Our car: 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible with Ford's SVT CAI upgrade (540hp-500pound feet torque). Immediately rode better, smoother and quieter on the new Pilot Sport A/S3. Great traction (mostly dry roads as I try not to use in wet weather conditions). Installed May 2016 so this is second summer of use.

The AS 3 was recommended by my tire dealer and I'm glad I took his advise. Two days after installation left for 12 day trip to Ohio from NJ. Drive, drive, drive. Great tire on dry and wet roads, highway and/or local traffic and speeds. Gripped like a Tiger, loved them.

Replaced OEM runflats on my Mini S. The improvement in ride and handling was dramatic. It would have been hard to convince me that the Mini could handle any better than it already did but these tires hold like they are glued to the road. Wet handling is also outstanding. There has also been a significant improvement in ride quality. The OEM tires (high-end name brand) were harsh at best. These tires although firm to not transmit nearly as much shock through the car. They were difficult to find but well worth the effort.

Use these as summer tires only. They wear very well. They are nosier than my winter tires, also the dealer I bought them from used nitrogen, when I check my air pressure and have to add air I do not have nitrogen. I was told that is O.K. but seems no one knows for sure. Also had a flat so I have three tires with nitrogen and one with out, is this O.K.?

I started using Michelin tires in the 1970's when the major retailer I worked for began selling Michielin tires in their auto centre. Since that time, I have been riding on Michelin tires, and have been completely satified with their wear, traction and handling features. Recently, I purchased a set of Michelin Latitude X-ice winter tires. They performed better than I ever expected, which gave me great confidence while driving in all winter conditions. Last month I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 (XL). I chose these because I could not obtain a Michelin winter tire for my vehicle with 20" rims, and these are rated "all season". My only complaint is that I had to purchase the Pilots in Michigan, as there were no tires available in Ontario. My wife drives a Mini Van and she is riding on Michelin Defender tires. She has noticed a positive difference in the rain/snow handing of her vehicle with the new Michelin tires. In summation, if you have a choice, choose Michelin!

I have had these tires for about a week now. They are on a 2012 Dodge Avenger. These tires offer great handling in wet weather, awesome dry handling. I can't really speak for snow just yet. I love the way they feel on the road. Great tire!! will definately be buying these again for my other car.

Dry and Wet performance is excellent, however their performance on compact snow is almost zero. I could not get over the "curb" leading to my driveway. In Michigan, this makes the tire almost useless. I would not recommend to others, nor purchase them again.

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!

I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sports on my Porsche and I know how great they are on and off the track. I put the A/S3 tires on my Astra for everyday driving and was impressed how they grip and fell, dry or wet, even down to -8 deg C. Huge improvement over the factory tires. As this car is completely stock, I thought they would be wasted on it, but I'm glad to have them. No negative comments.

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.
