The first 100km I agree that the tires felt slippery... I think it has to do with the compound they put on them from the factory. I was questioning whether or not I made the right choice. After a break in period, I cannot break loose my 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD on a tight corner. I lose tailgaters on the tight corners and it is a lot of fun doing i!

I purchased these tires since they are the only low profile speed rated tires on the market with a mileage warranty. I barely have 30K miles on the tires - rear tires are at 3/32 and front tires are at 4/32 - basically worn out. Tire wear is even on all 4 tires. I take good care of the tires - B&R every 6K miles(side to side since F&R are different sizes), alignment min 1 per year and maintain air pressure. I've been extremely gentle with these tires since they cost big bucks and I wanted them to last. I really liked the tires until now. They don't grip as well as summer tires in the curves but I was willing to make that trade if I could get better mileage...OEM were competitor summer tires - got 36K miles before replacing. Ride comfort is very good, low noise; didn't see any difference in fuel mileage between OEM and these tires. I would have given these tires an A+ if I would have written the review shortly after I bought them but with only 30K miles on them, they did not last as long as I expected.

if you only have a few thousand miles on these tires you should wait to review; handling is as promised, sharp and great grip. Ride was rough from day one on my Infiniti g37X. Drove them through the winter and now have 23K miles. Wear on shoulder of all 4 is bad, and getting a wap wap sound from one tire. Rotated in Sept. and treadwear is significant. ALL tires should last more then 22K miles unless they're for racing. Extremely disappointed that they are so noisy, rough, and un-durable. Tire care was always performed when due and psi checked regularly. Some spirited driving (how much spirited driving can you do in the winter!)

Second set of these I bought, I replaced the stock Tires on my 2012 Charger with them and the stock set on our 2010 370z roadster. : Comment on the charger, the only thing I didn't like was the appearance in a 20" low profile I could see a lot of the tread pattern and there appeared to be a lot of space in the wheel well. However they rode great. Comment on the 370z, opposite of the charger, in a 19" staggered size they fill the wheel well. Stock Tires only lasted 10k. We will see how these hold up, should be 22k since I can't rotate them.

Replaced oem grand touring tires from another manufacturer. These new uhp a/s tires are for my 2013 Audi S4. All the reviews and the NOLA tests are correct, these tires are amazing. Smoother rolling, tighter, firmer around corners, control handling braking. No Negatives.

These Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires are supposedly "Ultra High Performance All Season" but are barely usable on anything but the nicest of summer days. When it is wet, cold, snowy or any weather condition OTHER than perfectly nice and sunny, these poor tires slide all over the place. They have the worst traction in cold than any tire I've ever owned, and by "cold" I mean anything under Fifty Degrees Fahrenheit. That is truly pathetic. Trying to accelerate onto a freeway is a tricky and DANGEROUS proposition for these UHP tires, the back end of my car slides all over the place and just cannot get a grip. Horrid tires, buy ANYTHING else.

I love my A/S 3'a. The ride is even. The grip is firm. And I've yet to find a situation they can't handle. I have a 323i 5 speed. Whil I'm not a speed deamon, I do enjoy an occasional spirited entrance onto the interstate. Down shift to 2nd, accelerate and they hug the corners in the s curve as I merge into traffic. It's a blast!

I'm driving a 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, which is a decently sporty sedan in the compact range. I've had dedicated summer tires before, and two different all-season tires, including the original Pilot Sport A/S. I can honestly say that this tire is the best All-Season I've ever had, and so far, it's handling just as well as ANY of the summer tires I've used. They're quiet, comfortable, and extremely grippy. I've driven them in the rain several times already, and I have had to work fairly hard to break traction with them. It's almost scary how much control I have in the rain! And on dry ground, it feels like I'm driving on a super-sticky summer tire. I haven't even heard a chirp out of them, even on turns that would make my previous Pilot Sports sound quite loud. The braking also seems to be quite a bit stronger than my previous set. These tires are also NOT directional, like the previous Pilot Sport A/S series. As such, it also does not feel like I'm driving on a rail, ESPECIALLY in the rain. I cannot yet comment on tread-life, but they do seem to have a slight increase in MPG. However, I'll need quite a few more data points before I can say that there's a statistically significant increase in MPG, so I will try to update this review in the future. I honestly can't think of any negative comments to make on this tire, as of yet. If anything comes up, then I'll update this review, but so far I am extremely satisfied!

These tires are great for spring,summer,fall.Theres no tire Id rather have other than this.I do not use my car during winter blizzards,& snow falls but rain doesn't impede the tread at all.They ride & handle great.Just another great tire from Michelin

I needed new tires on my Mercedes E63 and would ordinarily just put a set on Pilot Sports back on. This time I decided that I would try the new Pilot Sport A/S3s as I live in New Orleans where it rains quite a lot. These tires have proven to be almost as good as the Pilot Sports in dry conditions, and a whole lot better in wet conditions. For me these A/S3s are real winners and I will put another set on the E63 when these wear out.
