The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's are the best handling all season sport tires on the market. Autoweek magazine issues September 2nd, 2013 and issue September 16th, 2013 go into more detail on testing against other top performance summer tires and all-season tires. Autoweek advisors tested the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's on a dry autocross course beating out top performance summer tires with more dry grip. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's also tested quicker than competitive tires and the best for wet and dry braking distances.

I totally agree, 3 season tire. VERY scary in even the lightest snow. Wet and dry weather is great...go figure. These tires inspire so much confidence in wet and dry that they caught me off guard when it started to snow. This is totally a stiff UHP summer tire that actually works great in very cold weather as long as you don't get any snow. Too early to tell how they wear etc. All I buy is Michelin tires so this is a huge let down for me. I need MORE brand new tires now and another set of rims. :(

Ditched the factory Michelin HX MXM4 tires after only 36k due to wear and dry rot. New Pilot Sport AS 3 tires are just AWESOME. Tremendous grip dry and in rain. Smooth and quiet. Really made the wife's Civic SI feel like a go cart. Hope to get 40k + miles on these tires. Almost went with Pilot Super Sports for ultimate grip and ride but the wife wanted all season tires even though this car gets stored during winter.

I had bought a set 4 Michelin tire for SUV couples years ago, it run very good and now I bought this set of 4 tires of Mihelin Pilot spt as 3 for others car. In my whole life time I always buy Michelin tires for all the car I have had in the past. I always ask question and get answer from those who knows tires, Michelin tires is a trust, I hope you keep making better and better tires in the years to come.

Purchased 2014-Apr-05. Run alternating seasons with winter tires in Interior B.C. Just had my winters put on with a cumulative summer kms @ 15,822 km. BCAA advised me I have one season left with my summer tires (the Pilot Sport A/S 3 235/55R18). Even worse than the OEM Yokahamas which lasted 49,829 km. Running on a 2008 RAV4 Sport.

I purchased a 2005 Crossfire from an auction almost 4 years ago. It had sluggish handling and a rough ride. I was concerned about the right front tire and thought it was brake issue. However, when my mechanic checked, he called and said "It's the tires." He recommended the Pilot Sport A/S 3. I thought I was driving a brand new car. The handling was superb, the road noise was minimal and it was like driving on cloud. I love the tires and would buy another set if needed.

I have just purchased and installed these beauties on my C7 Corvette Z51. Awesome performance in light snow and icy conditions! I researched tires extensively looking for a cold climate tire for my new Corvette and wnet with the new Pilot Sport A/S 3's all around! This morning before getting the tires, it took 4 attempts to get up my 8% grade driveway on light snowy/icy conditions! Now the Corvette goes right up - no problems! I may just run them all 4 seasons - they are that good!

Cannot understand the complaints about treadwear life - haven't believed longevity hyperbole from tire marketing types for over 40 years. My previous 3 sets of summer tires on my 08 Legacy GT lasted only 12, 18 and 18 K km, completely even wear. But my winter tires have lasted the entire 10 years! Wanted less greasy feel at under 10C mornings in shoulder season, so got the A/S3+ last year. Kind of bouncy and whirry at low speed, but VERY precise. Great in rain, in cooler temps, around corners and on the highway smooth, exceptionally so. Very nice indeed for a performance tire. Have a feel of great strength and consistency.

I'd like to start off by stating two things: first, I drive A LOT (upwards of 40k miles a year) and second, I am the most passive, relaxed driver ever- no hard cornering, no hard braking, no hard acceleration, I'm basically a grandpa behind the wheel. I bought these tires to replace the OEM tires (not Michelin) that came with my car that needed replacing after just 26,000 miles hoping to get some longevity and slightly improved handling. At first, I was IN LOVE with them; there was added stability on the highway, they were quieter than the old tires, I felt safe, and they got me through the snow of a Utah winter without any fuss. This past Saturday, I had my tires rotated and found out that two are down to 5/32 and the other two are down to 4/32. These tires are 2 and 3/32 of an inch away from being to the wear bars after just...wait for it...19,000 miles. I bought these tires last September, and they are about already worn, not to mention reduced my MPG average by about 4 per tank...that's almost 60 miles less per tank than I was getting before. I am so disappointed in Michelin. These tires haven't even made it through half of their rated milage and will probably need replacing around 32,000 miles, a whopping 13,000 less than their warranty. Michelin doesn't care. I wouldn't recommend these to my worst enemy. They look nice and that's about it.

Great ride, and performance,...But we have 24,500 miles on these tires and they are cracking along the sides and the front are loosing tread (almost in chunks) along the out side edges. Had allignment checked and it was with in specs.Tires have a 2/5/12 date stamped on them. Mechanic said he had seen more and more Michelin lately with dry rotting. Am just hopeing the warrenty claim is good. Have used Michelin on a few automobiles and never had any problem before.
