Point S Summer Star Sport 3 im Test
The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ is widely regarded as a top-tier ultra-high-performance all-season tire that significantly improves handling, steering response, and wet-weather confidence compared to most OEM factory tires. While users consistently praise its dry and wet grip, many report significant road noise—often described as a drone or hum—that tends to worsen as the tire wears.

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ is widely regarded as a top-tier ultra-high-performance all-season tire that significantly improves handling, steering response, and wet-weather confidence compared to most OEM factory tires. While users consistently praise its dry and wet grip, many report significant road noise—often described as a drone or hum—that tends to worsen as the tire wears. Tread life is a frequent point of contention, with many owners reporting premature wear that falls short of the 45,000-mile warranty, particularly on vehicles with staggered setups or aggressive driving styles.
Vorteile
- Exceptional dry and wet traction that rivals dedicated summer tires.
- Significant improvement in steering precision and cornering stability over OEM tires.
- Strong performance in light snow and cold temperatures for an all-season tire.
- Noticeable improvement in ride comfort when replacing stiff factory run-flat tires.
Nachteile
- Intrusive road noise, specifically a humming or droning sound at highway speeds (60-75 mph).
- Tread life often fails to meet the 45,000-mile warranty expectations.
- Performance in deep snow or ice is limited and not comparable to dedicated winter tires.
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy for some vehicle models.
Gut zu wissen
- Users with staggered wheel setups (common on BMW, Mercedes, and Mustang) frequently report inability to rotate tires, leading to faster, uneven wear and voided mileage warranties.
- Owners of performance vehicles (e.g., WRX, GTI, Mustang) note that while the tire is excellent for daily driving, it can feel 'squishy' or 'mushy' compared to dedicated summer tires during extreme track or aggressive canyon driving.
- Drivers switching from run-flat tires to this non-run-flat model report a transformative improvement in ride quality and impact absorption.
