Smooth ride
I bought these tires a couple weeks ago. I recently completed a 2000 mile trip to the Northwest and it was very smooth, good handling and took the road very well. I had the stock brand of tires on my BMW and they lasted 18000 miles.
Best tire ever!
I've been driving Audis for the last 12 years with stock Pirellis. When it came time to replace them, I either stayed with Pirelli or tried Conti. Figured with the $75 rebate with the Michelin the higher cost of the Michelin would be offset with the rebate so I "splurged." I guess there's a reason they cost more - they are better. Handling and traction on turns/curves are amazing. No data on the all season performance as they haven't been on in the winter yet. Also no data on tread life as they are relatively new. But so far so good.
Great tires!
Great traction that will give me the mileage i need
Great all around tire
I bought these to replace run flats. These provide excellent grip without the teeth rattling ride.
Overkill for my truck
I have these tires on my 91 GMC Sierra C1500 SC SB RWD pickup. I have rear 275/35r20 front 255/35r20. My pickup I have has 58000 original miles, because it sat for ten years with little movement. The original tires were flat spotted dry rotted so I can't compare the tires to stock. This truck was in in California. Once I got it smogged I drove this truck with these tires and wheels 2800 miles to North Carolina where I'm stationed. During the 5 day trip I encountered HEAVY rain and hot days. These wheels worked flawlessly. Even during twisting roads and the bed loaded, it handled well and during acceleration. I am happy with my purchase.
Michelin AS3+
Replaced my old Michelin AS3 with the New Model AS3+. The old AS3 Michelin tires tread was wearing out to the tread bar indicator with only 10,000-12,000 miles. There apparently was something wrong with the rubber compound the tire was built with. I was very diassappointed. The new AS3+ new compound
Awesome! Resolved traction issues with 2012 GT500.
My 2012 Shelby with SVT Package came with Goodyear F1 Supercar G2 tires. The HP on this car is 550 and was very difficult to get the power to the road in 1st and 2nd gear. These Sport A/S 3+ are the right choice for street use. I can floor it in 1st and 2nd gear with no wheel spin. 1st gear I can floor it and go all the way to redline with no fishtailing. 2nd gear the tires make that wonderful chirp and just dig in and go. I like goodyear, but these michelins are a real performance upgrade.
Great Tire
Bought these tires to replace OEM tires. They are smooth and quiet. look nice. Have not tried on Country roads yet to see how they perform.
Great Tires
Got larger wheels and went with these tires, they are great, smooth, quiet, and great traction. As for the guy that posted a bad review on his Jag, clearly your car has issues with suspension and or alignment.
Not Quite Ready For Prime Time
These tires were purchased as an upgrade to the OEM tires on a 2012 Jaguar XF. The expectation was that they would be a better handling tire. Unfortunately the opportunity to prove that expectation really never presented itself. Unfortunately, two of the four tires developed excessive runout in just under 300 miles. While they tracked true, the resultant vibration was considerable. My tire dealer offered a set of new A/S 3+ tires. However, I opted to further upgrade to the Pilot Super Sport. To be sure, they aren't an all season tire, however they have always been a superb choice on any car that I've put them on.
