Michelin Pilot Sport A S 3: what the numbers tell you
Manufacturer treadwear data for the Pilot Sport A S 3 is not publicly listed. This is common for OEM-only or track-day tires that don't carry a US treadwear warranty. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the Pilot Sport A S 3 is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
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. Ive had these tires for 4 years now theyve lasted quite a bit, as far as ride quality they do just fine, handling is fine also, however the durability is trash ive already developed cracks in between the threads of the tires amd slowly losing air on the tires on a weekly basis. We’re glad to hear the Pilot sport A/S 3+ delivered good ride quality and handling over the years, but we’re sorry about the durability issues you've experienced. Please visit an authorized Michelin dealer. They can inspect your tires and diagnose the reasons for the slow leak. If you'd like to discuss further, please call us at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).
