered. Getting them installed at the dealer next month during break in service and will update with how they feel and look on the car.
