2015 Mazda3 sTouring I have about 1000 miles on these, and was absolutely floored when I looked over the difference in fuel efficiency compared to the OEM tires. There is a drop of almost 20%! I checked the tire pressure with multiple gauges (2x analog, 1x digital), so they're not under inflated. The warehouse also inflated them with nitrogen if that makes a difference. I'm doing mostly highway commuting, so the nuances of 'better' handling may be lost on me, but they do feel like when I put my snows on- kind of mushy - on the road. After I get home (about 20 miles), the tires are very warm to the touch, even when it's raining. Don't know what they'll feel like in the summer. The warmth does make sense, if these tires have such a high rolling resistance, the energy is spent as heat. As a commute car, there really does not seem to be any difference in handling wet or dry pavement. There doesn't feel like any benefit to braking, and possibly a decrease in ability to accelerate. I am really disappointed in these tires so far. After reading all the positive reviews, I really wonder if anyone considers fuel efficiency. Maybe wearing these down to the support layers will improve fuel performance, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Upsized to 18" wheels & ride is even a bit softer than the AS3's on the 17" wheels. Steering at low speed is a bit heavy with the larger contact patch than the OE 215's. Good grip cold, much better when warm. Side wall flex is a big improvement in cornering.

Great tires on the GR Corolla, I would love to try the CrossClimate2 next. This has been great on the Florida roads, trails and even in the harsh conditions as well. People that are experiencing wear on these tires need to get their alignment checked up before mounting these tires on, my tires still look brand new after getting an alignment during the new installment. Will purchase again unless Michelin man sponsors me with a new set hehe

Too many reports not indicating what vehicle the tires are mounted on! What good is such info? I have a new set of 245/4018 going on our 2019 RS 3, which has run 16,698 fast back roads out of a total 23,192 on current Michelin A/S3+ with no issues at all. Will report on the Pilot Sport 4S after some mileage is run at speed.

These handle really well and helped me out a lot with the big rain we get in Florida. Unfortunately, 2 tires are down to 3 and 2/32nds. 2 Tires are down to 4.5/32nds. I have about 20k miles on the tires and drive on the highway mostly. Florida roads can be pretty rough since they get baked, so I imagine this is a leading cause. I'm hoping to get some warranty on the 2 tires that are near the end.

I drive a RWD P85+ Tesla Model S, which is both heavy and up until last winter had staggered 21” wheels. I was used to buying a new set of Pilot Sport 4S for the rear every 10-12k miles, which is to be expected, but not welcomed on that setup. I switch to 20” square rims front and aft, and also switched to Pilot Sport AS 4’s ,245/45/ZR20 99Y, and couldn’t be happier. Now that I can rotate tires life if grand. I’m used to extremely irregular wear and regular pinch flats, but I’ve got things nailed down now. Tire wear with theses tire is even, traction is more than adequate and tire noise is drastically reduced.

I’ve gone thru two sets of these tires with the last set going 18200 purchased 2/22 miles and are now down to the wear bars. I live in Phoenix and thought the heat was a factor. My daughter in Washington also got poor tread life out of the same model tire with a Kia sedan my car being an Audi SQ5. I’m replacing these with the Defender 2 giving Michelin another try I hope it ends up better. Also will seek some adjustments based on short tread life bit will see how that goes. All other performance for this tire were wrest they just don’t last.

I have 2 sets of these tires, for my 1993 Corvette ZR-1 and my 2015 Challenger 392. Excellent grip in all weather conditions that I drive in (I rarely see snow, but frequent heavy rain and temps below summer tire ratings) as well as quiet and comfortable.

These tires are a huge upgrade for me. Comfort, handling and traction are all greatly improved. It’s the one repair I’ve made to my car that I can feel an immediate difference with. They seem durable so far, only been a week and two days, but I have noticed they aren’t all that quiet. That could be do to the materials used to build my vehicle too though.

I bought a set of pilot sport AS4 to put on my car and I absolutely love them the amount of control and response difference compared to the stock tires was unbelievable and as far as grip goes I have a hard time breaking loose when I try to do it on purpose
