Much Better than O.E. MXM4

These tires perform better on my 2017 Acura RDX than the OE Michelin MXM4s. I purchased spec 235/60R18/XL 107V to replace the SL OE tires. I was concerned about the ride being too harsh with the XL rating for the new tires but, they actually ride much better (less steering wheel feedback from road imperfections) than the OEs. Road noise, braking, cornering and traction are also improved. Maria in the Michelin Consumer Care Department was great getting answers to my questions.

Michelin is and always has been the best tires by far

Very good tires beautiful ride very quiet and very smooth, my issue is the 80 dollar gift card crap, just give the rebate right then and there during the purchase, not this ridiculous process of getting a gift care. That would steer my toward another manufacture.

77k Miles

Although I was pushing it at the end, my OEM Primacy Tour A/S tires got me to 77,600 miles! I also changed my brakes, OEM too, if that shows you a little into my driving style. The style fits the design of my Genesis G70 Prestige 2.0 AWD perfectly, and the road noise has gone away once again.

Good tires

This is the second time I have used the Primacy Tour A/S on my car. They are quiet, comfortable, and stable. They hold air pressure quite well. They are not very durable. The set I replaced lasted 30 K miles, even though they are rated for 45 K miles.

Not great

These came stock on our 2025 Hyundai Tucson. They made the ride really stiff, and hard. We put on some Yokohama YKC CTX tires like we had on our Kia. The difference is amazing! I don't know how Michelin gets such great ratings all the time. Maybe since those came with the car they weren't actual Michelin primacy tires or something.

We’re sorry to hear the Primacy Tour A/S tires did not meet your ride comfort expectations on your Hyundai Tucson. New tires can feel firmer at first and typically require a short break in period as the tread surface wears in and the tires settle into normal performance. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. If we can be of assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to contact our Consumer Care team a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

Durability problem

Being a lifelong Michigan resident, I've never been afraid to drive in poor weather conditions and I've never given much thought to my tires - until the last month when I had two blowouts on tires on a new BMW x1 with less than 3,000 miles on them. This is my second X1, and I never had an issue with the tires on my 2017 (a different tire brand). Seems like there must be a durability problem with this tire. Over the years I've periodically hit potholes and needed a realignment, but I've never blown a tire, and certainly not two within a month.

Avoid buying

This tire is just not durable. I have replaced two in the space of three months. Both times were a sidewall damage during normal driving on a city street. I have driven these same streets on Pirelli tires and have no problems. They also underperform on snow and ice. Even with an Audi Quattro drivetrain, the tires slide in slush, snow, or on ice.

Terrible, dangerous tires

Do not buy these tires. Last winter I noticed my SRX seemed to be having a hard time on the snow and ice. My tires only has about 28,000 miles on them so I thought maybe it was just my vehicle that didn’t do well in the snow/ice. I never thought to have my tires checked since they are rated for 55,000! It’s wi ter again I can barely get going on the so n does not handle well at all. Tires have 38,000 miles on. Took to the mechanic and he said I need new tires already! Absolutely ridiculous for what I paid and the fact that they are supposed to go to 55,000 miles. I can’t afford this. I used to trust Michelin. I wish I would have read reviews. They should be recalled.

Great in dry/summer - impossible in any other weather.

On my 2024 GV80 3.5 AWD - These tires are excellent in the dry. Are quiet, comfortable and are the OE for this car. tires have 20k and a fair amount of tread left . Driving in MN and FL. Typically all seasons like this are fine. In the wet they are the scariest tire i've used in 40+ years of driving all types of vehicles in all kinds of weather. ANY slippery surface, light/heavy snow, rain, icy, the tramlining above 30 mph has made me change roads and trips. Car seems to be fighting itself from all 4 corners. glad i checked this site as i was going into the dealer to check tire options. traction control/snow mode/diff lock - nothing made difference.

Horrible tires

These tires came stock with my 2025 Honda Pilot. First issue i had, is i had a front right tire strike a curb at fairly low speed and blow out. The piece of the tire that blew out was literally in the shape of a square!!! That is like some kind of design defect. The tire also handles poorly on wet pavement. Driving down the tollway to Dallas was sketchy as if i hit any type of standing water, i could feel the front tires lose traction. IM now looking for better replacements for these tires that are less than a year old on a new vehicle.
