I had the opposite review ahahah. I had a noisy and loud experience with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+s, had them on for a couple of days before i switched them to the DWS 06s. They sound just as quiet as the stock tires and they are very smooth. I made a post about them and a lot of people didn't have issues with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ but everyone has a different experience!
When these do do wear I plan on getting the Michelin’s just because I trust them.
I had the DWS06 tires on my Subaru WRX and while they were very comfortable they had the worst overnight flat spotting issues I have ever experienced. They would smooth out after a few minutes of driving but the steering wheel would shake until they did.

Im not saying this is the case but from everything I read the Michelin’s are noisy and twitchy for the first 500-1000 miles and then they break in and get quieter and comfortable. While I am still using the stock tires I know that the first 1000 miles on them was a harsh ride and now that I’m past that point they feel very comfortable to drive on.

I have had the OEM Bridgestones, Michelin AS3’s and Conti DWS 06’s on my “14. Both the Bridgestones and Michelins gave me under 15,000 miles, with the Michelins never loosing their noisiness, even after break in. I am very pleased with the Conti’s. The wear, ride and noise are the best of the three.

Has anyone noticed any kind of flat spotting overnight on their IS with the DWS06's?
Like I said I loved them on my WRX but that was an issue people reported with the WRX and the DWS06 specifically and that I can confirm I experienced every single day I had them on my car..
Im looking for feedback as well for the most comfortable tires. Honestly I don't need super performance or long wear. those would be nice but not at the cost of a harsh ride..

Can I please get a clarification about road noise on the Pilot Super Sports, Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and the DWS06s?
I am looking for a long tread life, great dry performance and quiet road noise to replace my OEM F Sport tires.

Pilot sports are loud, they don't really quiet down don't listen to those that claim there is a break in period. Even if there was, the end result is still very loud. I only noticed when I drove my dads '13 RX350. Got back in my is350 and was like holy hell was that always there?
