Great tires for spring/summer performance. Doesn't matter if the surface is dry or slick with summer rain, these tires keep you on track, even under hard driving.

The most responding tire ( a previous Z rated by another manufacturer was wormy and way less direct in comparison). These track superbly. By far less road noise too. The ever so slight firmer city ride is by far outweighed by the safety factor in direct response, highway smoothness. Side walls are firm, I had to replace a previous manufacturer's several times due to bubbling. Even the tire installer said that he felt a huge difference in the side wall thickness to old ones that were Z-rated. I am dying to try them in the snow and wet as I read they are top rated there too. Add long lasting to the mix and you can't beat them. Great Tire.

I have had this tire on my CLS 550 for about 1000 miles. I am not a heavy footed driver but I am a high milage driver. Car came with another brand and developed a wobble after 10K miles, those were a HP Summer tire, dumb enough I bought a second set of the same and had the same problem after 10K miles. Went with the Mich SS and those were great but living in Florida the rain here made them meh at best. These pups are amazing, the ride quality is top notch (can't say silent but smooth and handles well). My concern was rain, if you live in Florida than you know Jun 1st is the start of monsoon season and the rain down here is unlike anything I have experienced living up north. No problem hauling on the thruway at 70-80 MPH but in the rain I don't have that hydroplane feeling i did with all of the other tires, it's as if these soak up the water and stay planted to the road. With offset wheels I dont expect to get much out of them, maybe 1 year 15 K miles but so far I can NOT complain at all. Much of an upgrade to all the previous tires I had.

I have been a long time Michelin purchaser, but the company has out done themselves with the development of the A/S 3. The best thing I like about the Pilot Sport A/S 3 is the non-directional tread. The tires handle superbly and they provide a comfortable ride at the same time. The performance in the rain is second to none for a performance tire. Outstanding product.

Purchased a new set of wheels with bigger diameter, so I need it to buy a tire with lower profile . I went from aspect ratio 55 ( also Michelin ) to 45 and I was shocked to see that the ride comfort remained the same, while the handling was unbelievable. I made tests and even post videos on net with the results. They also have a lip that protects the rim from curb marks, very clever. Good price too.

I had the AS3 installed on my VW Jetta TDI. What a difference these tire make compared to the set that were on the car when I bought it. Significant road noise reduction and a smoother ride, without a doubt. Extremely happy with my purchase. When the tires need to be replaced on my wife's vehicle, I'll be looking at Michelin again.

First Impressions. Just purchased 4 Pilot A/S 3's for my '06 Corvette, Immediately noticed the harshness of the ride was gone, how much more quite the interior was. True I only drove 50 miles on county roads and no interstates. Will see how things go in a couple of thousand miles.

Size: 245/45ZR17, ZR rated Y speed rated. Took the first drive on them, there was a horrendous drone noise over all speeds. Excessive harmonics at 50 – 55mph, and again at 70-75 mph; so loud it's difficult to hear the radio. Tire needs redesign. Harsh ride due to thicker sidewalls and reinforce bead buildup (creating low tire compliance). Source of noise: Tread shoulder too wide, sipes and grooves on shoulder too wide and rounded, shoulder blocking grooves are normal to the direction of travel leading to tread blocks slapping the pavement. Resolve this noise by angling shoulder grooving between tread blocks. Overall Poor tire due to noise.

Good performance but very poor wear. Rotated and maintained. No unusual driving. Warranted for 45k miles and lasted only 13k miles. I bought these specifically for the longer wear so I am quite disappointed. Reading other similar customer experience, this seems like a defective product. Did not expect this from Michelin. I will be seeking warranty replacement and hopefully Michelin will stand behind their product.

Only buy this tire if you want to learn how the Michelin tire warranty process works. Tread wear was down to 4/32 after only 18,000 km and only two years of summer only driving.
