Purchased the Pilot Sport A/S 3 for my Saab Aero Anniversary Editon convertible. Previous tires were not Michelin's and had cupping and the cord was being exposed. Researched many tire options and decided to go with the Michelin's. The first and most obvious difference was reduction of road noise followed by a very smooth ride. Traction on dry roads is as excellent as I expected from an ultra performance tire. Still waiting for some wet weather to test these tires otherwise my rating would be a solid 5. So far, very pleased with the purchase, driving is fun again.

Cannot understand the complaints about treadwear life - haven't believed longevity hyperbole from tire marketing types for over 40 years. My previous 3 sets of summer tires on my 08 Legacy GT lasted only 12, 18 and 18 K km, completely even wear. But my winter tires have lasted the entire 10 years! Wanted less greasy feel at under 10C mornings in shoulder season, so got the A/S3+ last year. Kind of bouncy and whirry at low speed, but VERY precise. Great in rain, in cooler temps, around corners and on the highway smooth, exceptionally so. Very nice indeed for a performance tire. Have a feel of great strength and consistency.

I'm on the road constantly Highway and city driving as well winter driving and been very happy with these tires. Sudden stops and turning at the same time the tire proved it could handle the task. Not too much negative to say except like any tire you'd wish they last forever. Thanks Michelin

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.

After many years of owning several sets of the A/S Plus version of this tire, I had high hopes for the A/S 3 when it was announced. I got 53k miles out of my A/S Plus in 245/40-19 front and 275/35-19 rear which is incredible mileage. I drive conservatively (I'm back on my stock sizes of 225/50-18 and 245/45-18) and have only managed to get 13k miles out of the A/S 3's in the rear. I have alignments done regularly and the wear is even. The fronts look nearly new and I don't track my car either. The tire is great in traction and has a nice ride assuming it will last. I had longer life out of the Pilot Sport summer tire on my previous vehicle. This is an otherwise phenomenal tire but the lack of longevity kills it for me on the all season rating. I would expect this from a summer tire but against the backdrop of my experience with the A/S Plus, the very short lifespan is disappointing to say the least.

Purchased set for daughter's Jetta Sportwagen 2.5 last month & was impressed. Just put a set on my Jetta TDI Sportwagen and am very impressed. Ride is much smoother than with OE tires, and it is quieter. Car now also corners much better--much better. Braking is superb! Will follow up after several thousand miles.

Was looking for an All Season tire and based on the descriptions this was the tire for the car. Bought 4 new tires, Pilot Sport A/S3, size 205/55R16 91V , 2 of which are DOT B9W11DX4515 and these are the ones I am rating Below Average. Still dealing with Tire Retailer in getting the Radial pull tire replaced.

Just purchased my first set of tires for my 2013 Infiniti G37S (6MT) SEDAN. These tires handles great in wet pavement. Did really good during houston's two day winter ice storm that shut down the city( LOL ). Alot quieter compare to my O.E. tires ( RE050 ). It grips like a summer performance tire when going around sharp curveys at high speed. I drive 102 miles a day for work and i haul my mountain bike to near by trails 4 hr away on weekends. I drive aggressively and iam hard on the braking. Worth every penny.

I started using Michelin tires in the 1970's when the major retailer I worked for began selling Michielin tires in their auto centre. Since that time, I have been riding on Michelin tires, and have been completely satified with their wear, traction and handling features. Recently, I purchased a set of Michelin Latitude X-ice winter tires. They performed better than I ever expected, which gave me great confidence while driving in all winter conditions. Last month I purchased a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 (XL). I chose these because I could not obtain a Michelin winter tire for my vehicle with 20" rims, and these are rated "all season". My only complaint is that I had to purchase the Pilots in Michigan, as there were no tires available in Ontario. My wife drives a Mini Van and she is riding on Michelin Defender tires. She has noticed a positive difference in the rain/snow handing of her vehicle with the new Michelin tires. In summation, if you have a choice, choose Michelin!

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.
