What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 7 owner reviews found online.

The Michelin Pilot Sport AS 3 generally receives favorable ratings for its exceptional wet and dry grip, precise handling, and stiff sidewalls that offer superior steering response compared to competitors like the Continental DWS. However, users frequently note drawbacks regarding elevated road noise, heavy tire weight, and variable tread life depending on regional road conditions and driving style.

Pros

Exceptional grip in both wet and dry weather conditions
Outstanding cornering stability and steering responsiveness
Stiff sidewalls providing superior handling compared to competitors
Slow and even tread wear reported by some users

Cons

Noticeable and bothersome road noise
Heavy tire construction
Shorter than expected tread life for certain drivers on abrasive surfaces

Worth knowing

Drivers of lighter vehicles report favorable tread wear characteristics.
Users on abrasive road surfaces, such as California freeways, experienced much faster rubber degradation.
