Dry rotting!

Great ride, and performance,...But we have 24,500 miles on these tires and they are cracking along the sides and the front are loosing tread (almost in chunks) along the out side edges. Had allignment checked and it was with in specs.Tires have a 2/5/12 date stamped on them. Mechanic said he had seen more and more Michelin lately with dry rotting. Am just hopeing the warrenty claim is good. Have used Michelin on a few automobiles and never had any problem before.

Worth every penny

I had these on my 2008 Audi A4 for 38,000 miles. I'm happy with the mileage given how abusive I was with the tires. Road noise fine until the final 5000 miles. Grip was amazing and supplied far more then my A4 could extract. Braking was the same, just outstanding. I'm in the process of buying a new set this week.

Best All-Season Tire I've Ever Owned

I'm driving a 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, which is a decently sporty sedan in the compact range. I've had dedicated summer tires before, and two different all-season tires, including the original Pilot Sport A/S. I can honestly say that this tire is the best All-Season I've ever had, and so far, it's handling just as well as ANY of the summer tires I've used. They're quiet, comfortable, and extremely grippy. I've driven them in the rain several times already, and I have had to work fairly hard to break traction with them. It's almost scary how much control I have in the rain! And on dry ground, it feels like I'm driving on a super-sticky summer tire. I haven't even heard a chirp out of them, even on turns that would make my previous Pilot Sports sound quite loud. The braking also seems to be quite a bit stronger than my previous set. These tires are also NOT directional, like the previous Pilot Sport A/S series. As such, it also does not feel like I'm driving on a rail, ESPECIALLY in the rain. I cannot yet comment on tread-life, but they do seem to have a slight increase in MPG. However, I'll need quite a few more data points before I can say that there's a statistically significant increase in MPG, so I will try to update this review in the future. I honestly can't think of any negative comments to make on this tire, as of yet. If anything comes up, then I'll update this review, but so far I am extremely satisfied!

Tires too Noisy

Size: 245/45ZR17, ZR rated Y speed rated. Took the first drive on them, there was a horrendous drone noise over all speeds. Excessive harmonics at 50 – 55mph, and again at 70-75 mph; so loud it’s difficult to hear the radio. Tire needs redesign. Harsh ride due to thicker sidewalls and reinforce bead buildup (creating low tire compliance). Source of noise: Tread shoulder too wide, sipes and grooves on shoulder too wide and rounded, shoulder blocking grooves are normal to the direction of travel leading to tread blocks slapping the pavement. Resolve this noise by angling shoulder grooving between tread blocks. Overall Poor tire due to noise.

Smooth operator

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 would buy this product again and again

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!!!!

Back to Michelins

My new car came with other than Michelin tires. I tried to get them to change them but they would not. After driving for a month on my 'other than Michelin tires", I returned the car for a change to Michelin tires which at 80 years old, I have always had. What a difference!! Now my new car rides and handles as it should. What a joy. The performance by comparison is a world of difference and all due to my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 tires front and back. Thank you and buy this kind, you owe it to yourself to drive in the luxury of Michelin.

Good performance overshadowed by very poor durability

Good performance but very poor wear. Rotated and maintained. No unusual driving. Warranted for 45k miles and lasted only 13k miles. I bought these specifically for the longer wear so I am quite disappointed. Reading other similar customer experience, this seems like a defective product. Did not expect this from Michelin. I will be seeking warranty replacement and hopefully Michelin will stand behind their product.

Won't Last to Mileage Estimate

Bought Michilin Pilot Sport AS+ May 2012 with 45,000 mile warranty (235/50ZR18). Have driven 35,500 miles and purchse retailer now says I need new tires. Driving is around suburbs with no long road-trips and the car has been into purchase retailer 7 times for rotate/balance/align as required. Warranty appears to be much less than was represented by sales retailer at time of purchase. Product has lasted 21% less than the expected miles and yet the customer satisfaction credit is only11% of the purchase price of the new tires or 9% of the original tire price (sales retailer is recommending Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 235/50R18 for my current replacement). I liked the way the car drove with these tires. Especially happy with snow performance as they handled well. But I am upset that the verbal warranty explanation was so much better on the sales end than the reality on the other side. It seems to me that the customer satisfaction discount on the new tires should be double what it is.

Incredible handling

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.
