Great tires for spring/summer performance. Doesn't matter if the surface is dry or slick with summer rain, these tires keep you on track, even under hard driving.

The most responding tire ( a previous Z rated by another manufacturer was wormy and way less direct in comparison). These track superbly. By far less road noise too. The ever so slight firmer city ride is by far outweighed by the safety factor in direct response, highway smoothness. Side walls are firm, I had to replace a previous manufacturer's several times due to bubbling. Even the tire installer said that he felt a huge difference in the side wall thickness to old ones that were Z-rated. I am dying to try them in the snow and wet as I read they are top rated there too. Add long lasting to the mix and you can't beat them. Great Tire.

Replaced OEM AS which I thought were great tires @ 28,000 miles. The AS3's are head and shoulders above the factory installed tire. They're quiet, grip like crazy in the dry and wet and offer a firm but comfortable ride. I live in the Deep South so snow performance was not a requirement when I purchased these tires. For an MB E Class sedan these are probably the best tires available in the Ultra High Performance category for my driving style and conditions. Without a doubt they're worth every penny spent on them.

I've had these tires on for 3 weeks now and have noticed a great improvement in traction and ride quality. The stock HX MXM4 tires that came with my 2011 altima coupe were awful in the rain, mind you they still had significant thread left. My car is lowered on eibach springs making bad roads a pain to drive in. As soon as I first drove in the A/S 3's, I could feel an improvement in comfort. I drive an average of 18 miles everyday mostly at 30-50 mph. Overall these tires have improved my driving experience.

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.

I was looking for tires that could handle the Mini's cornering ability in all types of weather. After extensive research, I chose Michelin's Pilot Sport A/S 3. These were exactly the set of tires I was looking for. The ride is supurb and the handeling in the corners is amazing. As an added benefit, I found the stopping distance with the new Michelin's greatly improved. The MINI is an agressive driving machine and the Pilot Sport A/S 3 are up to the challenge. I would highly recommend them.

Replaced OEM runflats on my Mini S. The improvement in ride and handling was dramatic. It would have been hard to convince me that the Mini could handle any better than it already did but these tires hold like they are glued to the road. Wet handling is also outstanding. There has also been a significant improvement in ride quality. The OEM tires (high-end name brand) were harsh at best. These tires although firm to not transmit nearly as much shock through the car. They were difficult to find but well worth the effort.

Size: 245/45ZR17, ZR rated Y speed rated. Took the first drive on them, there was a horrendous drone noise over all speeds. Excessive harmonics at 50 – 55mph, and again at 70-75 mph; so loud it's difficult to hear the radio. Tire needs redesign. Harsh ride due to thicker sidewalls and reinforce bead buildup (creating low tire compliance). Source of noise: Tread shoulder too wide, sipes and grooves on shoulder too wide and rounded, shoulder blocking grooves are normal to the direction of travel leading to tread blocks slapping the pavement. Resolve this noise by angling shoulder grooving between tread blocks. Overall Poor tire due to noise.

Good performance but very poor wear. Rotated and maintained. No unusual driving. Warranted for 45k miles and lasted only 13k miles. I bought these specifically for the longer wear so I am quite disappointed. Reading other similar customer experience, this seems like a defective product. Did not expect this from Michelin. I will be seeking warranty replacement and hopefully Michelin will stand behind their product.

Only buy this tire if you want to learn how the Michelin tire warranty process works. Tread wear was down to 4/32 after only 18,000 km and only two years of summer only driving.
