This is a great tire and rides very smooth. You can feel the traction just tooling along. I expect this from Michellin, the only brand of tires I buy. What I did not expect was for the new tires to eat up gas mileage. A Lot. I normally get 210 to 220 miles on a half tank of gas. With the A/S 3 I am lucky to get 160 on that half tank. Love the feel of the tire but it has to go back. Will go back to the Exalto A/S. What a shame.

I totally agree, 3 season tire. VERY scary in even the lightest snow. Wet and dry weather is great...go figure. These tires inspire so much confidence in wet and dry that they caught me off guard when it started to snow. This is totally a stiff UHP summer tire that actually works great in very cold weather as long as you don't get any snow. Too early to tell how they wear etc. All I buy is Michelin tires so this is a huge let down for me. I need MORE brand new tires now and another set of rims. :(

I've been a daily drive of C 6 Corvettes since 2004 driving on non Michelin run flats and just changed to the new Pilot Sport A/S 3 and absolute love them, as my wife says. Great handling and like riding on a cloud, no more jaring bumps. I should have changed 3 sets ago.

I have a 2008 335xi e90 with staggard style 162 18" wheels and the best thing I could have done is to ditch the RFTs (Now when I go over uneven roads or potholes.. its no longer a teeth jarring ride)!!!! I actually wanted to get the MPSS (Super sports) but I need this tire to handle the NJ winter months as well for daily driving (Which means I can't use the dedicated summer MPSS). It handled really well in Wet/Dry situations for Oct/Nov, recently we had a large amount of snow and I was able to easily drive up and down the NJ GSP before they plowed the roads. I was able to move across lanes with easy @ 50 MPH in unplowed snow!!!! Today we had a huge amount of rain and I was able to feel very comfortable at speed (everyone around me was driving way too slow but I was easily able to get around them and make good distance). These are by far the best tires I have ever used!!!

When deciding on which tires to recently purchase in May 2015, I almost listened to chatter about these tires being noisy. So glad I did not listen and went with my decades of experience owning Michelins. I really do not understand the noise complaints? After six weeks of driving on these tires, I find them quite smooth and quiet. I feel most confident, safe and love the handling. I can only surmise something else was going on with the vehicles of those complaining about noise. I put these on a Roaster Convertible where my head/ear is close to the rear tire; absolutely no noise from tires with top up or down. Highly Recommend!

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 drive a 2006 Mercedes E350 sedan. I had the old Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires on her and, I purchased the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, three weeks ago, and have put close to 2,000 miles on them. I got them at the right time because it started to rain here in Northern California, for several days and was able to drive through various wet weather road conditions, from pouring rain, to standing water on the freeway. These tires handled beautifully at speeds of 75 mph on the freeway (I like to drive fast). The contact on the wet road was superb, I had complete control. When the weather dried the stickiness of the tires are outstanding as you go around curves and the braking astounding. I must also add that these are extremely quieter compared to the Pilot Sport A/S, I am happy for that a noise reduction of at least 90% compared to the old tires, very noticeable. I would recommend these for any Mercedes owner.

I recently bought a set of pilot sport AS 3 and had them installed on my heavily modified eclipse turbo. They performed beyond my expectation, especially for an all season tire. The grip in extreme conditions is amazing, are very quite and resist hydroplaning very well. Who would have imagined your brakes work better with a tire selection, wow! You can drive with confidence and feel sure footed with these tires. An Ultrahigh performance tire with manners and a great warranty as a bonus.

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.

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.
