Awesome ride! I replaced some worn Primacy MXM4 set with the Pilot Sport A/S 3 set. Love the cornering improvement! The ride is as smooth as the Primacy's when they were new, but I think that the grip in both wet and dry pavement is better. Love these tires!

I use these on my daily driver vehicle. This is my second set of these tires. I am glad that I switched from the OEM supplied tires to these Michelins. They are quieter and provide good traction. They made a noticeable improvement in ride quality as compared to the original tires. They lasted 65K miles, which is outstanding for a performance rated tire.

When deciding on which tires to recently purchase in May 2015, I almost listened to chatter about these tires being noisy. So glad I did not listen and went with my decades of experience owning Michelins. I really do not understand the noise complaints? After six weeks of driving on these tires, I find them quite smooth and quiet. I feel most confident, safe and love the handling. I can only surmise something else was going on with the vehicles of those complaining about noise. I put these on a Roaster Convertible where my head/ear is close to the rear tire; absolutely no noise from tires with top up or down. Highly Recommend!

I have been a Michelin fan for some time and most recently replaced my MMX4 tires with newly released Pilot Sport A/S3. I was most concerned about having a quiet tire and these fit the bill! Beyond that they provide excellent traction and handle well on both dry and wet pavement. Hope they do as well in snow. Have logged just 1,500 miles to date. Highly recommend!

I have a 2014 MINI Roadster S. I have been driving since 1962 and autocrossing with success since 1995. I have driven on extreme performance tires, r-compound tires, and racing slicks, both dry and wet. Yesterday I brought home a set of 205/50-16 A/S 3's in the rain. Today it rained harder and I found the standing water puddle on my most driven back road. I heard the right front tire violently cutting through the water at 60 mph but it didn't even tug on the tire nor slow the car as that friendly puddle has always done before. The steering is light. Partly due to 10.5mm of tread and partly due to surprisingly low rolling resistance. Turn in is immediate. Well, surely there must be an actual delay but it is too small for me to perceive. Grip is somewhere well beyond the level I am willing to risk on a public road. They simply track no matter how fast I dare corner with them at gendarme and bad karma attracting speeds. For reference, the car on OEM tires understeered if I tried to have much of any fun cornering. That is, the tires lost grip and the car ran wide which is especially unnerving in a right hand turn with oncoming traffic. These are serious performance tires oh so well suited to a MINI driven in all weathers except snow blizzards and subzero temperatures.

These tires are a little expensive but they are very quiet, extremely sticky and very smooth. Used to have a vibration but not with these tires. Went completely away. Definitely very happy and can't wait to see how many miles they last. Only put about a 1,000 miles on them so far. Very impressed.

Replaced OEM AS which I thought were great tires @ 28,000 miles. The AS3's are head and shoulders above the factory installed tire. They're quiet, grip like crazy in the dry and wet and offer a firm but comfortable ride. I live in the Deep South so snow performance was not a requirement when I purchased these tires. For an MB E Class sedan these are probably the best tires available in the Ultra High Performance category for my driving style and conditions. Without a doubt they're worth every penny spent on them.

I purchased these on recommendation, after trying some other ultra high performance A/S tires. I found these to be stable in the corners with minimal roll in hard turns on both Dry and Wet roads. I was worried about the lack of Winter reviews but bought these anyway. I went to Stevens Pass Wa. to play in the snow, I found these tires to have very good predictability in the snow which ranged from 2" to 6" and fairly good predictability on bare ice. I had no problems driving in the wet, snowy and Icy conditions, these are all around good tires.

Bought Michilin Pilot Sport AS+ May 2012 with 45,000 mile warranty (235/50ZR18). Have driven 35,500 miles and purchse retailer now says I need new tires. Driving is around suburbs with no long road-trips and the car has been into purchase retailer 7 times for rotate/balance/align as required. Warranty appears to be much less than was represented by sales retailer at time of purchase. Product has lasted 21% less than the expected miles and yet the customer satisfaction credit is only11% of the purchase price of the new tires or 9% of the original tire price (sales retailer is recommending Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 235/50R18 for my current replacement). I liked the way the car drove with these tires. Especially happy with snow performance as they handled well. But I am upset that the verbal warranty explanation was so much better on the sales end than the reality on the other side. It seems to me that the customer satisfaction discount on the new tires should be double what it is.

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.
