Very impressive

Let me start by saying the ride I now get with my Dodge Challenger SRT8 is nothing short of fantastic. Smoothness is the name of the game and that is what I now have. I'm impressed by the technology that has gone into the development of these Pilot Sport A/S 3. Now if I only get the mileage that you all have rated the tire for, then I'll be extremely happy and ready for another set.

Good tire but gas mileage is now awful

I have purchased many sets of Michelin tires for a number of cars. It's the only brand I buy. Purchased these tires in January 2014 after at least 3 calls to Michelin and one to where I bought the tires to try to narrow down the choices in the Michelin line. I was told that it was a good choice. I replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Rav4. The Michelins handled well in various types of weather but I immediately noticed a 2 -4 drop in MPH. Thinking it might be the extreme cold weather and/or the winter fuel mix that gas stations use (I was told) ,I decided to wait a while for the weather to change. I would like to point out that I check the pressue in my tires once a week with an accurate guage and always keep the pressure at 32 which is what is recommended on the tire placard on the vehicle. My vehicle is is top running condition and I want to point out that the drop in MPG was immediate and still varies between 20-22 mpg from date of purchase until present. I used to get 22.5 to 25 mpg. I drive the very same roads that I used to. So even though these are good tires I have to caution that your mpg will take a hit. Not what I expected.

Thank you for providing your feedback in regard to your experience with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Worn out way too quickly

When I went to have the tires installed for the summer the tire center told me they were worn out and wouldn't install them on the car. There is approximately 25,000 km on the tires as I only use them for two seasons and my Michelin winter tires are wearing fine with about same kms. I asked if there was any warranty and they said it was a mechanical issue with car and not a tire issue. I checked my maintenance records and I had alignment prior to installing them so I don't believe a mechanical issue. Very disappointed as I am (was?) a Michelin tire guy.

Wow!

Replaced P-Zero P255/40ZR19s on a 2012 supercharged 3.0 Audi A6 with sports package. Much quieter and softer riding tire. Noise at 70mph measured 79dB with the P-Zero vs. 70dB with the Pilot Sport A/S 3. Wet traction is VERY impressive. Concerns over changing from a summer performance tire to M+S tire, were pleasantly surprising; this tire turns in very crisply with linear response. In all a great tire.

Excellent Handling w/ Drop in MPG

I purchased these tires because they looked like the perfect combination of attributes that would increase my Accord's handling and grip without loosing efficiency or all weather traction. And they are have been fantastic tires that have dramatically increased my car's handling while being comfortable and with a 500 tread wear rating they should last. But I have noticed an immediate drop in my fuel economy after having them installed. Although these tires are in the Green X category for being fuel efficient like the Primacy tires they replaced (and the Energy tires they replaced) there is a definite cost for all of the incredible grip that these tires produce. I've had my car and it's alignment checked out twice (by the dealer and another shop) to make sure that nothing else could be causing my 3-4 mpg drop since installing the tires. Disappointing, but even with this downside, I still smile around every corner with these Pilot Sport AS3s.

Smooth and quiet

Immediately noticed the quietness and smooth ride. Time will tell how they wear but I average 60,000 miles a year, so it may not take long, based on the warranty. But I have seldom been disappointed with Michelin products. I've always worn my original equipment out but always replaced them with Michelin products.

Excellent all season performance

It provides total grip in the snow during the winter and great traction and performance in the warm seasons. I once accidentally drove over cracked glass pieces and was worried my tires were ruined but they were just fine. The tires lasted me years and I drive quite a lot of miles per year.

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.

michelin tires

wearing out at 20000 miles. Did not perform well on ice and snow. I thought I may have had a bad batch from the factory. These came on the car. Very disapointed. Never had tires that wore out this quickly in 50 years of driving. handles ok in warmer weather. I regret saying this my previous expereince with Michelin was they made very good tires. sorrey about the spelling as I can't find the spell check.

Outstanding Grip

These tires have fantastic dry grip; easily the most grippy all seasons I've had on a road car. In the wet they are more than sufficient for a daily driver. On snow these are perhaps the best non dedicated winter tire I've driven. And on ice these tires maintain enough grip to commute with confidence. Fuel economy took a slight hit on the highway compared to my previous tires. Ride noise is slightly higher now too, but well worth the trade in grip. Bottom line, I would stongly recommend these for any driving enthusiast looking for all seasons.
