Review Summary
The tires provide excellent handling, grip, and traction in both dry and wet conditions, offering a smooth, comfortable ride with minimal road noise. Customers praise the exceptional performance, especially in terms of cornering, braking, and stability, even in challenging weather. However, some users have experienced premature tread wear, with tread life ranging from 12,000 to 60,000 miles, which may not match the premium price point.

Good while new only...
I had 4 of these tires installed on my Nissan Juke Nismo RS. While when new, they were a decently good tire, after about 15,000 miles, the comfort was gone and the wet condition handling was also gone. I can feel road all around, and the noise is terrible. Needless to say, I am having them replaced again. Not a good tire.
Great Sport Tire Even Wear
The VW GTI due to the camber can cause rear tires to be choppy and very loud. I've replaced 2 sets of tires before the treads were worn due to the extremely loud road noise and both sets were in the same price range as the Michelins. I bought a set of these and have about 35k miles on them and they have been great. Handling is amazing, the wear is even on all tires and they last. I wouldn't put anything else on my car. I'm pricing tires for replacement before next winter and these are the only tires I would consider.
Performance like none other
Replaced my factory Pirelli P-Zero all season run flats with Pilot Sport A/S 3+. Huge difference! I drive very spirited and drag race for fun. These tires are very quiet, ride smooth and have great hookup at the track. Oh, and I just drove thru the Buffalo Blizzard, snow packed icy roads at -5 degrees! Traction was phenomenal with the dual clutch, torque vectoring transmission. No snow tires needed. So what are you waiting for? Buy a set.
Thanks Storm Trooper! Love to read great reviews like this one!

Great Tire!
I purchased a set of four from a local tire dealer back in the summer for a 2016 Lincoln MKZ 3.7 V6 AWD. I have now run them through some snowy and wet weather over the last few weeks. The tires have handled very adequately in the snow. On the wet and dry pavement they are great for handling! More of a sporty feel than the Michelin Primacy that came stock on the car originally as those were designed for a more "cushy" feel, but they are a perfect balance for what I was looking for in new tires.
So glad to hear of your great experience with Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires taxSmarty.

Tires crack
I moved from a warm weather climate to a cooler climate and 3 of my 4 tires cracked near the rim within a month of moving (I only owned the tires for 1.5 years). Company refused to acknowledge that they are defective tires. Prior to this I always had Pirelli tires and NEVER even had a flat or any issues.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Anew5. We would recommend getting a tire inspection at an authorized dealer. Please have the dealer contact us at 866-866-6605 to report their findings.

Smooth and quiet ride...
I bought these tires a couple months ago and after driving a thousand miles or so, I am very pleased. The old 528 drives like new.
Thanks for the awesome review Chad!

Replaced OEM on VW GTI
I replaced my origional Pirelli P7s on my GTI at 26,000 miles. While they still has 6/32 tread life their traction, especially in the wet couldn't work well with the low end torque (peak @ 1500 RPM). The Pilot Sport A/S 3 is everything I'd hoped to gain. Today in driving rain I threw it around with no hint of losing grip. The car simply goes where you point it. I wish I had gotten these when I bought the car new in 2015. The ride has even improved, as well as the noise level. I had read a few reviews that said these were somewhat noisier and harsher, but my experience is just the opposite. I drive the GTI hard and appreciate the tight road connection. I'm waiting to see what they can do in light snow as an A/S tire but I'm sure they will outperform the OEM tires.
Thanks for the awesome review wwhjazz! It's greatly appreciated!

Hardest tires I've ever owned
Bought these several months ago and now have about 6,000 miles on them and they are quiet on the road, balance out great but they are the hardest tires ive ever driven on. I drive an Acura TL SH AWD and have owned many other sport sedans with various tire brands. These must have the stiffest sidewall construction because every crack or strip in the pavement are loudly pronounced with a thud as if the shocks and struts are completely blown, which they are not. Even running them at 32psi vs 35 makes no difference. Michelin won't do anything about it because I put to many miles on them before calling but since the worn OEM Goodyear Eagle RSA's drove better without any tread I'm thinking of making a switch back which will obviously be an expensive and large mistake on my part.

Fantastic tire
Replaced Porsche Macan S OEM Latitude HP, which I considered a good tire, but this A/S 3+ is significantly better. Same comfortable and quiet ride, but handling much better, especially in rain.
Thank you for the positive comments GTF55.

Quiet, Smooth, and incredible tire wear
We bought our Corvette with the Pilot Sport All Season tires. This car was driven by the owner of the dealership for a short time. The stock Michelin tires are a summer only tire, and he would be driving in cold weather until the first snow. He had Pirelli tires put on and they were terrible according to him (@500 miles). He had all season Pilot Sports put on and they really are the perfect tire for the C-7 Stingray. The one huge dividend of these All Season tires is the driver comfort, even with the Z-51 suspension and select ride package. These tires should be offered as a factory option for owners that just want to enjoy their Corvette on public roads and have no intention of ever driving on a race track.
We appreciate your business JWGears, and look forward to serving your tire needs in the future.
