I just bought my second set of Michelin A/S 3 tires. I am a spirited driver, and these all season tires handle like high performance summer tires. The braking and handling are simply phenomenal. Handling is more important to me than treadwear or comfort, and I must admit that these tires are somewhat noisy. My first set did not last anywhere close to 45,000 miles, but I never really expected them to. If you need 3 season tires and don't want to sacrifice handling/braking, this is a great choice. If you will be doing a lot of driving in snow, you may want to consider other tires or buy a separate set for winter use.

Remember when Mike Meyers would parody his mother-in-law on SNL? She was a radio personality named Linda Richman and her show was "Coffee Talk". Anyways, when something was smooth beyond belief, Linda (Meyers) would describe it as, "like butta....." (ie. like butter). Well, sorry for the lengthy build-up to my comment, but that describles these tires perfectly. They are indeed, "like butta!" I won't bore you with a lot of techno-speak, I'll just say treat yourself to a set of the finest tires that you are ever likely to own! They are worth every penny of the cost and you will think that you are driving the brand-new car of your dreams!

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.

When I switched from my OEM Michelin RTF to A/S tires, i was expecting smoother, quiter ride. However, overall quality of ride was not as good as the original tires. It was very noisy as well. Had trouble getting replacements within 30 days because of staggered wheel sizes on my BMW sports package and summer tires were out of production. I do not recommend these tires if you have a BMW 3 series with sports package. Heard good review about pilot sport summer tires.

Since 1983, I've exclusively purchased Michelin tires which, until now, never disappointed me. Although the Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires handle well, they've significantly reduced my Honda Civic's gas mileage by 10-12%. The drop in mileage began immediately after these tires were installed. I keep my vehicle in top mechanical shape and ensure that all maintenance schedules are followed, so there is no doubt that the drop in mileage is due to these new tires. My original tire choice was the Primacy MXM4 205/55R16 tires. Unfortunately, Michelin had no inventory available for many months. Just my luck, because the Primacy MXM4's are now available!

Use these as summer tires only. They wear very well. They are nosier than my winter tires, also the dealer I bought them from used nitrogen, when I check my air pressure and have to add air I do not have nitrogen. I was told that is O.K. but seems no one knows for sure. Also had a flat so I have three tires with nitrogen and one with out, is this O.K.?

I own a 2009 Bullitt Mustang and enjoy a spirited drive... read I do NOT thrash the car around. I purchased 4 new tires. For tires that claim to be "Ultra High Performance" in my opinion they are not even close. They feel like 6 year old tires. I wish I had more driving time within the first 30 days to return them. I did not... now I am stuck with them. If I had the money I would replace them now. For this car these tires do not live up to their name. Very disappointed.

Bought these tires two years ago, put less than 40,000km on them and they are already worn out. I live in Ontario and with our first snowfall yesterday I almost got into two accidents since I was slipping and sliding everywhere. Stay away from these tires.

I was glad to see that my Cadillac CTS had Michelin tires when I purchased it, otherwise I would have changed the tires. Being a performance car, I knew what the tires had to perform like. These tires did not disappoint me. My mileage on long trips would average over 28 MPG, in town 24 MPG. Stopping adhesion and wet weather driving were superior. The best part is that I just now put new Michelin tires on after getting 78,250 miles from the originals. If this second set gets the same amount of miles as the first, it will be time for a new car.

I have owned several corvettes and the first thing I change is the tires to run flat pilot sports. The car handles much better but the reason I buy them is for the quiet ride! I can actually talk to the passenger with the radio on! This is the BEST tire made!!!!
