The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ includes a W- and Y-speed rated Ultra High Performance All-Season tire member of Michelin’s Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires developed for the drivers of high-end sports cars, sporty coupes and sedans looking for total performance. The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tire is designed to provide Michelin’s highest level of ultra-high all-season performance, emphasizing dry road handling and wet road grip with balanced all-season traction for occasional light snow.
Compared to the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 it replaces, the new Pilot Sport A/S 3+ shares the same performance-oriented tread pattern, featuring a new, advanced Helio+ tread compound for increased light-snow traction.
Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires feature Michelin’s Helio+ Technology, which utilizes sunflower oil and Extreme Silica Technology in the tread compound to increase traction at low temperatures and on wet roads. Molded into an aggressive asymmetric tread pattern inspired by the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, its 4-, 5- or 6-rib designs* are tuned to complement tire width and feature more rubber and rigid blocks on their outboard shoulders to provide high levels of lateral grip that offer as much dry cornering capability as some competitors’ summer performance tires. Wide circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning, enhancing wet traction and grip in standing water.
Variable Contact Patch 3.0 technology derived from Michelin’s experience in endurance racing focuses on evenly spreading contact patch pressures and temperatures. The tire’s internal structure includes two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts reinforced with spirally wrapped polyamide cord to combine predictable handling and high-speed durability with treadwear and ride comfort.

Founder at Tiresout. Used to be working as an engineer at Bridgestone Tires Akron Technical Center. The responsibilities included but were not limited to technical computing, indoor & outdoor testing of new tires.
Great tires. Big difference in overall handling comfort & noise level compared to any other tire I have used. Feels like a different car
EXTREMELY LOUD!!! So annoying. Exchanging them now. Road noise is intolerable.Of the dozens of sets of high performance tires I’ve driven over the past 30 years these are the only ones I’ve ever returned.
Purchased these Pilot Sport A/S 3+ to replace Continentals. Performed very well in all weathers here in Wisconsin. For an all season tire, they did wonderfull in the snow, especially with the help of Audi’s quattro. Wet performance is very confident. Dry conditions and handling is exceptional. With every set of Michelin tire I have owned so far, noise level is near non-existent from tires. Drove roughly 45k miles and still have plenty of tread left. Would definitely recommend these for an all around tire.
very noisy on all pavement other than brand new.
I had Goodyear f-1 AS on before in a staggered setup and they were way more precise and quick in their steering response. This tire feels like it has a soft sidewall and is comfortable but that’s not why I have my car. I have noticed this same style of ride with Michelins on my wife’s CRV too. Makes the car lean in corners. Replaced…I think they were PS2s…with Continental and the Honda drove sooo much better. I’m not a fan. Not sure how they get the ratings unless it is because people drive slow.
These Mich tires are a very good high-performance AS tire, as they perform quite admirably for AS tires, especially in warmer climate dry, and wet roads. The winter traction is surprisingly good. However, I need to point out that my S4 has continuous AWD, which greatly helps acceleration traction. Still, the tires have very good and usable steering traction in light and moderate snow fall, such as 4″, and they do well with higher snow amounts when driving much slower and with greater care.My greatest complain is the level of tire/tread noise. It is quiet loud and I wasn’t expecting that as other Mich tires I’ve had experience with were a good bit quieter. Those tire noise is greatest on concrete road surfaces. And to be fair, concrete surfaces create louder tread noise for pretty much most tires. Prior to these tires I’ve had Conti Extreme Contact DWS and DWS-06 tires on two different sport sedans. Initially, the Contis are quieter, but after only about 10K miles, the newer DWS-06 tires became very loud to the point of being quit annoying. So, when I got my S4 in August of 2018, I choose these Mich tires that November 2018.Overall, the Conti tires have a more compliant ride, and take light bumps and broken pavement with a smoother more absorbent quality. To get that quality the Conti DWS-06 gives up a slight response to quicker steering response. The Mich tires retain a better and quicker response to steering input. And for that they have a bit more jolt on bumps and broken pavement.These are very good to great HP-AS tires,and depending on the particular vehicle you have there could be more tire/tread noise than you were expecting. In my S4 the tread noise/sound is acceptable given the overall goodness and performance of these tires. Just turn up the audio system musci a bit more. 🙂
