Disappointed with Mileage
For traction and water dispersing, they were very good. But these 45,000 mile warranty tires made it only 20,000 miles with very little tread depth remaining. Dealer doing routine maintenance made us sign a waiver to ignore their recommendation to change the tires.
We are sorry to hear your tires did not meet the mileage expectations. Our records indicate you've been in contact with our Consumer Care team. If you need anything further, give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Great Tires
The car loves the tires and the car drives and feels much better on the road. Thank you!
They hook up good on my Porsche
Foodie rated Michelin
I chose the Michelin because I am a Foodie. Nice new rubber smell in my garage.
Smooth Ride
We had another leading brand which were very noisy, these are very quiet and handle great!
Poor wear
I have 25k on them and they're at 4/32, last Michelins lasted 32k and were dry rotting(original tires on car). I'm done buying premium recommended tires.
Spiderman3355, we're sorry to read of your disappointment in the Pilot Sport 3 tires. 25k is not unusual mileage for an ultra high performance tire such as this. We recommend taking your vehicle to an authorized Michelin retailer, preferably the selling dealer, for an inspection of the tires. While you are there, call us at 866-866-6605 8am-5pm EST Mon-Fri to that we can get the dealer's findings.

Good performance, good durability
Much better than OEM ContiContact Sport for both performance and durability.
Thanks for the positive comments, Barry K.

Is my 2nd set of PS3 on this car. Is very good all rounder far everyday drive. Comfortable, low noise, very good wet grip. But when on a spirited drive, a bit too soft especially cornering. And tend to be more noisy as it get more mileage. Previously was on Potenza Adrenalin. Will want to try other tires after this set is done.
