Installed as OEM on a 2016 Kia Optima, and at 29,000 miles, being told they need replaced. Have had Michelin before and had good luck, not sure why these are preforming so poorly. Also seeing other Optima owners reporting similar results. Maybe they shipped a bad batch to Kia? Working with the dealer to replace under the pro-rated warranty, but even then I have to pay installation and balancing...that should be included.

I purchased a 14 Avalon xle touring with these tires on it from factory. I've had the car for a little less than a month and these tires give the car a very comfortable ride! I can't speak on the tread life for only having it for such a short time now but I use to have the Pilot MXM4 on my 11 Accord ex v6 and the tread lasted very well for daily spirited commutes to work. I recommend the Primacy and the Pilot MXM4 for anyone looking for a quiet comfortable ride without sacrificing handling, traction and performance.

This tire came standard on my 2011 Lincoln MKS (purchased used with 13,000 miles) and they perform flawlessly until a little snow and then it's like I have a set of slicks. I live in Minnesota and that's not a good thing. Seriously, other cars pull away from me and I just slip. I have to turn off the traction control because it will absolutely not move otherwise. I love Michelin tires. I have had a policy of no other brand but there is something wrong with these. As I look for replacement tires before this winter everything keeps pointing me to these tires. What to do?

These are the best original equiment tires I have used. They are on a 2009 Acura TSX and enhance the car's already good handling, in my opinion. The only comloaint I have is that, at least with this car, they are a little noisy. I view this as more of a probl;em with not enough insulation on the Acura, and I suspect it is triggered by the low profile of the tire.

These were the OEMs for my '16 BMW 750i, and I bought a new set of four tires two years ago. They have less than 20k miles on them and are falling apart, with chunks of rubber breaking off. They were purchased and installed from the BMW dealership, and they regularly service the vehicle; tire pressure is maintained properly. I need more tires now because these are disintegrating, and I'm not sure I can confidently purchase them again. They are very quiet running and have good traction and overall performance otherwise. A local tire shop that checked out the tires said they were likely sitting for a year or more before they were installed - not sure how to verify that. Were these sitting in a warehouse or storage and drying out that caused this?

These are the best all around tires I have ever experienced. They give the car a safe, planted feel, a huge improvement from the last set of (cheaper) tires I had. The MXV4 is excellent in all conditions, especially rain. There are cheaper tires but in the long run, you can't go wrong with Michelin tires.

To correct my review of the Premier which I just bought for my Camary, my review was for the Primacy for a Camary 2 1/2 years ago. I was more than pleased with the performance of the Primacy even when I hit the pothole and got a bubble in the tire, I was driving on that tire for 2 months until I bought the Premier. As far as tires for my car, I will stay with Michelin as long as I can afford them.

I too have had a problem with these tires on my Acura TL. I purchased them a year ago, and in the last few months the noise level has increased dramatically. I had them re-balanced and rotated and the noise got worse. It's very aggravating to the point where I hate to take the car on the expressway for the loud noise. Is this covered under warranty? Can I return these to the dealer and exchange them? I've always had good luck with Michelins and would always recommend them to my friends, but I don't know if I can last another 2-3 yrs. on these noisey tires!

I just replaced my tires on my 2012 Hyd. Sonata. I did not see any drop off in gas mileage on first long trip as others claim . We had a very heavy sleet/ ice storm yesterday and I had to drive in it to man our volunteer ambulance . The traction was very good driving on our iced over mountainous roads- going both up and down hills and around curves. I have these tires on my 2004 caddy also and have been please with mileage life . We will buy a Subaru this summer and I am going to ask dealer to replace the tires with these tires.

Purchased this set at 25,000mi on my BMW 525. They have lasted until 90,000 and been excellent in all conditions in our area. We have a tremendous amount of rain and they handle just as well in it as they do on dry road. The only negative is the cost. They have increased tremendously since I purchased my first set 3 years ago.
