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.

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.

Just got these installed today and wow, I can really tell a difference. Purchased them for a 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring and the ride is very smooth. It was raining when I left the tire store and these wide tires have plenty of rubber to grab the road. I really felt safe in the rain. I still can't get over how smooth the ride was. The A/S 3's are a must for a sports car. Very impressed!

These tires have fantastic dry grip; easily the most grippy all seasons I've had on a road car. In the wet they are more than sufficient for a daily driver. On snow these are perhaps the best non dedicated winter tire I've driven. And on ice these tires maintain enough grip to commute with confidence. Fuel economy took a slight hit on the highway compared to my previous tires. Ride noise is slightly higher now too, but well worth the trade in grip. Bottom line, I would stongly recommend these for any driving enthusiast looking for all seasons.

I drove a Nissan Maxima 2011 and had always ran BF's until my tire shop recommended the Pilot based on my driving habits. Well it was like a new car the way it handled especially in the rain. I went out the same week and put Michelin's on my wife's Ford Escape and she even noticed the difference. Great tire. I just bought a 2016 Nissan Maxima an what a fun car it drive except for 4 things, the tires! They have Continentals and what horrible tires, slips in rain and spins easily and just no confidence. Hard to get rid of new tires but the minute I can afford it she will get new Michelin Pilots so I can drive this car to capabilities. Good job

I love Michelin tires. I have them on all the cars in the family, including a new used car for my daughter. A few times, I have tried other tires and regretted it and went back to Michelins. Today's high tech cars often require a great tire to function properly, like my Volvo and my Nissan Maxima do not drive as they were designed to drive on those lower grade tires, they just don't drive or wear well on other tires. I have always found that the Michelin design and warranty is always the best balance of value/safety/performance.

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.

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!!!

I have a 2014 MINI Roadster S. I have been driving since 1962 and autocrossing with success since 1995. I have driven on extreme performance tires, r-compound tires, and racing slicks, both dry and wet. Yesterday I brought home a set of 205/50-16 A/S 3's in the rain. Today it rained harder and I found the standing water puddle on my most driven back road. I heard the right front tire violently cutting through the water at 60 mph but it didn't even tug on the tire nor slow the car as that friendly puddle has always done before. The steering is light. Partly due to 10.5mm of tread and partly due to surprisingly low rolling resistance. Turn in is immediate. Well, surely there must be an actual delay but it is too small for me to perceive. Grip is somewhere well beyond the level I am willing to risk on a public road. They simply track no matter how fast I dare corner with them at gendarme and bad karma attracting speeds. For reference, the car on OEM tires understeered if I tried to have much of any fun cornering. That is, the tires lost grip and the car ran wide which is especially unnerving in a right hand turn with oncoming traffic. These are serious performance tires oh so well suited to a MINI driven in all weathers except snow blizzards and subzero temperatures.

I replaced the stock Pirelli tires on my Mustang GT, with the AS-3's, based on reviews that I had read. I also went with wider, staggered wheels, 245's in the front and 285's in the back, on 18 inch rims. The ride quality and ultimate grip in wet or dry conditions is incredible. I am currently replacing the rears with the same tire, although the fronts have, obviously, lasted longer. The rears lasted approximately 60000 km under hard driving conditions, purely in the Canadian summer months. This is an excellent tire based on my experience.
