Very little road noise and great handling
I’m have great confidence when I’m rolling down the highway at 140mph with my Michelin tires.
Thanks for your review Shineon .

Great on street, DO NOT Track
Put a set of these on my CTS V, and loved them on the street. Quiet, much better grip in cold and wet conditions. The flip side of this is I took the car to the track, fun day one, left front tire separated day two. Tires had around 2,500 miles on them, and were done. Michlin was good to credit me for most of the cost for a new set, and told me not to track these tires. So unfortunately, they performed very well on day one on track, took my lap time down from the Super Sports, just did not last long. Did pull 1.27g's in a corner, but only good one day on track. my recommendation is for street use only, better than SS.
Thanks for leaving a review 615 CTS V!

Fastest wearing tire I've had
I have run these tires on my mustang for 2 summers. Never abused with low km's. Tires are all nearly at the wear bars but even worse is that all 4 have a bad hop to them..so bad you can even see it on the balance machine. Steering wheel shakes like crazy on the highway. Never buying Michelin again.
Great Tire
Thankfully these came on my new 911 that I ordered (you can't specify tire brand) - much preferred over the Pirellis Zeros that typically come on new Porsches. On my previous Boxster, I switched from Pirelli to Michelin Pilots and was pleased. Note: I don't track my cars.
Thanks so much for the kind words MTD1, we appreciate your loyalty.

THE ULTIMATE HIGH PERFORMANCE TIRE!
I am not one just to skimp on tires to save some dollars or whatever “looks cool” I do my reasearch (i.e. reviews, videos, tech speech’s, etc.). After all what is the point of having a performance vehicle if you don’t go for the best in performance tires? The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s are THOSE TIRES! These things are excellent in every way. You notice the grip (and especially in the turns) right off the bat. The sidewallls look outstanding and the other edge channels to me, resemble small lightning bolts which is just another cool thing about these tires. Much quieter and smoother than other performance tires I’ve owned in the past. I’m beyond satisfied with these tires! If you’re on the fence about these, do yourself a great thing and get them! Great in turns, keep you from hydroplaning in the rain and very responsive. You get what you pay for and these are worth it. After all they are Michelin’s. And come with major Kung Fu grip! Drive with peace of mind and confidence with these! Thanks for making a great tire an excellent tire!
Thanks for the great feedback MidnghtZ! It is much appreciated!

Love 'em
Our car: 2008 Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible with Ford's SVT CAI upgrade (540hp-500pound feet torque). Immediately rode better, smoother and quieter on the new Pilot Sport A/S3. Great traction (mostly dry roads as I try not to use in wet weather conditions). Installed May 2016 so this is second summer of use.
Thanks so much for the kind words 2008 GT500 Shelby Cobra. Much appreciated.

Did not last long
I'm now in the market for new tires. I had these tires on my Ford Fusion -- purchased 6/9/15. I put no more than 24 K on these tires during that time but was told two months ago that I needed to consider new tires and today failed the state inspection because my tires are past due to be replaced. I came here to look for the warranty on mileage because I spent way too much for these tires that lasted the shortest amount of time of any tires I have ever purchased in 30 years of driving. Very disappointing.
We understand the Pilot Sport A/S3 tires on your Ford Fusion did not meet your expectation in terms of mileage. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 1-866-866-6605.

Yes, these tires are awesome.
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.
Amazing tires in all conditions
My BMW M2 came with substandard tires from another company so after 10,000 miles I decided to upgrade to the Pilot Sport 4s and immediately noticed a difference in ride quality, noise, overall grip and handling. I recently drove in monsoon conditions and was amazed at the level of grip in an absolute downpour. I now have 5,000 miles on the 4s. I strongly recommend these tires for anyone seeking the best. I am a believer!!
We appreciate your business T-bone. We look forward to serving your tire needs in the future.

Wow, what a difference.
2015 Chevy SS. They make this 4000 lb four door feel like a light weight. Hooks off the light, great around a corner... Hands down the best I have ever had in the rain. I couldn't be happier with this tire. You guys did a great job with this one.
We appreciate your loyalty Nick. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
