I have a set of Michelin Pilot Sports on my Porsche and I know how great they are on and off the track. I put the A/S3 tires on my Astra for everyday driving and was impressed how they grip and fell, dry or wet, even down to -8 deg C. Huge improvement over the factory tires. As this car is completely stock, I thought they would be wasted on it, but I'm glad to have them. No negative comments.

Just got these a few days ago and I'm very happy with them. They are smooth and quiet, better I think than the original Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 that came with my Accord. They even cost less than the original tires. The treadware rating is 500 on the Pilot Sport AS 3 vs. 300 on the Pilot HX. I got over 80K miles on my original tires; so I'm hoping the Pilot Sport will last just as long or more. The reason I gave this a 4-star rating is because I don't know what the tread life will be like. On another note though, I've tried other name brands in the past and have been disappointed. Now I only use Michelin tires and have yet to be disappointed. Their tires just last a long time, provided you rotate regularly.

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.

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 and could not be happier. The car handles like a dream. Comfortable and sporty at the same time - it's like I have a brand new car. The improvement to the driving experience is just plain great. I highly recommend these tires.

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.

The Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires previously on my car offered incredibly traction even in packed snow. They did suffer from unusual wear though and for that reason I decided to try the A/S 3 tire. However, shame on Michelin for introducing new Ultra-High Performance tires that go backwards in terms of traction by a fair margin. The tires perform worse than the A/S Plus even in dry/wet conditions and pretty poorly in snow conditions. Yes, overall they are better than typical All-Season tires but I would go back to the A/S Plus tires in a heartbeat.

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.

The tires were bought to upgrade the overall performance of my 2010 Bentley Speed. The 'bespoke' tires have been surpassed technologically by the AS3's, and I wanted the added value of a tire that lasts, a nice change from competitors effots. Combine bad weather grip, great ride and superior ride and handling . . . how can you loose? I drive twisty, wet two lane roads every day and the security these tires deliver can be felt though the wheel; awsome! 40 years of experience with Michelin has always been good for me, make the change, you'll never regret it.

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!
