Great Tires

Purchased these tires for a 370 Z Roadster. They replaced the OEM tires which had 24K. I have approx. 450 miles and so far I am very impressed. Even in a Roadster, I can tell that these tires are quieter and the ride, grip, and handling have all improved over the replacements. I highly recommend these tires. Will post again after about 5K miles.

Best Tire for Volvo T5 Turbo!

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.

Very Good Tires

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.

Tires too Noisy

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.

Very quiet and smooth ride

I replaced the factory installed tires with these Michelin tires and have been very pleased. I have a Mercedes E350 and handling and a quiet ride were qualities I wanted in a new tire. These tires exceeding my expectations. A smooth, quiet and great handling ride are all achieved. My wife's car is a Mercedes C300 Sport. When her tires were in need of replacing we went into a local tire store and was told by the salesman that another popular tire was the best tire for performance. We bought the tire and I can't tell you how disappointed we are with the tires. The handling is very good but the trade off in road noise isn't acceptable. I will buy the Michelin tires as soon as I can justify the replacement. The Michelin's cost is justified with the engineering that has gone into this product. These tires provide the driver the safety, performance, and a smooth/quiet ride that Michelin's reputation and marketing is built on. There is truth in Michelin's advertising that I would speak for.

Pilot Sport A/S 3 on Volvo V50 T5

I have much all weather experience driving in Maryland and I am not an aggressive driver but I do like the feel of a sportier tire and do like to throw the car through turns for fun. I previously had two sets of Conti DWS. The DWS do everything pretty well including snow. But, they offer little excitement. I didn't realize this until I got the Michelin Sport A/S 3. The A/S 3 is a very responsive tire than handles incredibly well in dry or wet. The only down side to the tires that I have found is snow traction where they fell short. My A/S 3's are well into the wear indicators and still handle great even in wet. A/S 3+ here I come!

These tires really stick to the road!

These tires always grip the road. They give you a very secure feeling even in hard rain. They don't slip in fast acceleration. And they look good! My only wish is that they were quieter on the road. But the other attributes are more important. I love how they look on the car.

Handled great....but poor milage

I purchased these tires to replace the ones I had on my Ford 2014 Escape. My scape came with 19 inch tires so I bought the pilot as3 hoping to get better mileage in a better ride .I got the better ride but the mileage was terrable. All four tires had to be replaced after 19000 miles as opposed 45000 mile warranty. Had them for less than a year and now it appears they are no longer available.

An amazing tire

Put them on the daily driver (Ford Fusion) because I wanted a good value with a high level of overall traction. These tires are amazing! The wet traction is outstanding, I've never had any other tire match their level of traction in the wet. They also respond instantly and firmly to steering inputs with huge amounts of grip. A confidence inspiring tire, it feels like the car is on rails when turning. They're also extremely quiet, almost inaudible in my case. They've also got a tremendous amount of stopping power. Glad I went with them. A worthwhile investment if you love your car.

MICHELIN, THE BEST TIRE EVER

I BOUGHT MY FIRST MICHELIN TIRE FOR MY CADILLAC IN 1985 AND HAVE BEEN BUYING THEM SINCE THEN FOR ALL MY VEHICLES. EVEN WHEN I PURCHASE A NEW CAR, I CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR THE ORIGINAL TIRES OUT SO I CAN REPLACE THEM WITH MICHELINS. THE MICHELINS ARE SO MUCH SMOOTHER, QUITER, AND BETTER TRACTION IN WET WEATHER. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO TO MAKE A GREAT TIRE EVEN GREATER.
