After more than a decade of Pilot Exalto A/S then Pilot Sport A/S Plus, the Premier A/S has been a total let down: the tire was good for 25,000 miles (lasting 10,000 miles less than the Sport tires with 7,500 mile rotations), I had two of the four tires which blew sidewalls (separate incidents), and overall the riding is clunky compared with the prior models. I upgraded to the Pilot Sport A/S 3 and that tire is more in line with what I expect.

Premier AS, first time having purchased premium tires, as I now have a VW. (Prior Nissan, Toyota) So, Price higher, but I was appreciative of Michelin Promise Plan! Reviews were split of noise, but most smooth & quiet ride, noticed by myself and others - both drivers and passengers. will buy Micheli

....longtime Michelin customer...Town Car driver....235-55-17...all around...great handling in all conditions...especially the Wet....inspires confidence....recent Snowfall....these tires are great....not Snowtires....but Great...Reccomended Highly...have another set on order....

Have an app on my iphone and had purposefully measured the decibels on my old tires and compared to the new Premiers - 10+ decibels quieter. Not sure how any other reviews could be claiming how they wear, as this tire was just released in April of this year; but happy to be back in the "Michelin fold"...;o)

My car is an 09 Buick Lucerne CXL which came a set of MXV4 energy tires (best tires ever!). I was one of the first to buy a set of premier tires and was expecting something like my original set of energy tires (81,000 miles on them). I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. These tires are nothing like my originals. They ride hard, are loud, handling is not too good and have a vibration around 70 mph, which is probably due to the large amount of wheel weights added. I'm headed back to exchange them for the MXV4 plus tires at an added expense since I can't get the H rated tire instead of the V rated.

I own a 2009 Acura TSX and I just purchased my second set of Premier A/S. I rotated and balanced the first set of tires every 7000 miles (religiously) aligned my car every 15,000 miles and they lasted me 93,401 miles (4 years and 6 months Best tires ever

I've had the tires for more than three months. These may be the best tires that I've ever had. I am keeping my car of 10 years or 200K and thought I would not make it because the previous set of tires, Bridgestones, were under performing. The OEM Michelins on my 2006 Honda Accord were ok. The Bridgestones were pretty good for the first 30,000 miles. However, the Michelin Premiers are outstanding. My car rides quieter and better now than when I got it. What a surprise? I'll definitely be keeping my car for another year.

In July I purchased four 205/55R16 M1 Premier AS tires for my 2006 VW Jetta TDI. I took off Michelin MXV4s which had given me 45K miles of really great service but which are no longer available. they were not at the end of their useful life but I wanted really new rubber for the trip. The road noise on all surfaces above 45 mph was so bad that I we took my wife's 2011 VW GTI on the trip instead. When I sought to return the AS M1s I was several days beyond the return deadline. Nevertheless, Michelin treated me extremely well and I was given a full refund. Great Company and Service not the right tire for my vehicle and me.

I replaced my Goodyear Eagles with the Michelin Premier AS and what a diiference. Quieter, smoother, cornering. I can't wait to test them in the rain. My Goodyears were terrible and would hydroplane. The drawback was the price but so far well worth it.

I don't understand why people gave this tire a bad review. My handling has improved, as has my stopping!! & My fuel efficiency has also improved. Not by much but then again I've only had them for 1 month. I've always taken Michelin tires over all the other tire makers. And I always will!!
