I purchased from a local reputable tire shop. Michelin did have the $70 rebate when I purchased but be sure you factor in shipping, mounting etc. when you compare prices with Tirerack etc.

The Michelin A/S 3 is a good performance, all season, tire. I have them installed on my 135is Convertible. Michelin biases its performance tires more towards performance than to the weather. For example, the A/S 3 is close to the PSS in performance and a little less good than some competitors for light snow and other conditions one might use an all-season tire for. Their Pilot Alpin tires are similarly a bit less good in winter weather as snow tires, but closer to the performance of the PSS summer tires on dry pavement in winter. I just ordered Pilot Alpins as my winter tires for my new utility car, which is a Golf R 6MT, replacing my departed STi.
There is more than one good tire for any application and choices need to be made for your intended uses.
