Super Grip!! Love them!!
I have a 2015 Ford Mustang V6. I upgraded my wheels to RTR Tech 5 19-inch in charcoal matte. Paired them up with Michelin's Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 275/40ZR19s. Last weekend I went out with my Mustang group for a fun Palms to Pines drive. Drove through some windy mountain roads & then down hill into the CA desert. My previous setup, on hard turns, I'd get a little bit of squealing from the tires. Granted, they had over 20,000 miles but they are rated as 45,000 mile capable. These, with less than 500 miles didn't make a peep on hard turns and I pushed them harder than I normally would just to see what may happen. Love them so far!
Thanks for the great feedback and thank you for your loyalty CIASpook!

275/40/R19 and 245/40/R19
My vehicle is a 2105 Lexus GS 350 F Sport, so the rear tires are wider than the front.I just bought these tires today (5/25/2017) and only have put about 15 miles on them, so this review maybe a bit premature and I will follow up, with another review, in a month or so. For the short term, the tread pattern is aggressive and the road noise (with the music off) it seems to have some feedback in the cabin, but these are fresh thick treads. Michelin tires are definitely my tires of choice and I have no doubt my next review will be very positive and with more substantial information.
We appreciate your business Hammer, and look forward to serving your tire needs in the future.

confortable, assurance,grip,safe,peace of mind
2007 jetta that came with continental that rode like a truck. when i bought my michelin a/s3 it was like night and day rock'n roll road to billard smooth road, comes rain it gaved me confidence that i did not have with the oem. a major upgrade they stick like glue not slippery when wet. anddefinetly not noisy like i had. ok for all this the price to pay is wear. who cares when they are giving me the things that i needed. like a pricey meal you pay what you you paid for. i will buy them again. i have done 60000km with them and are presently at 6/32. i don't use them in winter. got winter tires for that. i bought them for name brand michelin
We appreciate your loyalty volkswagen summit. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.

Should have bought the Sport Cup 3
A little disappointed in the A/S 3+. Sidewall seems to roll a bit on my STI and not hold a high speed corne like I expected. Ride is excellent, noise acceptable, but this is the tire your selector chose. I would give up mileage for more aggressive handling.

Surprise!
My introduction to Michelins. Bought a sports car and had to replace the summer tires to get home over the mountains. A dealer recommended Pilot Sport A/S3+ based on customer feedback. So far I have been unable to get the tires to break loose on pavement, even in heavy rain with slush on the hairpin bends. Maybe with practice I will find the limitations of the tires - early days still. I was so impressed with the qualities of these tires I bought Michelin Defenders for our compact SUV. So far they are equally impressive.
Vibration!
I had run Pilot Super Sport tires of my 2012 Boss 302 Mustang for the past few years and loved them. However, I decided to replace with the Pilot Sport A/S 3+ as my area of NM gets a reasonable amount of snow, and I wanted a little more security when driving in the cold months. Apparently, I made a huge mistake. Since the day these tires were installed, I have had a persistent vibration / pulsation from both the front and rear tires that cannot be balanced out, even with road force balancing performed by several different tire companies. The vibration is present at all speeds, but is particularly present at highway speeds. Horrible tires
Wet performance is amazing
I've owned these tires for about 2k miles. They may change as they wear. I am a spirited driver & the dry performance of these tires is good but they are not as settled, don't take a set, as I expected or would prefer. The trade off is outstanding wet performance. Perhaps the dry cornering will become more sure footed as the tires wear in a bit but I hope it does not happen at the sacrifice of ridiculously good wet performance.
Your feedback is appreciated Bob in WI!

Better than my previous summer perf tires
Better dry and wet grip than previous continental sc3 tires. Even though here are "all-season" the grip levels are better than my previous summer perf tire. In wet conditions, the difference is huge and feels less floaty. Much better road feel too.
Great Grip, but noisy.
I just replaced 4 MXM4 tires, of which, I got a little over 40,000 miles out of with 4 Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on my Mercedes E350. I immediately noticed better grip, better turn in and exiting on corners. But they are noisy, on the Interstate and around town. I wish I had known this I may have stuck with MXM4 tires.

Good All Around Tire
When I bought my M3 a year ago, it came with these tires on it. They were nearly new. The Sport A/S 3 holds grip well in the corners and even with the drop-top I get no tire noise. They work quite well in the rain. Even in the snow they perform well enough to drive. I drove through several inches of wet snow on my way through Flagstaff once. The rear came loose a couple times but for tires that aren't meant for harsh winters, they performed well. A year later, they still have another 6 months to a year of tread left.
What an encouraging review topher339! Thanks so much!
