I just bought my second set of Michelin A/S 3 tires. I am a spirited driver, and these all season tires handle like high performance summer tires. The braking and handling are simply phenomenal. Handling is more important to me than treadwear or comfort, and I must admit that these tires are somewhat noisy. My first set did not last anywhere close to 45,000 miles, but I never really expected them to. If you need 3 season tires and don't want to sacrifice handling/braking, this is a great choice. If you will be doing a lot of driving in snow, you may want to consider other tires or buy a separate set for winter use.

My new car came with other than Michelin tires. I tried to get them to change them but they would not. After driving for a month on my 'other than Michelin tires", I returned the car for a change to Michelin tires which at 80 years old, I have always had. What a difference!! Now my new car rides and handles as it should. What a joy. The performance by comparison is a world of difference and all due to my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 tires front and back. Thank you and buy this kind, you owe it to yourself to drive in the luxury of Michelin.

Changing to the MPSAS3 made our already great car even better. I felt an improved connection to the road. Yes it was stiffer but not in a way that was more uncomfortable but rather it was like upgrading the dampers on the car to the "sport" version. Braking was improved in both wet and dry and the handling was very rewarding. The car goes where I point it and it is predictable even in the snow/ice mix. This is an All Season and does not compare to a full ice and snow tire but it is by far the best All Season I have been on. I am extremely pleased with the tire.

I have had this tire on my CLS 550 for about 1000 miles. I am not a heavy footed driver but I am a high milage driver. Car came with another brand and developed a wobble after 10K miles, those were a HP Summer tire, dumb enough I bought a second set of the same and had the same problem after 10K miles. Went with the Mich SS and those were great but living in Florida the rain here made them meh at best. These pups are amazing, the ride quality is top notch (can't say silent but smooth and handles well). My concern was rain, if you live in Florida than you know Jun 1st is the start of monsoon season and the rain down here is unlike anything I have experienced living up north. No problem hauling on the thruway at 70-80 MPH but in the rain I don't have that hydroplane feeling i did with all of the other tires, it's as if these soak up the water and stay planted to the road. With offset wheels I dont expect to get much out of them, maybe 1 year 15 K miles but so far I can NOT complain at all. Much of an upgrade to all the previous tires I had.

These tires are the best handling tires I've ever tried. They are quiet, smooth and hug the curves. I have them on my Toyota Celica GTS and love them. I read other reviews where people slammed these tires because they did not handle well in the snow. I am sorry but who looks at these tires, a sport tire, and thinks they will be good in snow? That's what dedicated winter tires are for!

-- 2013 Ford Flex Limited Edition AWD EconoBoost -- I have had 2 complete sets of 255/45ZR20 101Y Pilot Sport A/S 3. Both sets were AMAZING up to about 10,000 miles. I am talking the best handling in all conditions plus they look very sporty!! BUT - after that they seem to be a much harder ride and nosier as times passes. I replaced the first set at 29,000 miles and am now looking to replace the second set at 27,000. Needless to say I am very reluctant to go down this road again!! Premium dollars for a not so overall great tire.

I just bought a set of 4 tires for a 2006 Civic SI. Before I had 4 Fuzions Tires. The Car came originally with Michelin (summer)tires, those lasted 95k miles !. After those, I bought a set of 4 Hangkook, then I bought a set of 4 Fuzion ( wich I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Now I am back and very happy with Michelin again. The difference on the ride is huge !, new tires, brand new, bought in Sept/14 I would recommend these tires to anyone. New shoes ;-)

The Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires previously on my car offered incredibly traction even in packed snow. They did suffer from unusual wear though and for that reason I decided to try the A/S 3 tire. However, shame on Michelin for introducing new Ultra-High Performance tires that go backwards in terms of traction by a fair margin. The tires perform worse than the A/S Plus even in dry/wet conditions and pretty poorly in snow conditions. Yes, overall they are better than typical All-Season tires but I would go back to the A/S Plus tires in a heartbeat.

Rears on a staggered set lasted a little over 12,000 miles. Normal everday driving, no burnouts, racing, or anything crazy. Now a front has developed a bubble in the sidewall. If I replaced it with another then I would've bought five of these over the course of about 15,000 miles. Not gonna happen. I'll be buying an entire set of non-Michelins tomorrow.

Just got these a few days ago and I'm very happy with them. They are smooth and quiet, better I think than the original Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 that came with my Accord. They even cost less than the original tires. The treadware rating is 500 on the Pilot Sport AS 3 vs. 300 on the Pilot HX. I got over 80K miles on my original tires; so I'm hoping the Pilot Sport will last just as long or more. The reason I gave this a 4-star rating is because I don't know what the tread life will be like. On another note though, I've tried other name brands in the past and have been disappointed. Now I only use Michelin tires and have yet to be disappointed. Their tires just last a long time, provided you rotate regularly.
