The first 100km I agree that the tires felt slippery... I think it has to do with the compound they put on them from the factory. I was questioning whether or not I made the right choice. After a break in period, I cannot break loose my 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD on a tight corner. I lose tailgaters on the tight corners and it is a lot of fun doing i!

These tires are great for spring,summer,fall.Theres no tire Id rather have other than this.I do not use my car during winter blizzards,& snow falls but rain doesn't impede the tread at all.They ride & handle great.Just another great tire from Michelin

Have put 2000 miles on them, they are great tires. Quiet and smooth riding. They hold well in the rain- as you know Mini's are quick turning cars and these tires hold the road. My dad recommended them after finding that Michelin made a lower cost tire that fits my car. I hope to get more than 29k miles which is what I got on the original supplied tires.

if you only have a few thousand miles on these tires you should wait to review; handling is as promised, sharp and great grip. Ride was rough from day one on my Infiniti g37X. Drove them through the winter and now have 23K miles. Wear on shoulder of all 4 is bad, and getting a wap wap sound from one tire. Rotated in Sept. and treadwear is significant. ALL tires should last more then 22K miles unless they're for racing. Extremely disappointed that they are so noisy, rough, and un-durable. Tire care was always performed when due and psi checked regularly. Some spirited driving (how much spirited driving can you do in the winter!)

I purchased these tires to replace the ones I had on my Ford 2014 Escape. My scape came with 19 inch tires so I bought the pilot as3 hoping to get better mileage in a better ride .I got the better ride but the mileage was terrable. All four tires had to be replaced after 19000 miles as opposed 45000 mile warranty. Had them for less than a year and now it appears they are no longer available.

Replaced oem grand touring tires from another manufacturer. These new uhp a/s tires are for my 2013 Audi S4. All the reviews and the NOLA tests are correct, these tires are amazing. Smoother rolling, tighter, firmer around corners, control handling braking. No Negatives.

I own a 2006 Lexus GS430 with 18s, 245/40/18. 95% of my miles are highway miles. I had been running Pilot Sport A/S Plus for the past few years. I had about 45,000 miles on the tires, so it was time to replace them. The natural choice was the new Pilot Sport A/S 3. I've had the new tires on the car for about 10 days and 500 miles, and here are my observations. The handling is excellent. Cornering, steering response/feel and road feel are all great. The great handling, however, comes at a price. Whereas the ride of the A/S Plus was firm yet compliant and forgiving, I find the ride of the A/S 3 overly firm, borderline harsh. Also, the A/S 3 seems to be much louder on the highway than the A/S Plus tires I replaced (which, like I said, had 45k miles on them when I took them off). I have the tires filled to 32 psi (just like my previous tires), so it's not the pressure. I think it might have something to do with the load rating. The load rating on the A/S 3 is 97y. The load rating on the A/S Plus was 93. I'm not a tire expert/aficionado by any means, but I'm wondering whether the increased load rating could make that much of a difference or whether the increased noise/harshness is due to something else. I am still within the 30-day return window, but I'm not sure what other options I have (other than going back to the A/S Plus, which, based on everything I've read, would seem to be a step in the wrong direction). In sum, while the A/S 3 really do make the car handle like it's on rails, in my opinion, they are not as comfortable or quiet as the A/S Plus I replaced. I'm sure many others made the switch from the A/S Plus to the A/S 3, and I'm wondering whether any one else has experienced the same thing.

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.

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.

I purchased my first set of Michelins for my 1968 MGB. Since then, there have been multiple sets for many different cars I have owned. I have always been very satisfied. Multiple times my car purchases have arrived with other manufacturers' tires. It is always a happy day for me when I install my first set of Michelins on that particular car. Keep up the good work!
