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 have purchased many sets of Michelin tires for a number of cars. It's the only brand I buy. Purchased these tires in January 2014 after at least 3 calls to Michelin and one to where I bought the tires to try to narrow down the choices in the Michelin line. I was told that it was a good choice. I replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Rav4. The Michelins handled well in various types of weather but I immediately noticed a 2 -4 drop in MPH. Thinking it might be the extreme cold weather and/or the winter fuel mix that gas stations use (I was told) ,I decided to wait a while for the weather to change. I would like to point out that I check the pressue in my tires once a week with an accurate guage and always keep the pressure at 32 which is what is recommended on the tire placard on the vehicle. My vehicle is is top running condition and I want to point out that the drop in MPG was immediate and still varies between 20-22 mpg from date of purchase until present. I used to get 22.5 to 25 mpg. I drive the very same roads that I used to. So even though these are good tires I have to caution that your mpg will take a hit. Not what I expected.

Let me start by saying the ride I now get with my Dodge Challenger SRT8 is nothing short of fantastic. Smoothness is the name of the game and that is what I now have. I'm impressed by the technology that has gone into the development of these Pilot Sport A/S 3. Now if I only get the mileage that you all have rated the tire for, then I'll be extremely happy and ready for another set.

I purchased these tires because they looked like the perfect combination of attributes that would increase my Accord's handling and grip without loosing efficiency or all weather traction. And they are have been fantastic tires that have dramatically increased my car's handling while being comfortable and with a 500 tread wear rating they should last. But I have noticed an immediate drop in my fuel economy after having them installed. Although these tires are in the Green X category for being fuel efficient like the Primacy tires they replaced (and the Energy tires they replaced) there is a definite cost for all of the incredible grip that these tires produce. I've had my car and it's alignment checked out twice (by the dealer and another shop) to make sure that nothing else could be causing my 3-4 mpg drop since installing the tires. Disappointing, but even with this downside, I still smile around every corner with these Pilot Sport AS3s.

Immediately noticed the quietness and smooth ride. Time will tell how they wear but I average 60,000 miles a year, so it may not take long, based on the warranty. But I have seldom been disappointed with Michelin products. I've always worn my original equipment out but always replaced them with Michelin products.

wearing out at 20000 miles. Did not perform well on ice and snow. I thought I may have had a bad batch from the factory. These came on the car. Very disapointed. Never had tires that wore out this quickly in 50 years of driving. handles ok in warmer weather. I regret saying this my previous expereince with Michelin was they made very good tires. sorrey about the spelling as I can't find the spell check.

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!!!!

It provides total grip in the snow during the winter and great traction and performance in the warm seasons. I once accidentally drove over cracked glass pieces and was worried my tires were ruined but they were just fine. The tires lasted me years and I drive quite a lot of miles per year.

Put them on the daily driver (Ford Fusion) because I wanted a good value with a high level of overall traction. These tires are amazing! The wet traction is outstanding, I've never had any other tire match their level of traction in the wet. They also respond instantly and firmly to steering inputs with huge amounts of grip. A confidence inspiring tire, it feels like the car is on rails when turning. They're also extremely quiet, almost inaudible in my case. They've also got a tremendous amount of stopping power. Glad I went with them. A worthwhile investment if you love your car.

I currently have the most humble of vehicles, a 2000 Saturn LW1 Wagon. It has gone through some personality changes, Koni Sport Struts, Carbotech custom Autocross brakes and now 17" rims wrapped in Michelin AS3 215-45/17 glory. These tires are on par with my 18" Pilot Sports that I had on my 96' Mustang and now my humble wagon grips, stops, handles like a dream. Better than my Mustang and my Z. If these tires can transform my ride into something fun.... Worth every penny.
