Last fall, I purchased a 2008 BMW 328i with a sport package and runflat tires. It drove great on flat, unbroken pavement, but you could feel every irregularity in the road. Yesterday, I replaced the runflat tires with Pilot Sport A/S 3's and the car now rides like a dream. Driving the car is now a pleasure!

Replaced the run-flats on my BMW 135i with the A/S 3's two days ago. The car has been transformed. The tire is quiet, and has improved the ride quality and handling of the car. Assorted rattles and squeaks which drove me crazy from the first day with the car are now gone. Even my wife noticed the difference. I can not say enough good things about these tires.

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!

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 currently have the most humble of vehicles, a 2000 Saturn LW1 Wagon. It has gone through some personality changes, Koni Sport Struts, Carbotech custom Autocross brakes and now 17" rims wrapped in Michelin AS3 215-45/17 glory. These tires are on par with my 18" Pilot Sports that I had on my 96' Mustang and now my humble wagon grips, stops, handles like a dream. Better than my Mustang and my Z. If these tires can transform my ride into something fun.... Worth every penny.

I needed new tires on my Mercedes E63 and would ordinarily just put a set on Pilot Sports back on. This time I decided that I would try the new Pilot Sport A/S3s as I live in New Orleans where it rains quite a lot. These tires have proven to be almost as good as the Pilot Sports in dry conditions, and a whole lot better in wet conditions. For me these A/S3s are real winners and I will put another set on the E63 when these wear out.

At 60 to 61 miles per hour and then again at 67 to 69 miles per hour the tires make an annoying vibration/buzz/hum. The tires are not out of ballance and they roll smoothly but the vibration persists. Very disapointed in these tires; purchases one month ago.

Switched from original run flats on my BMW Series 3 sport coupe to these new A/S 3 Pilots. I had read many positive reviews and find these tires live up to all the accolades. Quiet and smooth with incredible grip and performance. Love 'em! It's like having a "better" BMW!

I am pleased with the performance of the tires. They are about average, if I compare to Vredestein Q-trac all-season (lasted 35K miles) and to Finnish WR-G2 all-season (lasted 38K miles) tires. Both of the above had better traction, wet and dry. However, major disappointment is the tire wear. I replaced the front struts and other front suspension parts before purchasing Michelins. Plus, did 4-wheel alignment. I did rotate them every 4-8K miles. The tires were gone at about 19,000 miles. No performance, bad in wet weather, no traction, other issues. The tire dealership did not recommend the last rotation, b/c they did not want to put the bad set on the rear (to keep still decent set on the rare further). But the tires were flat and loud and done at 19K miles. I do 80/20 highway/town driving. The tires were used from OCT-MAY period (before the Summer season started). Thus, I am disappointed in tire wear mostly, considering 45K miles warranty. Do not buy and avoid for wear problem.

Awesome tire in terms of cornering and braking, and they are UNBELIEVABLE in the rain - hopeful they perform as well in Minnesota winters. My primary issue with the tires are that they grab every imperfection in the roadway and track so the amount of steering correction isn't always fun to manage. I also had to have them re-balanced and still have some minor vibration through the steering wheel and chassis. The retailer advises the balancing was only off by 1/4 oz on one wheel and slightly more on another and run-out was well within spec, but I still am annoyed by the vibration since the previous OEM tires rode so well. I sure hope they smooth out or it will be a love/hate relationship to 45,000 miles.
