I still own my F1 super car tires, but I know MANY people that like the Michelin's better!!! The A/S and others are all very good!!! Less threads better for tracks and There higher thread like the A/S is good for all general daily driving, which is what I would get. The A/S is a super good tire!!! There will be other thumbs up, you will see!!!! Plus the price is better than the stock run flats!!!

My original tires are still good on my vette so I haven't put new tires on it yet, but I do have Michelin pilot sport a/s plus's on my S2000 and they are terrific! I replaced Bridgestones and the Michelins are quieter and have a great grip.

I have the A/S 3's on mine and they are not as quiet as I had hoped they would be, but do offer an improved ride. Greatly improved in wet conditions.

I may have lost some mileage with them which makes me think maybe they are softer.

I would definately purchase them again.

I put them on my 03 when the goodyears wore out. Changed the noise, ride and handling of the car. Loved them. I will put them on the 13 when I need tires. Only have 15K on the goodyears now.

Default Pilot Sport A/S 3

I bought a set for my 2006 Base coupe last year and love them compared to the original Goodyears I had.

I don't believe the A/S 3 is made in a runflat, if that matters to you. The A/S Plus is still made in runflat for the Vette.

My Vette is a daily driver. I previously had the A/S Plus run flats and was very happy with them. I replaced them with the A/S 3 a few months ago, and I'm happy with them as well.

At first, I was hesitant to go with non run flats. But the better traction, ride, quietness, warranty and price have me satisfied with my choice.

Good Luck!

I had a set of A/S3's on my daily driver and put close to 20k on them and still had plenty of wear left. Just got some new wheels and wanted to use A/S3's again but they don't make them in 305/30 so I went with Pilot Super Sports.

how is the handling with A/S3? Does it break lose quite easily? How would it compare to PSS?
